Do SUBSCRIBE for new weekly videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/joannasohofficial Happy World VEGAN Day! To all the vegans out there, I’m sure you must have had at least one person asking you “Where do you get your protein from?” or saying “You’re NOT consuming enough protein!”. I’m sure you’ll agree that this is NOT true.

There are lots of high protein plant-based food such as nuts and seeds, tempeh, tofu, soy, legumes, beans, quinoa, oatmeal, spinach and more. I’ve put together a high protein plant-based meal plan. Watch it and make them!

Your protein intake will vary depending on your activity level. But the general recommendation is 1g of protein per 1kg of body weight. For instance my body weight is 50kgs, so my daily protein intake should be around 50g. But because I’m active, I’ll up my protein intake to about 60 – 70g.

Ladies, WE ARE NOT MEN! Our body does not function like a MAN, we go through our monthly menstrual cycle, hence our hormones go up and down almost every week. Don’t expect to TRAIN LIKE A MAN! Don’t feel bad when you can’t push as hard on certain days but that also doesn’t mean you should just sit back and do nothing.

WATCH this video through to understand the Menstrual Cycle and how we women CAN adjust our exercise routine and also food intake to match our body’s internal rhythms and even help with weight loss.

In general, the menstrual cycle occurs in two phases. On average, it’s a 28-day cycle.

1) FOLLICULAR Phase – Day 1 to Day 14
– Go hard! Do high intensity workouts, lift heavy and perform total body strength training.
– Your body is more tolerant to pain and muscles recover quicker.
– Your body uses Carbs as its main source of fuel.
– You can increase your carb intake slightly especially after an intense workout.

2) LUTEAL Phase – Day 14 to Day 28
– I like to call this phase the “roller coaster” phase.
– this is when all the PMS symptoms start to hit: you might crave for sugar or high fat food, you have bigger appetite, you feel sluggish, you have trouble sleeping, your body retains more water, you feel bloated and you might suffer from mild cramps too.
– Your body turns to FAT AS FUEL instead of carbs.
– Good news, your body is now burning FAT rather than carbs or glycogen. Focus on steady pace cardio to get the most out of your workout.
– This is also when the muscle breakdown increases, hence it takes longer for you to recover from your workout. So choose moderation workout that’s less intense.
– You might lose your motivation BUT power through your workout, as much as possible, eat well and you WILL feel better.

We are all very different and it takes time to really understand your body. If you have this knowledge, you’re able to take advantage of the hormonal benefits and overcome the challenges by adjusting and changing your workout routine and also food intake.

Again, remember this is a guideline as there is very limited research in regards to training with your menstrual cycle. Give it a try, make changes and see what works for you.
