Comment on Falling for keto and other anti-carb lies is as unscientific as being a climate denier.

Carbs are good but being vegan makes you brittle and weak
Misinformation, you are lying.
[A] comprehensive meta-analysis reports a significant protective effect of a vegetarian diet versus the incidence and/or mortality from ischemic heart disease (−25%) and incidence from total cancer (−8%). Vegan diet conferred a significant reduced risk (−15%) of incidence from total cancer. source

Been vegan for 12 years and I’m outlifting a friend who isn’t, has a PT, trains in a gym, is taller and heavier and started two years before I did, in one of the main lifts, and I’m on track to match their numbers (by end of year at the earliest) in all other lifts, while training at home and doing everything on my own lol

You mean like these weaklings?

Lol, they’re so rare you have to make a list of vegan athletes. This is a prime example of the exception proving the rule.

It’s a sample size issue. What percentage of people make the effort to get swole? It’s maybe (maybe not) a similar figure to how many vegans bother to get strong. Now what percentage of all people are vegan? Estimates range from 1% to 10%, with 3-5% being probably the most reasonable estimate.
But you’re the one making the claim without backing it up. Vegans can get all the protein they need, even when strength training. And the best part is we do it without the heart disease, cancer risk, and autoimmune diseases.

I’m hearing excuses.

one of them is a lifter. one of them plays pro football. everyone else is endurance, speed, or technical athlete. so while being vegan seems like a reasonable option for people who don’t need mass and strength, it appears that vegans who have those attributes are outliers.

Out of curiosity, what autoimmune diseases are prevented by veganism? I’ve never heard of that before (vegan btw)
