I don't buy into that organic horseshit. Eat healthy food, you'll be fine.
Man I gave up soda thinking it would be the hardest thing I'd ever done. It was actually a blurb of advice that Diaz gave to McKenzie about avoiding tap water that led me to distilled water. Three months of drinking that and soda tasted like chemical draino I wouldn't give to a rat I was trying to kill. Amazing how quickly your body starts to reject the garbage you've been feeding it your whole life when you go without for a little while.
I tried going vegan for a few months 1 time and lost about 30 pounds, 30 pounds which I didn't need. Needless to say I started back eating meat.
I have given up soda, but when I do have one it is awesome... completely opposite.
I'm on a gluten free diet, not sure if I could handle a raw vegan diet...
Going gluten free is hard enough as it is, if I wasn't able to eat chicken I'd probably starve.
I was never a Diaz fan due to their press conference and ring attitudes, but this made me respect them a lot. They just seem like the type to be like, "whatever to that sh*t." But they're not. They're cardio machines and super smart eaters. Good for them. I stopped liking GSP after his "grease gate" with BJ. I hope Nick wins. Nate too.
ps - I'm a vegan. It's actually a lot easier than you think. And anyone thinking about being nutrient deficient, I'm 10x more healthy now than before.
Meat does not corner the market on complete essential amino acids. There are 9 our bodies cannot produce and we need to consume them to maintain/build muscle. The rest our body make, no worries. Meat contains all 9, but also saturated fats, increases blood acidity and has no fiber. Plenty of ways to get all 9 amino acids via plant based foods. First complementary protein foods like beans + brown rice, penut butter (I replace high refined sugar jam with bananas) on wheat bread, oatmeal with almond milk, etc. add up to your complete protein. Some are even complete by themselves. hemp seed meal, spirulina and soy.
Eat more Kale!
Vegans on average have the same life expectancy as north koreans, vegetarians live long vegans dont.
Why in the world would eating all the saturated fats and cholesterol in cheese and eggs make a veg live longer?
Because your body gets things it needs in addition to the bad things. Vegans statistically are richer, more health conscious and better educated than the average meat eater yet their life expectancy is much lower, vegetarians live longest. Veganism is not a healthy choice long term, it is not opinion.
I like to think I eat pretty healthy and many of my meals are meatless. BUT, you only live once and bacon-cheeseburgers taste too damn good. I could never go vegetarian, let alone vegan.
You are funny. This man is a vegan.
Dave Scott (born January 4, 1954) is a U.S. triathlete and the first six-time Ironman Triathon World Champion. He won the Ironman Triathlon in Hawaii six times in 1980, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986, and 1987.
Dave Scott came out of 'retirement' in 1994 at age 40 to take second place at the Hawaii Ironman World Championships, very nearly winning for a record-breaking seventh time. In 1996 at age 42, he returned again to place 5th, running the marathon in 2:45.
This guy has one foot in the grave.
