Prince Fielder is a vegan.
I was a lacto-ovo-vegetarian until the 90’s. I did resistance lifting, swimming and running 20 miles per week. I worked full time and went to school full time until 1985. My labs and vitals were just fine. As long as you calculate your MDR of protein (grams per Kg), you’ll do ok unless there are confounding variables in the mix.
works better with steroid shots, I’d think.
Many bodybuilders are vegetarians.
There’s a lot of protein in plant material. A person won’t be lacking for protein.
100% committed vegan , unless you count the side of beef he eats every day.
FWIW, when the Sikhs gave up on pacifism and decided to fight back against Islamic agression, their leaders instructed them to eat meat so they would grow strong. Important in an era when combat was hand to hand.
Humans are designed to eat meat.
Gimme sum meat!!!
My food is vegan, not me.
... the more he does that, the tireder he's gonna get...
(Pardon my ignorance, but who is that?)
No. Male athletes need meat. After lifting and practice, we would eat and drink like Vikings. On Saturdays, we did battle. What happened to America?
Coming out of a downtown cafe this evening a few minutes after 6, I passed a man holding a mobile phone and asking someone on the other end: “Do you have on your menu a macaroni and cheese dish?
My friend that was approaching appearing anorexic got some help and decided she could “handle’ being a vegan, not against eating meat, just in her state of not thinking clearly she equated vegan with still not really eating. Later she wanted to start running again and I suggested maybe a little lean meat would help with endurance, muscle, etc. So now she eats turkey, chicken, fish. But has changed her obsession from food to running.
I just think everything in moderation is best. And sometimes more then moderation is good!
The vegan diet is extremely dangerous and can lead to a sickly shortened life.
“Theres a lot of protein in plant material. A person wont be lacking for protein.”
Sure, but you have to consume a lot of plants, and the proper variety, to get enough protein. By contrast, just a bit of meat a day will fulfill most of your needs.
There’s a reason that herbivores spends all day eating and predators can just do what they need to in order to score a meal, then laze around in the sun the rest of the day.
I’ve never heard of a vegitarian body builder. Lots of them I knew did eat only fish and birds though.
Dave Draper I believe.
