Being vegan worth it physically

Definitely benefits to eating veg, Will your athletic performance suffer? Maybe it will if your body reacts to it negatively. But who cares, you and me are never going pro anyway.

Meat is a lie.

Hmmmm......more hot dogs, bologna, bacon, steak, corn beef, pepperoni......OR more fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, whole grains.......

People should not eat too much rabbit food, it is mostly toxic. Perfect diet for any human is 100% raw grass-fed beef. That's also best human diet for the environment because there is a lot of grass on the planet.

Death by GIRD (except for the steak) or death by explosive diarrhea, a helluva choice there.

Okay so in my health class we watched "what the health" and it was pretty much vegan propaganda and they didn't give any evidence but they did have athletes on there that talked about how much better they got and how much better they felt and all that. But then there also people like sage canaday who don't get the necessary nutrients from being vegan so discuss. Is going vegan gonna help or hurt athletic performance. More specifically running since I'm a runner

Did you even watch the documentary?

Like any other eating disorder, veganism often shows short-term benefits, with serious negative effects down the road. You could try it as a short-term method, since it is essentially a form of fasting, then adjust with animal foods later on. Or just eat more and better animal foods right off the line and spare yourself the drama.

If sage had a different diet he would be doing worse.

97% of all last place finishers and DNFers are meat-eaters.

Think about the last race you were in. The dude who finished dead fing last was a meat eater.

Why are you so stoopid.....?

Veganism is proven to be 100% lethal. I am a doctor of naturopathic medicine (ND) and 100% of my patients who were vegan have become severely emaciated and psychotic. Avoid at all costs.

The science is settled. Raw red meat is the optimal human diet.

No offense but you don't sound like a very good Doctor.

No I did and they only provided like 4 things of evidence trash talking meet, they also never took into account everyone's different physical characteristics and quantity. They also never proved how plant based was better.

At my last race, the last place finisher was very overweight. I really admire her for getting out there and getting after it, but she's overweight. By the time she finished, the post race meat lovers pizza was gone. She had an utter meltdown. She was soooo upset that there was no more meatlovers pizza. Screaming at the volunteers for not ordering enough meat pizza for the charity post race meal.

YMMV is a great example of what is wrong with a meat focused diet. Brain cells are going quick and he is babbling the same stuff over and over.

It brings me great satisfaction that you consistently post your ad hominem rhetoric without a registered handle. I keeps you in an appropriately subordinate, soylent-subservient position. Thanks again for your loyal service!

20 years out of college and I still run 5 days a week.

Personal experience. I quit eating meat 3 years ago and within a week I had a lot more energy. I feel healthier, more energetic and happier since. Granted I am not training at a top level anymore so I can’t say how it will affect you. But my entire family and many of my friends who followed me are ecstatic they quit eating meat. I have yet to personally talk to someone who quit eating meat say they regret it. Most talk about how much better they feel.

My current girlfriend who is also a runner quit eating meat 3 months ago and won’t shut up about how much better she feels.

I should have quit eating meat 40 years ago.

Same +10000000

The only changes I have had are allll amazing. Unreal the difference. People who are unhealthy and follow an animal free diet is because they are junk food vegans who eat fries/mt dew/Oreos

Unfortunately, asking for dietary advice on this website is about as useless as asking for health advice. If my 2 cents are worth anything, you can be a healthy runner with basically any sort of balanced diet, including vegan. I've been vegetarian for over 30 years and vegan for 20 and am basically your average, middle of the road masters runner. I don't think it made me faster or slower, but I do think it improved my immune system as I rarely get sick. It's better for the planet. It's better for the animals. If you do go for it, make sure you get enough calories. Plant-based foods are dense in nutrients, but less dense in terms of calories, so get ready to increase the volume of food you eat. Take a b-12 supplement. Consider a plant-based iron supplement if you're over 70 mpw. Good luck.
