Vegan diet endurance athletes Videos

@50sorrowC It is good to see someone that thinks. I get fed up with americans talking about capitalism as it was "from the good side", while communism is "from the bad". I'm not at any side, but I think. In Latin America there were countless dictatorships established by the USA. I'm from Brazil and I know a close person that was tortured, and I hear stories from close people. Capitalism does NOT mean freedom in most of Latin America. If it did better than communism we would have become rich.

the system we live in makes it really hard to switch to "ecological" food. I'm not talking about vegan diet or vegetarian one. Just visit your local superstore and check the eco shelf. Everything there is 2,3,4,5 times more expensive than the normal mass produced products. If you are a poor person that can hardly can purchase standard food supplies you would focus primarily on your own survival regardless of the type of products you eat. Well, that's capitailsm..profit and profit only.

Great interview with an inspirational super fit plant powered athlete. I wonder if Rich has or will lose those running shoes? Since reading Born To Run, I've gone from an overweight, out of shape cancer survivor nearing 50 to being a newbie vegan barefoot ultra marathon runner... a slow one, but out there completely enjoying many long runs in 4MM huaraches from invisible shoes. My main run mate is a goldendoodle who's becoming more vegan each week. Dogs love veggies too!

@FoodForAthletes "non ecological" fruits and veggies from conventional agriculture are a disgrace in our lives. Not just because we eat these toxins, but also because we contaminate ourselves in other ways and destroy our resources and beauties needlessly. Check this video "the permaculture concept" /watch?v=ofKTgmW_FAg and you'll see what I mean. I agree with 50sorrowC, capitalism is a dead end route.

Tell me who is going to hell a so-called murding meat eating christian that believes in jesus or a merciful vegan who has not accepted jesus, well take heart vegan i am a christian vegan for 26 years and yeshua jesus is also VEGAN! GENESIS 1;29 IS GODS ALL TIME DIET! SO FOLLOW YESHUA AND DON'T GET POLLUTED BY GOING TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY! THE ESSENE GOSPEL OF PEACE IS THE TRUE WAY TO SALVATION!

It's such a myth that athletes need to eat meat to perform well, many of the best endurance athletes of all time were vegans of at least vegetarians. I'm a runner and vegan and I believe it has helped me. In fact I am now trying to promote vegan athletics with my blog: veggiefueledrunner.blogspot.com

Wow!!! I just started and am eating buck wheat and quinoa. My friend has been a vegan for a while and am getting advice from him. It is true what you said though. You have to try it. I researched a lot of things that are in meat and dairy products and don't want anything to do with it anymore xaxa.

Actually eating vegan saved me a fortune. Lentils/beans are a fraction of the price of decent quality meat. I can whip up a vegan meal for next to nothing. It can get expensive if you buy bags of prepared pre-washed salads etc, but I never bought those even when I ate meat.

Wow.... This guy motivates me. I just ate some chicken and beef and I feel sick. Everytime I eat meat I want to take a nap but for some reason I thought you needed some meat in the diet. I want to try what this guy does!

@50sorrowC non "ecological" fruits & vegiies are not expensive. Fruits and vegiies should be the foundation in anyone diet's. True, they are good as "ecological" fruits and veggies.

@FoodForAthletes would you say buying fruits and veggies at a foodmaxxx are comparable to buying fruits n veggies at say a "whole foods" store? is it the same?

I fully support this mission. however this guy is obviously very wealthy--i hope to see more way the "average to low income" person can go vegan.

@melreich Plant-based diet is cheaper unless you eat junk. Fruits, veggies, legums, rice, potatoes, etc... All cheap.

@fr3d420" ...a full commitment's what I'm thinking of. You wouldn't get this from any other guy"

@melreich I went vegan when I was broke. The "too expensive" argument is a cop out.

Rock n' Roll! Well done Rich! You are a great advert for Veganism.

Cool. He does eat cooked grains and beans right?

2:49 "Yeah, don't heel strike..."

you know the rules, and so do I

damn! he does not look 40+

@conbhui yes

you = Rich ?

+Planett Nicci There's nothing wrong with that at all. To each their own :)

+jusbeazy28 Yes, I am referring to Harley (Durianrider)

Most of Sean's videos have 0 swearing. Maybe you are referring to Durianrider ?

Tips for helping absorb the book's content? 1) Re-read difficult sections and take written notes of your own. 2) Literally do the recommended exercises and activities, writing things down with pen and paper whenever possible. Hope that helps! When I find a game-changing book like that, I always digest the content more than once.

+Minimal Pro | by Sean Lee thank you! :)

+Christine Salus gotcha! Yeah, the G7X has a selfie screen:)

+Minimal Pro | by Sean Lee thanks...I think I will look more into the G7X, heard good things about that one from other people. (Can you flip the screen towards yourself, so you can see the shot when Vlogging?) The shot where you are sitting with the guys looks so nice.For the Q&A video I used the camera I record my workouts on (an old panasonic lumix), but when I Vlog I usually just record on my IPOD.

