40 chickens, 3 bison, and 2 cows are alive because this man ate vegan for a day. Real question is- was this harder than your wife’s diet?

brian struggled more eating vegan than when he moved those stones in Ireland.

The type of Vegan food I enjoy are the ones that aren't trying to imitate meat. Like there's nothing wrong with a plate of roasted vegetables and rice.

Look at those regular sized tacos in Brian’s humongous hands 😂😂

Brian looked at that first plate like “this isn’t food, this is what food eats!”

By the way, as someone who married a vegetarian (she does it because it helps her maintain her glucose levels as a Type 1 diabetic) I can't imagine the farts Brian had. When we first started dating I was eating a lot more vegetarian meals because I was cooking for her a lot and wooing her with my chef skills. Let me tell ya, it took a good 3 or 4 months before my body got used to the higher instance of full veggie meals and the heinous anus stopped.

"My dissapointment is inmensurable and my day is ruined". Brian Shaw, 2022.

Brian with the pizzas is like a kid with a lunchable.

Best way to attempt Vegan is to go with Indian food. The spices they add to their food just takes it to another level.

Man, I wish Robert and Eddie could've been there to witness that once in a lifetime event!

I didn't know that I needed to watch Brian Shaw eat frozen yogurt in front of Hot Topic, but now I do know that. That's exactly what I needed.

He put his tongue on the line for entertaining us. Respect. This probably might be the riskiest thing he's ever done.

"I literally don't know how to describe that taste" also brian "salt helps... kinda" brian nailed it! What else describes flavour if salt can't help it?

If I had to do a vegan challenge….. I’d only eat potatoes 🥔

The stomach issues are likely due to 2 things: you're not used to eating that much soy and you probably ate way more fiber than normal. Both those can lead to bloating and in that kind of volume, I imagine it's really uncomfortable.

I love these video's! It's a break from the normal weight lifting stuff and to see you out of your comfort zone. keep these types of video's coming.

I love how Brians says he not gonna 'Complain' while complaining 🤭🤣😂

Please continue the 500lbs bench press series! It was an epic series!

Brian holding a taco is like Hulk giving tacos to Ant-Man in the Endgame.

The way Brian looked at breakfast - was full of broken dreams and disappointment 😂😂

We need an update video on how things went the next morning. Changing diets that drastic must have led to some brutal toilet times.

Brians next video "300 pound man goes back to eating real food"

This men has lifted hundreds thousands of pounds yet lifting those wings to his mouth were the heaviest thing he ever lifted

Love that you tried it! Vegan Junkfood is still junkfood, what you want is "Whole foods plant based" and for you a focus in higher calory foods as avocados, nuts and seeds and legumes (you might have a problem doing a 24H challenge, as it takes weeks or even months for the digestion system to get used to the high amount of fiber)

11:06 That's actually a 15" pizza Brian is holding.

If I did vegan, I would avoid any of the processed fake meats and things like that.

I'll bet Eddie is back there helping them cook it and laughing.

Soooo we just not gunna talk about how small that taco was in Brian's hand!?

strongman vegan breakfast: oat meal with oat/almond milk Walnuts+peanuts+almonds+sesame and some bluberries pea protein shake piece of bread with avocado. all good

Hope I get to meet you one day Brian. 💪💪💪💪💪

Brian, I've been vegan for 34 years. I can tell you a tofu scramble and fake wings is not the way to go. There were so many other delicious options out there. All types of real vegetable dishes that you would have loved! I know you wanted lots of calories so for instance Indian food even though just vegetable can do that because of the sometimes high oil content. And desserts such as non dairy ice cream of so many different flavors would have blown you away! Plus unbelievable cakes and so much more. Next time(if there is a next time) you need to consult with a long time vegan for some good advice on the yummiest options.

I was thinking to myself Brian is going to have some spicy stomach problems, Brian at Mellow Mushroom, "I'm having some stomach discomfort." 😂

The lines on the tofu are from the folding and pressing to squeeze out the liquid

As a vegan weight lifter I commend you I've been vegan since I was 15 after suffering a mild heart attack while I was playing football I was overweight close to you're weight 400 pounds and my doctor actually talked me into trying it out at first I was just like you but I started eating whole plant-based foods I enjoy some mock meat products but they are too heavy on the salty side so it's better to eat whole plant-based foods I enjoy watching you're videos and I love you're content you inspired me to do powerlifting.

