    I always thought about meat, poultry, fish and eggs. And, again, always thought “what do strength champions eat?” Simple Google search show small amount of vegan champions, most of them stamina/speed champions, and some of those turned vegans after 20/30 years of omnivorous diet. And not taking into account their “supplements.” Just thinking out loud.

      Most people eat animal products.

      Also, a good portion of vegans are “healthy hippy” types. Which rarely spills over to strength athletes.

      But there are some vegan strength athletes, so it goes to show it’s possible.

      Not sure what you mean by this tbh.

      Seems like a very forceful attempt to correlate things that have no evidence for relation at all.

        I had some info (meat = strength), got new info (vegan = few champions, mostly speed/endurance). Pointing out that with the small amount of vegan athletes there is, they still make it to the top. But they are not vegans since birth. I did say I was thinking out loud. Apparently that’s a sin for some people.

          The issue is that’s not info, those are assumptions.

          No sin, in thinking out loud. But what you’re saying easily falls apart if you think about it even a little bit.

            Yeah, history is not info. And of course the “no, your are wrong” irrefutable argument.

              Meat = strength is not a fact, or “info”, or history. Also saying vegans are all endurance athletes. That’s an assumption. Both are assumptions.

      That is kind an off logic. Sounds more like an excuse for not taking action than anything else. I bet you can dismantle your arguments on your own in no time of you try.

        Haha, this is such a rich come back. Indeed the logic is so lazy that perhaps even trying to dispel it does a disservice to the person who actually came up with it :)

        DM me when a full vegan (since birth) becomes a champion in any physical activity. I’ll be waiting. “No, you are illogical.” Pretty mature.

      I lift weights and get bulky and know many others who do so as vegan or vegetarian as well without issue.

        Didn’t know about it, first time I hear this. I’m in shock I tell you. ><. I think maybe, the hard part about it, is that you need a wide variety and well balanced diet? I mean like, really doing the math. Because of the amino acids? Maybe that’s why is not so popular?
