Forks Over Knives | From Recreational Athlete to International Ultra-Athlete on a Plant-Based Diet
Since I was going “all-in” to achieve my lifelong dream, I decided to try the plant-based diet and the green smoothies with which my coach had found so much success. I jumped in with vigor and my body seemed to like it. Within two weeks, I completely lost my appetite for chicken. Two weeks after that, I lost my taste for other meats. My new way of eating also helped me beat my cravings for sugar and alcohol. The more I stayed on the regimen, the better I felt.
Yeesh.
You keep finding new levels of irrelevancy. I've got an anecdote for you about a man who smokes cigars all his life, chews tobacco where he can't smoke, drinks vodka straight every day and is still ticking at 92. Why doesn't his example represent a healthy lifestyle?
Well in all fairness there are not many professional endurance athletes that smoke. However, there are a lot of professional endurance athletes on a plant based diet due to its promoting much lower levels of inflammation.
That said, it does require a lot of nutritional planning to hit their nutritional macros.

Lots of elite athletes are omnivorous though. The presence of absence of animal products clearly isn’t the controlling factor for the quality of a diet.please post any article you find about an elite athlete who smokes and drinks like that person

While that fairly vapid statement is a simple statement of fact, it doesn’t really say anything, not least in relation to my post or the thread in general. You raised the topic of diet for elite athletes and that’s what I responded to. If you want to encourage a general improvement in the average person’s diet, I’d suggest that “militant veganism” tis entirely the wrong way to go about it, even if you do believe that is the ultimate best end goal.the presence of animal products is a far cry from the standard american diet. most of us could do better
This is what happens when you eat broccoli with steroid cream sauce.
You....I like you!
Veganism is as retarded as celibacy.
Unnatural and abhorrent.
right. so is exercise.

BTW - Why do you come to a political discussion forum to push a dietary agenda?? Shouldn't you be out there on forums that are oriented around nutrition???