I think Brian enjoyed the Taco Bell menu challenge more than this one LOL

I have bad stomach issues and when you talked about stomach distress I was like “welcome to my every day”

Bro you deserve far more followers for these videos, keep em up I love you Brian!

Brian's tummy "hey, food time bring on the meeetz!" Ten minutes later: "Vertderferk is this stuff?

We love ya Brian. Stay strong, stay healthy! Can't wait to see you compete again.

Ya got more patience than I do brother. I wouldn't have lasted 24 minutes...

I just thought of a great eating challenge. Do an entire day or 1 item for every food truck in town. Show the those guys a bunch of love either way

I love how graciously honest he is!

I love Brians's honesty. :D

Even through the speed lapse you can see the complete disgust on Brian's face as he eats 😂😂

Your reaction to the ribs got me laughing out loud 😂

Guy looks in pain during that breakfast

I'm a meat eater but I've had seitan that was better than most chicken, and tofu can be absolutely delicious. Brian (and anyone else like me who has no interest in becoming vegan but does have interest in having a little bit less meat in their diet), keep trying stuff! Daal is my favorite, it's cheap, easy, satisfying and high-protein.

Lmao. This was hilarious. Laughed the whole time.

For scale, those were actually 14" pizzas he was eating

That shot composition while eating outside the yogurt shop is gorgeous. Great camera work.

I wanna see Brian enter some food eating contests. Maybe Nathan's??

Eating the “wings”, the way he looked angry at those

Looking forward to seeing you and Eddie at Karen's Diner!

4:48 Brian being taller than the guy who's standing inside a caravan is damn hilarious

I've never seen such a large man be so miserable while eating 😆 I couldn't do it all day either.

Hurts to know you were 200 yds away from my house at snooze and I didn’t run into you, maybe one day!

Gotta be honest, I was a meat and potato guy for 35 years. Cholesterol was 269. Dr wanted to put me on meds. Said I'm going vegan first. 5 months later cholesterol was 189. I'm 6'0 220, and 41 years old. I feel better now and am stronger than I was in my late 20's early 30's. I digest the food so much easier and can eat more regularly. It might not be for everyone but for me I've never felt better

We all love Brian , but he’s too nice to do this lol. Every single thing he wanted to say this taste like crap but he doesn’t want to be mean to the restaurant.

Love the content brother. Keep up the good work

I still remember the taco bell challenge..."I'll take one of everything, we dont need vegetarian, thats pointless" - haha!

You should have had an actual Vegan make you your food/meals. I was vegan for over a year and didn’t eat a lot of the fake meet crap. There are a ton of real foods with protein in them that are vegan. Oreos are vegan :)

Thank you for allowing yourself to suffer for our amusement Brian 😂 you’re a great guy.

Dude! Awesome video! As a vegan i loved the content. I gotta say theres so many options out there and they almost all taste different. Glad u tried it which most people are too scared to do

I love cooking for myself - and I've been adding more and more vegan recipes to my rotation. It's definitely hard to find something that meets texture and flavor expectations compared to food that you're familiar with! I love the recipes I do make now, and it's hard to find good vegan recipes. Would love to see much more bodybuilding/cooking youtube crossover to help us all cook and eat better

Brian finishing vegan tofu meal. Conclusion? Eggs are absolutly delicious 😂 says everything

This is awesome Brian keep going!

I like how no matter what food it is, it will always look bite size when Brian is holding it.

I just love this man.. what a guy

Seitan tacos sound great. I had seitan kebab once, while it does not taste like beef, it was really well spiced so as a meal in itself it was actually really enjoyable. Honestly, the best vegan stuff is the one that does not pretend to be meat or dairy, since i doubt it could ever really live up to the real thing.

You forgot the avarages vegans 3 monster energy drinks, 2 candy bars and a Mug rootbeer.

Kudos for trying something you’re not used to! ❤ addicted to your videos!

What would make it all better would be if you added Sriracha or hot sauce. Those two things alone help me branch out to other foods 😁

You're a FAR bigger man than I. Literally and figuratively my friend. Gotta love how this man just crushes any task in front of him regardless of what it is. He could have just eaten some pasta and pizza and called it a day. But he was going "beyond meat" and lentils...I know...I know... it's nightmarish. But this man CRUSHED it like a WSM Championship. Absolute legend.

