Fritz HorstmannHostThat's a really good question.
It's kind of a tough question because, you know, I am a little bit conflicted with not being more plant-based, but I don't beat myself up about it.
And I think, you know, it's really unique for everyone.
And I think it's important, especially for people who might be wanting to, you know, make that switch to being plant-based that you don't have to go cold Turkey or a hundred percent cold Turkey, no pun intended, um, with a, with a plant choice.
Um, you know, the more you you're eating plant-based, it's better for still better for animals, still better for the environment, still better for, um, uh, your health.
So you can get there with baby steps and, um, Um, I, I think there's no shame in being a flexitarian again.
Um, you have to figure out what works best for you and it's a really individual thing.
And, um,
I think I've made a post about that and, and lost a lot of followers from it.
in my mind, and there's also a book on that, How to Make a Vegan World, the more plant-based choices we can make, the better for everyone involved, the planet, the animals, and also the individual person.

If you plant it properly, it can also be unhealthy for you if you don't plant it properly.
But looking at studies, you cannot... blatantly say or or just um just say hey vegan is best for everyone there's certain nuance but i think it's a personal decision and i think that's awesome to see that you've you found a path there um okay cool so we talked about that and i'm curious what have you seen change in your body Over the last 10 years, have you felt it's gotten harder for you to gain muscle, gain strength? And then how has it been in the program since focusing obviously on losing weight, but also in getting stronger? And also, I know you're posting your updates frequently and would love to hear what you've been able to achieve skill-wise as well with that.