The first couple shots (without me) were filmed on my Canon 70D with a Sigma 30mm f/1.4 art lens. It's a really great combo for video with fast auto focus and smooth blurry backgrounds. I use the RODE video mic go for enhanced audio recording. You can see me holding my camera when I'm talking because my buddy recorded the other shots on his camera. I highly recommend the 70D as an entry-level DSLR that's great for video (Casey Neistat uses it), but it all depends on what kind of lens you use with it. Your recent Q&A vids looks really nice and high quality. I thought maybe you already upgraded? A lot of my stuff is still recorded on my Canon G7X just because it's so compact and pocketable and still has great performance.

+AILING 2 ABLE (AILING2ABLE) *we

@TheElectroVibes if you advise to eat how our ancestors ate, then you could try to go and kill some animal by your own hands . and when you kill him, check the feeling in your heart- how do you feel, do you feel you did something good or bad. If you feel good, then nobody' ll be able to convince you that its bad, maybe just watching some movie (lets say "Earthlings"). Thing is people buy meat in the shop and dont bother how it came there, they didn't see the suffering of animals

@TheElectroVibes I actually think we are closer to the Raddish! Some would argue a closer relation to the Collieflower, personally I say Banana, we share after all 50% of DNA with the Banana and that is my favorite fruit.. although I don't think it is my ancestor or that i had one as an ancestor. Truth is there are people with opinions and they do what they can to make others make decisions based on their opinions. Not a good way of living a life in my honest opinion. XD

@iSingLaLaLove Did you eat enough? What is also worth mentioning is that Vegan diet if applied correctly, meaning not over indulge in proteins and fats, have a detoxing effect. You describe the symptoms of such a thing taking place, not know to much about you, some people have more toxins than others and some are adding toxins to their body without knowing it. Perhaps you should give it another go but add more fruit to your diet and remember to eat enough. XD

@TheElectroVibes so if chimpanzees are eating each other, what's wrong then if i catch some man and eat him? There is no such thing as Hindu religion, in India there are many different religions and to give to all of them one word- Hindu religion is the same as to tell "America religion" for all religions in America. So would be interesting to know in which religion people flatten their teeth, never heard of such thing

@MrNemy86 Vegetarian diet is indeed superior, atheism is not related to this at all as the philosophy is of a less caring nature. Atheism appears also to be on the loosing side as more and more people become believers. If people would be interested in finding the truth instead of the latest fad then we would have an enlightenment.

yeah and maybe she/he is taking meds and you know, not telling the doctor you change your diet and maybe the meds toss him/her. when transitioning to vegan, it really needs to be done well or else, youll end up eating vegan chips from supermarkets and what not,,,

ive been a vegan for almost 7 months now. I have lost weight but im still chubby from all the bad food i have had. but i have so much enegry now lol, im the fastest runner out of all my friends and the heaviest because of the muscle that i have lol, idk its weird

Well I'd say vegetarians are half way there. Whatever their reasons are for going vegetarian, they are kind of half assing it if they aren't vegan. Ethical, environmental or health goals are better met if you completely cut animal products out of your life.

What did Rich do before triathlon ? Sure looks like he made alot of money. Good on the guy but to execute the training for such an event as ultra-man takes alot of time and money, especially if you are going to do it plant based.

untrue scientific research proves we were MADE to be vegatarian, flat teeth and all. That is why primates and monkeys are mostly vegetarian (they're the closests to us) it even says it in the bible (for those who follow it)

Actually we do have canines. They just are not as sharp or long, our molers are meant for knashing meat and grinding it down just like dogs do. We're omnivores but were originally designed to be vegetarians.

He is exactly right!!!! You do feel way better and your body feels much better once you go vegan!!! I am 100% vegan going on about 4 months now. Im proud of myself for sticking to it.

Awesome interview! Sounds like he was inspired by Brendan Brazier's book the thrive diet! Another vegan triathlete. Check out thrive in 30, a free video web series for going vegan.

we don't have canine teeth..they r not like a dog. or a cat..come on... they r very short for biting into fruit...nuts.. etc.. the meat for us ..just like the bible says..:D

i think everyone in this planet that is alive are cousins or siblings, we all have DNA, dun dun dun. dont bash on me believers but i think there is no god and nature made us,

i think everyone likes to ignore that our teeth and headshapes are completely different to meat eating animals, and that we have a long digestive system like a herbivore.

lmao you are hilarious, xD at least they changed their diet right? i mean at least not like the standard american diet like burgers and sodas and more sodas,

I wonder how much protein he eats? According to Colin Campbell, rats spontaneously exercise twice as much on a diet with only 5% of calories from protein.

was his book really great? um, i dont really run like 20 miles a day, but whats the majority of it? like 50% food 50% ultra man? or? you know?

