Of course it is for all genders! HGM can be used to muscle up from skinny beanpole to buff gorilla in the shortest time possible. However, it can also be used to tone, tighten or sculpt in any thinkable way. The perfect plant-based sports nutrition is not different for men, women, and others. There is absolutely no difference between men and women regarding the optimal conditions when it comes to building muscles. Although woman and men are equipped with different hormone levels or anatomy, the way to build muscle is the same.

No, there are many other food items you could use. It is not necessary to use soy products. Nevertheless, that being said, soy is one of the best food items from the kingdom of plants. You can find more detailed information about soy and its effects on health and the body in the book.

Of course, there is. All the information in the guide is based on experience and scientific literature. Unfortunately, there are too many alternative facts and rumors these days. In the field of plant nutrition, too, rumors have often become dangerous half-knowledge. So I wanted to make sure that the book is based on proper and credible sources.

The Happy Green Muscle Method combines many elements that have been proven to work. Although it is inherently difficult to conduct meaningful clinical studies with humans, an increasing number of scientific research confirms the book's message. Besides, lots of professional and successful vegan athletes prove it every day.

Although HGM was not created to lose fat as quickly as possible, it might have precisely this effect. There is substantial scientific and anecdotal evidence that a whole food plant-based diet with optimized protein intake can boost favorable restructuring of body composition. That means more functional lean mass and less stored fat mass. Of course, you do not have to live purely whole food plant-based to use the HGM-Method, but if you want to reduce fat, it is one auspicious way to go.

Also, care for muscles alone is like the best antidote against overarching fat depots. The yo-yo effect is the prime example: when caloric restriction is poorly executed, an excessive amount of muscle is lost. If the energy supply is increased again after the diet, the body fat increases again. Take care of your muscles, and you automatically provide the best conditions to reduce body fat.

No, you do not have to follow a strict diet regime to be successful. The Happy Green Muscle Method is your advisor, inspiration, and helping hand. You can take any component from the book and merge it with your routines and the things which already work for YOU personally.

Assuming you eat a plant-based diet that works almost perfectly for you, you can use HGM to tweak and make it more suitable to grow muscle. If you start and have no clue, you can adapt larger parts from HGM and continue there.

You do not necessarily have to be a vegan and eat purely plant-based. The system is adaptable to your requirements. Even if you live a mixed diet, you can benefit from this system. You can also use the system as an opportunity to make your diet a little more plant-based.  All principles explained in the book pertain to nutrition in general, no matter how you eat right now.

I do not think you will profit much from a generic meal plan. The philosophy of the book is to give you the edge in any relevant topic on plant-based nutrition. It is enough material for a completely new life - if you wish. It is not just about a quick result. The book will help you to be successful in the long run.

However, you will also get lists and templates you can use as inspiration or starting point; for example, lists with the best-suited food items, meal templates optimized for the most anabolic effect, recipes for pre-workout nutrition, or protein-bowl creation.
