Main pros I've noticed is that I have much less stomach issues and an easier time getting out of bed in the morning
Main con is it is very easy for me to undereat from a caloric standpoint. I now need a protein smoothie in the morning. If I just eat solid foods against how my stomach feels I don't get enough in for heavier training blocks since many vegetarian/vegan options are not calorie dense.
Yeah, right. We are supposed to listen to some idiot on a messageboard over the World Cancer Research Fund International. Are you out of your freakin' mind?
I’m gonna be honest here. I went vegan after watching game changers. Morphed into vegetarian for a year and a half, then just fish, now back to everything.
I love the moral side of it but it made eating a serious chore. As a result I was not getting the nutrition I needed and I was sick and injured more than I’ve ever been in my life. I did get introduced to new foods and meals that I still love today, but I was so sick of being limited/limiting when with friends or in a new place and always having to plan my meals.
This is the exact corporate propaganda that I swallowed,quite literally, for years, getting sicker and sicker the entire time.
Red meat is the healthiest food for humans and the ONLY one that can support the highest level of health when consumed EXCLUSIVELY for not only years, but generations (fish and eggs are second and third). Proven by millions of humans for millions of years, but precious modern snowflake "researchers" want us to ration it out by the teaspoon....F that, lol.

Eh, I actually FOLLOWED their BS and it didn't work, for very clear scientific reasons. I'll follow the example of Honk Kong, where they eat well over a pound of meat per person per day while living ober ten years longer and twenty years better than typical American food pyramid sheeps.

Vegetarianism is easy and there are hundreds of millions in the world doing just fine on it nutritionally, India and its cuisine being a good example, and it’s been part of religion and/or lifestyle for millenia, but veganism has always struck me as a recent silly fad with no compelling purpose.
In any case, other than for religious reasons, I don’t understand why people feel the need to be rigid about diet, as in if you eat a certain way 90% of the time but break those rules when they are particularly inconvenient, it’s not like it causes even 10% of whatever harm you are imagining.

All you have is personal anecdote, and your claim to fame is you are a late 60s man working blue collar 40 hours/week with visible abs and running the best sprint times of his life with a poorly functional gut that has now begun to tolerate fruit.