Lisa is so gorgeous and awesome. I always like watching her on Bill O'Reilley. He has such a crush on her and is putty in her hands. Go girl!

hmm that's interesting. factory farming is also truly unnatural. as are antibiotics which are in all factory farmed meat, including fish.

thats a complete lie about needing animal foods. Animal foods are packed full of cholestrol, fat, and nowadays, chemicals.

@toppinzr not too much. i mean he does take hemp/rice protein powder...but not more than a tablespoon of each post workout

Uhh, sorry, you need to get your facts straight, more people are moving away from theism, not the opposite.

not true, real herbivores have a much longer digestive system, but we're really close to frugivores ;)

were frugivores were designed to get most of out calories from fruit and the rest from leafy greens

What? No ones going to say it? Fine I'll do it. Wonder if Rich Roll has ever been Rick Roll'd?

madGANJAsmok all cashews are poisonous. They need to be heated to remove the poison. So don't talk shit if you don't know what you're saying. There's no taxonomic difference between this cashew and the one in the supermarket. 

@grokon90 "there has never been a reliabe study done that shows dietary fat contributes to fat gain." Umm I don't need a "study".....I have a mirror & COMMON SENSE... well... it's not so common these days. : /

Cashews always made me feel pretty awful, even when I tried them raw. I guess this explains why there are so many fat raw foodists out there, they're stuffing themselves with nuts and processed stuff.

That specific cashew, off of the cashew fruit is actually poisonous. So don't talk shit if you don't know what your saying. Cashews on the other hand are not poison. Big difference between the 2

its so ridiculous its sad nobody can judge about fruits because nearly everybody eats unripe fruit and thinks they are ripe. Unripe fruit are horrible. yellow bananas are totally unripe

there should be more fruit at the supermarket.. then it would be a lot easier.. it's too hard to stick to when you can only get like what.. 20? and most of them are low in calories. :(

I love how DR always says he's succeeding at riding "drug free" as if riders who aren't are somehow getting an advantage from it. Wouldn't you say it's the opposite Harley?

Hmm, I didn't know that about cashews. Why in the world didn't I know that...??? :P Well, Im googling that, and learning new stuff every day xD Thanks mait ;)

So we're gettin' to you are we? What do you mean by flake? Harley is way beyond veg. Most still eat an un-natural, processed, refined, glutenous, etc, diet.

Inspiring words near the end. Reminds me of getting back from the farmers' market. So much discounted ripe fruit, and wondering where to start. Hehehehehe!

Read the China study by Campbell...UGH! Now you read Anthony Colpo "The Great Cholesterol Con" and his article on Campbell's "The China Study".

where is this? Man, i love rollenia. grows so well in Kapoho (east side of hawaii island). produces in 3 years from seedling. Is this in malay?

educate yourself about the nutritional value of cashew nuts you idiot . google: "cashew nutrition facts and analysis" , you fucking idiot...

From all the nuts I dislike cashews the most,can't bring myself to eat it,now I know why. And those tomatoes! Wow! I bet they were gooood!

Fuck fruit insects are much better for you. Why is no one mentioning insects which were a vital part of our diet ( they are all protein )

just curious, Have you ever networked and talked with fellow famous Raw Vegan super athlete in usa , Mr. TIM VAN ORDEN ?

this guy wont last 10 more years ...the human body cant survive on vegatbles and fruits......

i just bought $100 worth of fruit and it's not even half of that haul you have. fuuuck

sapodilla tastes like a pear dipped in brown sugar with a touch of woody cinnamon.

hey, what's that fruit in the middle looking like cherimoya, sounds like bulimia?

this a guy looks like an emacipated crack addict that has psychotic delusions

What do you consume during long races ?,,Got a 320 km enduro coming up ,,

HAHAHA. "Plant the nut, eat the fruit, keep your digestion cute."

cashew is poison???? i hope you are being ironic.... ????

A couple of days :) That would last me a couple of weeks.

That's great man, keep it up ! This is the Paradise Diet

GO RAW VEGAN EVERYONE (: live life to the fullest (:

I don't think this is actuary his channel. He encourages other ppl to upload his vids as well - I'll send a PM detailing how you could contact him :)

Good day! I'm Sarah.I did -15 lbs past 1 week.More here hddiet.gs\#YcbO

Exactly - fitness and health takes time, also wiseness and education. There is no fast way, just consistency. The healthier and fitter we become, we discover more and more weaknesses and can improve endlessly. This is why life is freckin awesome !No need for any sort of bull testicle juice, instead of paying tons for that crap, just add a bit to the fruit and veggie budget and go organic.
