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.
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.
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.
Anyone interested in improving their health should seriously question the merits of eliminating meat, fish and eggs from their diet.
Challenging full body exercise and limiting food portion size for meals will improve your health if that is your desire.
Don’t go with weird diets.

He argues that before you go on someone’s diet plan you should get a current photo of the author and see if you want to look like that.
Vegan is an old Indian word that means “bad hunter”.
I think that certain forms of malnutrition (e.g., those caused by eating bizarre fad diets such as vegan) take years to really become symptomatic. I’ve seen little evidence that people are able to stick with a vegetarian or vegan diet for more than a few years.
Vegetarians always appear to me to have a rather pallid, unhealthy look.
Probably the healthiest looking Vegan I have ever seen is Carrie Underwood. And man is she healthly looking. :)
