@gabrielleb By the looks of it, you'd hardly need surgery, but a good rehab will surely help. If it's because you haven't had time to get proper diagnostics, that's fine. Knowing what you exactly have is essential to recover properly. These answers people want for thes types of questions are...

@gabrielleb Which injury? is it a tendon or a meniscus tear? When did it happen? For how long have you been immobilized (if you have)? Also, get a better explanation than "for god knows how long" from your doctor, that's plain irresponsible by their part. Sadly, short-term dieting and...

@sunflowerseedaddict HIIT is as useful if not more to endurance for the general population. Even marathonians train HIIT several times a week nowadays. You will most likely reap more benefits training one day less if you switch to HIIT. General recommendations for muscle growth go between 20 to...

@sunflowerseedaddict Harris-Benedict Equation is the formula most commonly used to calculate BMR, which is to be taken with a grain of salt, but can be useful to start. What these bands tend to mesaure correctly is daily activity. Just keep in mind the most important fact: that you're not...

@sunflowerseedaddict Don't mention it. I became a PT to help people not to get rich, I'm just glad I can do it. From your answer, I suppose that your objective is mainly aesthethic, and primarily gaining muscle mass. Moreover, as you're a relatively experienced lifter, I need a bit more of...

@rnion I was halfway through the explanation and reddit decided to delete the whole reply. Here we go again. First off, a couple of disclaimers: ·If you had more experience, I'd be ok giving you a routine, but at the start is when you need most help and supervision from a professional. Despite...

@magnus359 What you'll struggle most will probably be sufficient caloric intake. Keep in mind that plant-based diets are higher in fiber and water content, making meals less caloric. That's really good for overall health of an average person, but not someone training seriously. That said, I...

@john127 You literally quoted one of the videos from the best doctor on clinical nutrition I know, so I'll leave you to with it. Hint: it's almost physically impossible to eat too much soy.

@mark7871 Low-rep, high-intensity strength training with excentric overload would be your best bet. Good luck!

@mark7871 Glucosamine and chondroitin oral supplements have been shown to have little effect on joint health. When necessary (gonalgia caused by the degeneration of cartilage, mainly), they're infiltrated on the affected joints, and even then, there's still debate about their efficacy. What's...

@beccabeccab3 I became vegan at first for athletic performance and recovery. If he's against a plant-based diet, he doesn't have a clue about nutrition. You can either keep him if he's a good enough trainer and ignore his diet advice (we often don't study dietetics in a significant depth during...

@greg76 Sadly, if you want a tonned body, you need more muscle mass. For women, that means lower-body, for men, upper body. I'll give you two examples of world-class female runners: marathonian/ sprinter. If running long distances is good for your mental health, go for it, but I have to advise...

@greg76 Good afternoon. Yes, there are a few ways to improve your routine, I'll order them by importance: ·Low-intensity high-volume aerobic training isn't the best option to boost body compositions. You definitely should be doing HIIT by now (as you have a year of experience already). Short...

@dawn16 Hello, you're welcome! False. There are multiples studies on plant-based protein isolates (here's soy and here's pea, as two examples). Not a single paper I've read up to date following a gold-standard (peer-reviewed, randomised controlled trials on humans) that shows difference between...

Good afternoon, r/vegantiness. Ten days ago, I hosted an AMA with in-depth answers to your questions. As I was still receiving them today, here is another one. For whoever missed the first, the description is quoted below. Once again, I'm here to answer whatever you need. From my previous AMA:
