I would suggest eating linseed oil/flaxseed oil capsules. Next, I believe eating meat is a sin, so I would suggest not eating it. Buy yourself whey protien, you will have all the protein you need.

Kind Regards,

Drink a lot of water

Do cardio in the mornings on an empty stomach

they said you are not supposed to exercise on a empty stomach.

What happens dont' workout, like do heavy weights on an empty stomach.

I would suggest running on an empty stomach, you'll find it's really hard to do, because what happens is your body is using the fat in your body as energy. You'll lose fat doing it.

I would also suggest eating cottage cheese, yogurt, and almonds, beans, anything for protein. I would look into buying green peppers/jalepenos and putting them in your salad as fat burners.. It contains capiscium which helps to burn fat.

For Whey Protein, I would suggest buying anything by Whey XP or anything by Sans. DONT buy creatine or any fat burning supplmeents, just stick to whey protein, buy a 5kilogram dubbi as well.

Food

Bodybuilding on a vegetarian diet is hugely difficult if you don't eat eggs/fish. It can be done but it's a helluva lot more difficult than eating meat.

Things like nuts and legumes are important. Cottage cheese, if you can stomach it, is also good, as is low-fat cheese (it's harder than normal cheese).

Supplements

Look at the protein powders carefully, since some contain egg protein too. I used to use Met-Rx Protein plus, which was good. Maximuscle Promax has been recommended to me by others.

Creatine - at this stage, you don't need it. When you get into it (after a good year or so of regular training), you can try it out. Ignore what others might say about it screwing up your kidneys. The early studies were done on people with poor kidney function so they couldn't handle the creatine. Later studies were poorly-controlled. More recent studies show that regular use does no harm to kidney function.

Exercising

I used to do weights first thing in the morning, followed by cardio session. I once tried to lift weights on an empty stomach and felt dizzy. Found the best thing is to drink a protein shake in the morning before weights.

Since you're starting off, you need to do whole body exercises for the first month. Every session you do one compound exercise for each muscle group, and you work all muscle groups. When you first start lifting, you don't grow muscle. Instead your muscle fibres learn to fire simultaneously so you'll get stronger quickly. After around a month or so, you're muscle will start to tear and you'll grow new muscle.

Workouts should be kept as brief as possible - I used to keep them to 45-60mins, followed by 20 mins cardio.

Brief exercise plan:

Quads/Glutes - Leg Press

Hamstrings - Lying Leg Curl

Chest - Bench Press

Upper Back - Seated Cable Rows

Shoulders - Seated Machine Press

Traps - Dumbbell Shrug

Triceps - Cable Press down

Biceps - Standing EZ-Bar Curl

Lower Back - Back Extension

Abs - Crunches

You do something like that every session, 3x per week. The first week do 15 reps of an exercise in one go (one set), the second and third weeks do 2 sets. Fourth week 2-3 sets (depending on how you are doing). Adjust the weight so that you can just about do the 15th rep of each exercise.

After that, you can do a dedicated building plan where you have a set day for a set muscle group(s).

http://www.exrx.net/ is a good website, has animated GIFs of exercises so you know how to do them. Remember to never compromise form for heavy lifting. Loads of people go for the heaviest weights they can handle, ignoring form and then have injuries. Good form means that you isolate and target the muscle properly and prevents injuries.

Gurbani against consuming meat:

ਦੁਨਂ​‍ੀਆ ਮੁਰਦਾਰ ਖੁਰਦਨੀ ਗਾਫਲ ਹਵਾਇ ॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥

The world eats dead carcasses, living by neglect and greed. ||Pause||

ਗੈਬਾਨ ਹੈਵਾਨ ਹਰਾਮ ਕੁਸਤਨੀ ਮੁਰਦਾਰ ਬਖੋਰਾਇ ॥

gaibaan haivaan haraam kustanee murdaar bakhoraa-ay.

Like a goblin, or a beast, they kill and eat the forbidden carcasses of meat.

ਦਿਲ ਕਬਜ ਕਬਜਾ ਕਾਦਰੋ ਦੋਜਕ ਸਜਾਇ ॥੨॥

dil kabaj kabjaa kaadro dojak sajaa-ay. ||2||

So control your urges, or else you will be seized by the Lord, and thrown into the tortures of hell. ||2||

eating meat is no controversy.... its very simple and clear yaar... killing of any animal can never be justified by any religion... how can we kill these innocent animals only for our taste...

for those who eat meat.. i would like to ask "will they also kill their mother, father, sister and relatives for their taste?" why don't they kill them... if they can kill bakra and murga...who r not so hygiene.. then why don't their relatives... they will be more hygiene... and they will not cost them...

i don't want to hurt anyone but just want to say that no one wants to loose his beloveds ..then why r they killing animals... they r also father, mother, son of someone...

and about diet... i think u should opt for soya milk along with 2-3 bananas