I always wonder where Brian’s cholesterol/sugar etc levels are at. That would be a good video.

I'd love to have seen the reactions of the workers/people in those places when he turned up haha

I'd be angry all the time too if I had to eat this food, now I understand why every vegan I've met has been a angry person.

This video embodies the fact that Brian is taking a break from strongman, he never would've taken this risk if he was prepping.

Brian is so nice, he won't even say something mean about a plate of food. Gotta love this guy!

Him talking to the softserve machine had me dying. You are the man Brian.

Hey Brian, how well did the vegan options hold you over? Speaking in terms of fullness and fuel energy compared to conventional meals with meat?

Brain I attempted being a vegan for a week for a project and I couldn't do it for the 1st day you're a better man than me

Brian is so brave (or crazy), pregnancy, vegan, what's next?

Alternate title: Brian Shaw Goes Catabolic for 24 hours.

I really like how honest you are lol

I mean with vegan food in my experience it's all about finding what you like. I'm not vegan myself but we eat vegan a lot anyway because my girlfriend prefers it and I decided for myself that I want to reduce my meat-intake a lot. We're pretty happy with it now but we had to experiment for a while to find stuff we liked. Some people don't like "alternative meat" kind of stuff at all and just prefer getting their protein from stuff like beans or using tofu in its own way in recipes, not just to imitate meat. We generally like meat replacement products but if you really want to imitate meat you have to introduce some additional tricks (liquid smoke makes things taste more "meaty" in many dishes for example) and the meat replacements are all different in terms of: 1. what do you digest well? Some people have trouble with soy, others with seitan and there's also stuff based on peas or lentils. 2. what consistency do you like? For me personally pea-based is the best because soy based can be a bit dry sometimes and seitan is often too tough for me in terms of the consistency. 3. what actually tastes good to you? Once again pea-based is my favourite but each manufacturer has their own processing and blend of proteins, fats and fibre along with seasoning obviously. So I'd say apart from the obvious "it's everybody's choice" there is no "one way" to eat vegan. If you're motivated to do it you find your way but there are definitely vegan dishes I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole while I love others :D

I enjoy experimenting with vegan food and can honestly say that I have never been able to find a tofu scramble that is palatable, and I eat a lot of tofu.

😂😂 I just can’t Brian cracks me up

I love that you did this! I've been curious to see you try for a long time. I am going to preface the rest of this comment with saying I'm not personally vegan and don't think that everyone should be at all, especially not someone like Brian that has very specific nutritional needs. If you were to ever try this again, I'd love to see you eat a healthier and more natural plant based diet. There are so many naturally vegan foods that we already eat or could eat that the meat substitutes, while potentially nice, aren't necessary to reach that goal. I also think that the naturally plant based foods tend to taste better and digest much better too. You'd get a lot more of a natural diet and have an easier time digesting it, as there aren't as many processed ingredients or fillers in it. Perhaps Mexican flavours (which I think you like) or Indian ones (I'm not sure if you like those) would lend themselves well, as there are a lot of naturally plant based recipes there. Either way, thank you for doing this. You're an inspiration in general. Keep being great!

Yo! Shout out to Mr. Shaw for giving veganism a chance. Watching this eating lentils lol!

Fair play in giving it a shot. I wouldn't ever go 100% vegan, but its good to have options. Years ago I reduced the amount of meat I ate and switched to a vegetarian, dairy, and egg based diet. Doing so, I was able to reduce my food bill and increase my daily protein intake while making gains. I still eat meat once or twice a week when I go out.

Admire the honesty with Trifecta. You could have said you loved it all but you didn't which I appreciate.

Much respect for trying something new that you weren’t into. Way to go brother!

I swear he was on the verge of crying this whole video🤣🙏

If u can eat that ,u should be a competitive eater Brian, iron guts shaw

I love seeing areas that I recognize, since you live right in our area. :) Keep up with the awesome videos, man!

Its awesome to see Brian visiting the orchard mall. I live close by and wish to meet him one day

Dude, this is great. His reactions remind me of a toddler that is fussy and definitely not enjoying his brussel sprouts

This ought to be good! 🤣

Damn brian you just dwarf everything you pass or touch. Love the content bro

Watching the strongest man in the world suffer through a 10000kcal day of tofu and seitan has brought immeasurable joy to my life.
