You can’t imagine how many of my friends and colleagues have told me they could never be on a vegan diet, can’t eat any better or can’t take running (or any other sports) more seriously because they are always traveling. I disagree with them all the time. I also travel a lot and I don’t find it an excuse. With a little bit more planning and creativity you will find it surprisingly easy to eat healthy (meaning vegan mostly non processed foods for me personally).
This guy has planning nailed!
I love excuses! I can shoot a hole in every single, freakin’ one of them.
Although we’re not vegan, or even strictly vegetarian, we do eat vegetarian 6 days out of 7 (approx.) and I use a lot of vegan, plant-based performance products (Vega being my favorite!). I still need to blog about the time I met Brendan Brazier and all the great info I learned from him. Great inspiration to those out there who wonder if they can be vegan endurance athletes.
I’m not on a mission to make people vegan, or even trying to say that is the way everyone ought to be. My personal choice to boycott products that are sourced is because I want to be able to say “nothing suffered so I can live…”
That aside living a Vegan lifestyle is a daily challenge. I do feel a lot healthier on the diet I eat and it does not seem to affect my sports performance. Although having enough protein in my diet is a constant pressure. Getting carbs and veggies in my diet is easy. I am going to need to shift from weight loss to building muscle bulk soon as my shoulders and upper body is a little skinning for my liking…
