You can't outrun a bad diet

You can when you are in your teens and twenties. You won't get fat if you are any kind of decent HS or especially collegiate runner by eating burgers, fries, pizza, etc all the time. You are probably of small build and naturally thing, that's why you are a runner. And you are running a lot of miles on top of your already high functioning system- you will be thin.

That gets increasingly more difficult the older you get.

Care to elaborate how that is junk? Top vitamins and minerals healthy mix of carbs fat and protein.

Crappy starchy carbs that spike insulin and are loaded with phytins, gluten and lectins. If you want something healthier, take the topping and put it on cold rice or yams. Better yet, just eat paleo or low-carb.

As soon as someone says gluten is bad for you, that's the point you can dismiss everything they say. They've outed themselves as an idiot.

I noticed a lot of low quality foods have mono and di-glycerides. Usually those low quality pre-packaged pastries at the supermarket. They cause diarrhea everytime.

Triggered!

e-mail wejo and get him to set up a gluten-free safe space where the g-word will never offend your delicate eyeballs.

You are too fixated on your back pain. It will go away if you ignore it long enough. The best way to prevent future back pain is to ignore the current one.

Just increase your mileage. You will start feeling it easier. It's tried and tested.

you can eat like crap and run fast but you're still increasing the risk of high blood pressure, high blood sugar, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and a whole bunch of other stuff caused by bad diet.

10/10

I've known for decades that what you eat the day before and day of a race will not likely hurt you.

Obviously you might shave some seconds off, feel better the next day, and be in better health if you do eat better. But Shirley that's not important.

That has been my plan. But I still rarely have much of an appetite.

It's a loop hole food industry uses to avoid labelling it as partially hydrogenated oil, and falsely claim 0g transfat

Then you are not running enough. Keep increasing your mileage until you get your appetite back.

More miles always killed my appetite and I really don't mind it being gone anyway. In fact, I like rarely feeling hungry.

Is vegan the best diet for good health?
