‼️ New episode of The Aethix Approach podcast ‼️ New episode of The Aethix Approach podcast just posted - check it out at aethixfitness.com or click the link in my bio! 9️⃣ In this episode, I speak with Adrian Lozano, a California based vegan life coach and yogi, who helps others transform their life through mindfulness practices. Adrian himself has struggled with anxiety and depression in the past which caused him to seek his own journey of self improvement. Through exercise, yoga, diet, meditation, positive thinking and therapy, Adrian was able to completely transform himself over time into the happy and positive person he is today. Adrian continues his pursuit of personal growth and development and has a passion for helping others undergo the same transformation that he himself has, and continues, to undergo. Adrian is a very upbeat, kind, open minded person and I learned a lot from our conversation. It was a pleasure speaking with him and I hope you enjoy the chat! You can find Adrian’s life coaching services at AdrianLozano.com and his personal page on Instagram at @lozano.flows 😊
Are you guys sick of all my posts of @veggiecastle Are you guys sick of all my posts of @veggiecastle platters yet cuz I’m not! 😂 All vegan Mac and cheese, quinoa and garbanzo beans, wings, broccoli and jerk chick’n...

⬇️ Easy ingredient swaps for lower calorie pla ⬇️ Easy ingredient swaps for lower calorie plant based meals while cutting: 1️⃣ Peanut Butter for Powdered Peanut Butter (PB2) - Powdered peanut butter has over 100 less calories per serving than regular peanut butter and even more protein! 2️⃣ Wheat Pasta for Zucchini Noodles or Miracle (Shirataki) Noodles - Zucchini noodles are only about 15-25 calories per serving and Miracle noodles are even less! 3️⃣ Oat or Hemp Milk for Unsweetened Almond or Cashew Milk - Oat and Hemp Milk are delicious but usually higher calorie than Almond and Cashew Milk! 4️⃣ Cooking with Oil for Cooking with Water - Oil has a lot of calories and isn’t filling at all. Next time you cook, just add a little water to a non stick pan and sautée at a lower heat for a 0 calorie option! 5️⃣ Dressings and Sauces for Balsamic Vinegar, Hot Sauce or Soy Sauce - A lot of dressings and sauces sneak in a lot of calories due to oil content, usually. Swap these out for a 0 to low calorie sauce like vinegar, hot sauce or soy sauce to still get some extra flavor without the calories!
SPIRULINA is a type of blue-green algae commonly c SPIRULINA is a type of blue-green algae commonly consumed as a dietary supplement or whole food. It is mostly made up of calories coming from protein - almost as high as traditional protein powder. 100 grams of spirulina (for easy reference, a general serving size is usually more like 15g) contains about 290 calories from 24 grams of carbs, 8 grams of fat, 58 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber. This same amount also contains over 200% of the daily RDI of vitamin B1, over 300% vitamin B2, 85% B3, 70% B5, 200% iron, and 90% manganese. It’s also very high in vitamins B6, B9, C, E and K, choline, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium and zinc. It’s basically a nutritional powerhouse! 🤔 Spirulina was commonly consumed by the Aztecs in the form of cakes! It needs much less land and water than other high protein sources and is currently being investigated to help address food security, malnutrition and even long term space flights including potential Mars missions. Pretty interesting stuff! ‼️It is recommended to buy spirulina from reputable manufacturers and avoid buying products that source their spirulina from China or Japan due to potentially higher levels of heavy metals and radiation respectively. Do your research for a good source before purchasing! . . . . . . #veganfitness #veganbodybuilding #vegan #bodybuilding #veganrecipe #eatmoreplants #plantbased #whatveganseat #govegan #vegancommunity #plantbasedfitness #plantbasedbodybuilding #veganfood #supplements #spirulina #naturalbodybuilding #veganathlete #meatfree #eatplants #vegansofig #nomeatathlete #meatlessmonday #infographic #Aethixfitness #plantbaseddiet #veganmuscle #plantbasedfitness #veganfood #vegannyc #veganprotein
🤤 Sometimes I really enjoy just a simple meal l 🤤 Sometimes I really enjoy just a simple meal like this! Asparagus and sliced potatoes cooked on the grill, black beans, peas and @gardein #vegan chipotle lime tenders with some ketchup! About 723 calories with 108 grams of carbs, 17 grams of fat and 42 grams of protein right here. @gardein is one of my favorite vegan mock meat product brands - anyone have any other good suggestions? 🧐
For overall back development, there are THREE type For overall back development, there are THREE types of main movements you should be doing and these are: 1️⃣ Vertical Pulls (Ex: Chin/Pull Up’s, Lat Pulldown’s) 2️⃣ Horizontal Pulls (Ex: Barbell Rows, Dumbbell Rows) 3️⃣ Hip Hinge (Ex: Deadlifts, RDL’s) Vertical pulls, horizontal pulls and hip hinge movements all work the majority of the muscles in the upper body BUT they each emphasize different muscles slightly more. Chin up’s, for example, show more lat activation than horizontal rows such as the barbell row but the traps and rhomboids are stimulated more from barbell rows than chin up’s. Barbell rows also require engagement of the lower back, glutes and hamstrings for stability which the chin up doesn’t, BUT hip hinges such as RDL’s will emphasize the lower back and spinal erector muscles even more than barbell rows. However, they won’t have the same degree of activation in the lats or rhomboids as either of the other two exercises. 🤔 IF you can’t fit them all in your training program, then at the very least you should incorporate a VERTICAL PULL with a HIP HINGE exercise. The horizontal pull has more crossover between both those movements and although I’d recommend including variations of all three when possible, chin/pull up’s and deadlifts will suffice overall, if needed!
