Reply With QuoteIt's a normal documentary. Schwarzenegger is not vegan, plenty of doctors called for expert opinion are not vegan.
Documentary shows that plants have protein, that for an athlete that eats 1g of protein per lbs of bodyweight, muscle protein synthesis (short-term) is maximized too (given there's enough leucine, but obviously for a 200lbs athlete, a 50g protein meal will have enough leucine), long term gains obviously there too, diet works too.
For example, I've eaten 250g of raw red lentils today (60g of protein from that, +meat in the lentil stew), but checking the MPS requirements, 125g of raw red lentils alone has enough leucine to produce maximal MPS.
I would have preferred more vegan athletes in the documentary.
Although I never understood why is optimal eating necessary?
If endothelial function decreases moments after a fatty/meaty meal, wouldn't that push my body to make necessary adaptations with endothelial function compromised? Yeah, I wouldn't go to a competition eating a bunch of fatty meat and fucking up my blood flow but for training it seems fine.
The boner and the cloudy plasma tests are just simple demonstrations. Nothing to infer from that other than motivate new research.
What exactly is the truth, that a well planned vegan diet will leave you frail and dying? People are being too dramatic over this documentary.Originally Posted by Yngvi
It's a simple documentary, not really a good one, will be forgotten in a couple of years.
Damn, I went to see the thread with that guy from the newest podcast and ended up here.
