these bean sprouts have like 15lbs of muscle mass between them. first dude is a race car driver? Lmao What a joke some twig on the list for being able to walk a long distance?
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.
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.
the venus williams bit mentions that being vegan helps with the symptoms of some autoimmune disease. it doesn’t say it prevents them (at least not from my reading)
[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
[And the results of this study] suggest that a vegan diet does not seem to be detrimental to endurance and muscle strength in healthy young lean women. In fact, our study showed that submaximal endurance might be better in vegans compared with omnivores. Therefore, these findings contradict the popular belief of the general population. source
Carbs are good but being vegan makes you brittle and weak
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.

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

Ah yeah I didn’t remember that since reading, thanks
I’m hearing excuses. I’m not the original commenter, I’m not making the frail and brittle claim.
You said “its the exception proving the rule”. So yes, you’re absolutely co-signing that claim.
Youre hearing excuses when given a perfectly reasonable explanation? How fucking arrogant can you get?
Very
Umm, yes you are.
Nope. Maybe actually look this time?
So why aren’t they brittle and weak?
peepeepoopoo
Misinformation, you are lying.
