Turner Vegan Diet and Athletes G etting your body in shape requires figuring out the kind of diet you can hold indefinitely. When you add the requirement of achieving athletic results on a vegan diet, youve entered a whole new paradigm of eating that comes down to having a scientifically based and competitive diet that lets you achieve your inner potential to the fullest. Veganism. Veganism.

You see it all over the place, and lots and lots of people like to talk about it, which, of course, leads to a completely reliable source of information ha! Wouldnt that be great? But, as humanity kicks in, you start to realize that a lot of these sources are completely untrustworthy. Now, as more and more people talk about it and more and more opinions get thrown around, mixed in with some fallacies and judgments, combined with some paranoia, and you get yourself a nice, tasty Stew of Ignorance with just a dabble of truth at the bottom, but you cant even see it because of all the stuff floating around on top of it. Dont drink the Stew of Ignorance! Instead, look for real sources who are on the side of the facts (thats me). Through the new chapters, Ill be taking various things out of the Stew of Ignorance until we get to the root of the matter. The first ingredient that mucks up the Stew of Ignorance is myths. Myths, myths, myths.

Theres about a bazillion of them associated with veganism, but lets knock off each one, one at a time, good and bad, and give you a real picture of what veganism is actually about. Pour out that Stew of Ignorance! Myth Number 1: The biggest one is that veganism cannot actually sustain you. Youve probably heard this argument before, maybe even toted with a we arent rabbits, you know. Funny? Yes. But also completely untrue. Now, there is some merit to this argument, and here it is: if you dont do it right, cutting out meat and dairy products can lead to some deficiencies (like vitamin B, calcium deficiencies, etc.).

Heres the thing it all boils down to: if you dont plan, no diet will really work. Before starting such a diet, make sure to be knowledgeable about the potential drawbacks and plan for them, thus destroying Myth Number 1. Myth Number 2: Veganism makes you healthier than normal diets! Its the exact opposite of Myth Number 1, and its also just well, its just not entirely correct. Yes, various studies have shown that people who are vegans tend to have lower rates of heart disease and cancers and actually just feel better in general. On face value, hooray! Veganism fixes everything! The truth is a bit more complicated: most people who are vegans also practice very healthy lifestyles and, once you remove the figures about meat-eaters who skew the data with terrible health (cigarette smokers, overeaters, etc.), theres about the same low rate between vegans and non-vegans. So, yes, if you are a healthy person and you take care of yourself, you will be better off both in the short and long term.

Myth Number 3: Veganism leads to protein deficiencies. Essential amino acids, which, you guessed it, are essential, serve as the building blocks that make up protein. The body cant make them all, so you have to eat them. Yes, many plant proteins have a pretty low number of essential amino acids (which is protein, basically), which would be terrible if you only ate these foods. However, this can be easily bypassed through the use of other plant-based proteins, like rice and beans, nuts, seeds, legumes, etc. In other words, make sure youre not just having one kind of thing and watch what you eat, and you should have no problems with protein deficiencies.

There are a lot of myths about not veganism making people tired, weak, etc., but it all is this same thing: combine foods to properly dodge this. Well be including some meal plans at the end. Myth Number 4: You cant build muscle on a vegan diet. In reality, the correct factual statement is that you absolutely can gain muscle on a vegan diet, but you have to put more effort into it. Your average person needs 0.4 to 0.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight for general health, but if youre trying to put on muscle, think closer to .8 to 1 gram per pound per day. Can you get that from a vegan diet? Sure, but you are going to have to eat a lot of legumes, nuts, seeds, and might even want to throw in a vegan protein supplement for good measure.

Myth Number 5: You will always lose weight on a vegan diet. Not true, because theres a fundamental formula: unless you expend more calories than you eat, you will not lose weight. The difference here is that with a lot of diets, its very, very easy to rack up calories. In a vegan diet, many foods are quite low in calories, so you have to eat an awful lot to make up for the calorie density difference. Thats why most people when they start vegan diets, end up losing weight: a bunch of legumes the size of a slice of cheesecake is going to have an awful lot less calories (and, of course, thats a pretty big dramatization, but you get my point). What is the vegan diet? A vegan diet is a stricter form of the vegetarian diet that mandates eating only non-animal products.

While vegetarians may afford themselves some wiggle room to eat something non-vegetarian once in a while, vegans typically dont use any products that contain any ingredients originating from or tested on animals. A vegan will typically choose this diet because of health, ethical, or environmental reasons. If the person had health problems because of a diet rich in animal foodstuffs or opposes the unethical treatment of animals in the food industry or considers human exploitation of the environment over the top, then the vegan diet is the most appropriate solution.
