  1.  @abberdailmarie4887  Fortunately, dietary cholesterol has little or no impact on blood cholesterol in most people. Just like dietary fat does not increase body fat. That's not how it works.

  2.  @swisstrader  Serena is not vegan. She's a "mostly vegan, but admits she slips" vegan.

  3.  @kyleharbour5118  I've been lifting for decades at different gyms throughout the country and try to stay fairly educated on the nutrition (enough to know it's only complicated if a lifter insists upon it). I've NEVER heard anyone claim that energy comes from protein. Our concern is how to fuel workouts with reduced carbs. The keto thing is the only alternate fuel claims I've even heard of.

  4.  @deadpeni5  And there we have it! The "if it didn't work for you, you must not have done it properly" that we hear so often attached to things like veganism, keto and socialism.

  5.  @micaylapresley  How DARE you!? Don't you read the comments? Every person who has bad results from going vegan "didn't do it right."! :o)

  6.  @deadpeni5  I don't expect your statement to change. It's the type of boilerplate ignorance we've come to expect from the segment of vegans who simply will not accept that not everyone responds to everything in the same way. Whether a vegan diet has merits is completely irrelevant where my statement is concerned, so no need to really speak to that other than the fact that, if you believe it DOES, it goes quite a way toward explaining your inability to understand the socialism analogy. Or are you another one of those people who believes that if we don't lock ourselves inside until Covid-19 goes away that that means we want everyone to die?

  7. I mean, carbs are generally better for fueling workouts, but to be honest I find a lot more benefit regarding energy and focus from intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating than the actual food. I''m not entirely convinced that any increases in energy were attributable to a vegan diet as much as the fact that there was some REALLY garbage food being eaten before, regardless of the animal product content.

  8. The lack of animal protein caused his judgement to go in the tank and he could no longer do even a kipping chin-up. :)

  9. That's okay. They're not athletes either.

  10.  @Sillyshianne123  Only CFers consider them pullups, and that excludes the honest ones. Since they do not rely on you pulling yourself up, the rest of the fitness world does not recognize them as such. Regardless, he did not use a modifier like "kipping" before it, so he wasn't correct.

  11. Thank God no animals die and no habitat is lost in the name of plant agriculture, right?

  12.  @SunamiDevil  It also goes against our history of being omnivores.

  13.  @TheAngryVegan209  Maybe they shudder at the thought of how many billions of animals died - and the amount of habitat that was lost - in the name of plant agriculture.

  14. You mean Dr. Shawn "Bloodwork? I don't need no stinking bloodwork!" Baker?

  15. NOW, let's take two people who actually ARE athletes - whose bodies and workouts have the demands of an athlete and who are currently on omnivore diets that cater to that - and see how things turn out. Sumo wrestlers don't count. And before we hear from the clown car, neither Venus NOR Serena is vegan. Venus switched in 2012 bc of her illness, only appeared in one GS final since then, and has incorporated animals back into her diet. And Serena was always one of the "mostly vegan, but slips up from time to time" vegans. Regardless, the more info, the better, although there are too many variables in measurements to call it good with just one "before" and one "after."

  16. Just like soccer ... and Venezuela. :)

  17.  @christophertan3195  It REQUIRES glucose. And if there is none available from carbs the body will convert protein to fill the demand. Regardless, look around you and tell me how many people's brains are "thriving." :)

  18.  @christophertan3195  I'm guessing you probably want to rephrase pretty much all of that, unless you're saying that everyone is in a state of ketosis before they die, and that the by-products of burning carbs as fuel are not life-threatening if not gotten rid of.

  19. The protein doesn't fuel the workout, but without protein in your diet you're in BIG trouble.
