Exercise:
Start by walking. Get up off the chair and go for a walk.
Diet:
Cut out all processed foods. If it comes in a box or a can, don't eat it.
As you get more motivated because you'll feel better just by simply getting started, join a gym and learn to properly weight train.
A simple full...
Good luck with that. See you in 10 years...or maybe we won't. I have yet to meet an old vegan that wasn't riddled with mysterious diseases or looked like crap.
I used to do 4 to 5 whey shakes a day with 3 whole food meals. Now I do 1 or 2 shakes and 5 whole food meals. Not only do I feel better but I make consistent gains.
So to answer your question no, whole foods for the win is my opinion.
If you are worried about health concerns, just eat leans...
I used to do them. They are great for cutting but not so much for building muscle. You'll find you won't overload a muscle group enough to get any real gains unless you put allot more time in the gym per training session.
But, having said that it sounds like you have your mind made up.
You are going to have to eat some carbs. Just stick with moderate amounts of rice & sweet potatoes cycled around training days. Otherwise you are just going to crash your metabolism and stall fat loss.
Besides that crappy low protein diet: all that running = excessive cortisol production. Good bye muscle, hello future health problems caused by all that inflammation & bone loss.
^^^agree. I find if i stretch before training, my training suffers. Proper warm-up is much more important in preventing injuries. Besides, like Kenny said; if you do full range of motion on your lifts you are properly stretching.
This doesn't surprise me at all. Even with tuna there are many different species of tuna. I prefer albacore myself if canned, Yellow fin if it's a steak, and Blue fin if it's sushi. All other species of tuna taste like crap.
"Why we get fat" is the dumbed down version of "good calories bad calories" by the same author. Both good reads and explain why a calorie from one source isn't the same as a calorie from another as far as fat gain.
