    Great video! I was born and raised vegetarian myself (and now pretty much 100% vegan the last 5 years). You younger runners are the future man! One thing I will always preach is make sure your vitamin B12 levels are good. That is basically the only thing I'd ever worry about as a vegan athlete. I mean, athletes of all diets should monitor things like their B12/Iron/Vitamin D levels in general. I just want to make sure people get a balanced vegan (plant based) diet...which I believe can be a very, very healthy diet for most people and something runners/endurance athletes can really thrive on. Not to mention its generally a lot better for the environment and a more efficient distribution of food/resources. Great work with the videos on this channel too...keep up the awesome content and running!

    Wow, so great video! I really enjoyed seeing so young generation in it! I felt so satisfied when people answered on your question how do they feel about your veganism - insecure, bad, etc. not because I’m bad person or something, but just because they actually understand you r going right thing and they don’t. Entire video just so positive! Thank u!

    Eating a mostly plant based diet plus good meats like wild fish and free range chicken on occasion can be more healthy than eating totally vegan. Dairy is unnecessary but not harmful unless consumed excessively.

  • @filippajak9081
    @filippajak9081 6 років тому +1

    True, social aspects can be tricky. You just need to be chill around other family/friends about why you eat what you do. The future is almost here though with lab grown meat looking to hit the shelves in the near future. So I think that everyone will be able to join in the spirit of veganism one day; that is to eat in a way that doesn't hurt our planet with excessive agriculture and methane gas. But yes the vegan diet does meet all nutritional needs when you do it correctly, that is make sure you include important foods like fruit, veggies, starches, nuts, seeds, legumes, fats, etc. and is great for athleticism.

    Almond milk has 50% more calcium, but it’s fortified, which makes the calcium in milk a legitimate source of calcium. Also, almond milk may be low in calories, but it’s just a water blended with almonds, and vitamins and minerals added to it. It’s not more or less healthy than milk.

    • @EastonTV
      @EastonTV  6 років тому +4

      I would suggest just trying to eat less meat and dairy first. Get almond milk to replace milk and go from there. I think thats the most sustainable for most people.

  • @yuhboris304
    @yuhboris304 5 років тому +2

    I want to go vegan or at least try it for s while. The biggest drawback for me is maintaining the diet and having to chose/make meals. Also no one in my family and none of my friends are vegan so it’s kinda intimidating.

    Cutting out meat will not give you any sort of advantage over the competition. Non processed meats are obviously better than processed, but the idea that meat is some horrible thing has been blown way out of proportion.

      jason stephenson raw liver is the single most nutrient dense food on the entire planet. Fact. Look up vegan malnourishment videos to see what people look like after a couple years of your cult diet. This is coming from an ex vegan , it ruined my teeth. Raw milk and raw meat have changed my life.

    • @tribeard5424
      @tribeard5424 6 років тому +1

      jason stephenson incorrect. You wouldn’t be alive without your ancestors eating meat. Vegetables are a luxury. Haven’t had a vegetable in over a year and am the strongest , skin clearest it’s ever been, blood literally better than when I was a vegan. You might be fine for now but give it a couple years
