Can you really not exercise on a vegan diet?

“No sport” is exaggerated. However, globally speaking, the very strong correlation between meat eating and sports life falls: Thus, Americans, Australians, Spaniards, Argentineans, Brazilians, etc. have the world’s largest meat consumption. Sports life plays an enormous role in these peoples, especially in the fishing axes. In the 19th century, meat consumption in the UK was highest. But England is considered to be the motherland not only of football, but of modern sports life. Sports such as Cricket or Hockey have only been able to spread the British through their imperialism and associated cultural influence throughout the world.

In less meat-affinated cultures such as India or the Mohammedan world, sport plays a much less important role: India (1400 million inhabitants) has e.g. only 35 medals in Olympic games. A tiny country like Estonia, with only a million inhabitants, surpasses with its 44 medals the larger India populated by over a thousand times more people!

However, vegans always deny these obvious relationships. In her ideology, they deliberately close the eyes to reality. The fact is that there are few vegans and few vegetarians among the actual sportsmen, i.e. professionals. The vegan propaganda usually turns these facts. One example is football where vegans sometimes claim to be a star like Messi is vegan. This is nothing more than a plate lie:

The only ever vegan footballer that actually feeds in the long term is the German Benedikt Höwedes. But even for specific health reasons, he only started the vegan diet during his career. In principle, he built his body with the usual mixed food during the first two decisive decades of life.

This applies in fact to all alleged “vegans” athletes. The vegan propaganda wants to sell an Arnold Schwarzenegger as a “Veganer”. Apart from the fact that Schwarzenegger himself today, beyond the seventieth year of life, in truth no vegan, but only acts as a marketing figure for vegan ideology, this man has probably eaten in the course of his life the amount of meat that have consumed four average Americans, seven average Germans or eighty (!) average Indians. Its muscle-packed body was not built up by pineapple or red beds, not primarily by soy-isoleates, but by a high-protein, meat-reinforced diet that Blackenegger had to follow just as well as all the other bodybuilders and force athletes to have a chance to create such bodies.

The same is true for all vegan icons from the world of showbiz, sports and history. More than 99% of them are not natural vegans, usually not even vegetarians, but have fed their first two decades of life and usually also far beyond them more or less normal, i.e. also meaty, and are only at some point, often towards the end of their lives or their career, become vegans for marketing reasons or began to follow a plant-reinforced diet for special health reasons (like the mentioned Höwedes).

The vegan propaganda always mentions Armenian Patrik Baboumian as alleged “the strongest man in Germany”, who has staged himself publicly as an alleged vegan and has also written a book about it.

Facts check: Baboumian is neither the “most strong man in Germany” of all time (as the vegan propaganda usually implicitly implied to the uninformed audience in relation to Strongman competitions), nor was he vegan in his young years that are decisive for physical development. He has eaten normal at least in the first two decades of life, probably also with above-average proportions of meaty food, as is the rule for motor sportsmen of any kind. Even after his own statements, he has only been a vegan since 2011. This year we remember.

“The strongest man in Germany” is an annual competition, where in a variety of individual disciplines the strongest muscles of our country are struggling for titles and records. Since this sport is not broadcast on television and there are only a few experts who really know it, misrepresentations and propaganda are of course open to the goal and the Angel. To find out more about the rules of this sport, I refer to the page of the “German Federation of Strength Athletes”:

In fact, Baboumian in a single year (and 2011) won the overall win. Otherwise, he has only been able to win individual sub-disciplines or sub-competitions and set up various temporary records, which are now over-dated. Here is an overview of the winners in this competition since 1994:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St%C3%A4rkster_Mann_Germany

At least Heinz Ollesch, Igor Werner, Andreas Altmann, Raffael Gordzielik and Dennis Kohlruss have brought the title more frequently than Baboumian.

Looking at the winners of the international Strongman winners, Baboumian’s name is missing. Instead we find loud Americans, Icelanders, Scandinavians, Poland and Baltics:

What are the 12,000 calories that the currently strongest man in the world, Brian Shaw, takes day by day, can be found in this video:

So, the sympathetic Shaw protein armor is far from being vegan, but only stuffs meat, cheese and eggs into it to keep the strength it needs for its extreme sport.

So you see: Things are distorted and disfigured until the desired result comes out and Baboumian can figure as a vegan muscle. In fact, Baboumian is simply one of many motor sportsmen who have previously built up their body through protein-rich, meat-reinforced diet and thus have gained success. In contrast to the world’s probably thousands of other professional motorsportsmen, Baboumian has discovered the vegan teaching for himself at the end of his career, after the peak of his success in 2011 and has since been reusing with this medien-reality. Among the German strongmen, however, since this time he has been acting strangely no longer…

So also Baboumian is a mogel vegan, a mere P.R. cook of vegan ideology. This, as mentioned, is more or less the case for all vegan athletes. Such people may be “real” as an athlete and worked hard for their success and of course have a corresponding genetic predisposition for them, but as “Vegans” they are what the Americans call a “fake”. –

In fact, the biological value of the animal protein is significantly higher than that of plant. In addition, there are much higher values and availability of absolutely crucial minerals for sporting life such as e.g. the iron, without which no hemoglobin can be formed, which transports oxygen to the muscle cells. The same applies to numerous other substances, only or, above all, in meat. One of them would be creatine, without which no muscle contraction is possible and which, by the way, also need brains and nerves.

The question of optimal sport nutrition is still controversial today. There are voices like the US american Dr. Shawn Baker, who, even in terms of performance, considers a purely fleshy (karnivore) diet to be the right:

I myself am not a follower of carnivorism. But he has his authority as a kind of antidote to veganism and it is certainly no coincidence that, unlike this, especially among athletes, there is so much interest. Basically, carnivorism is not much more than a specific form of keto nutrition that is also popular among some athletes. So today, especially in the USA, there is a growing number of athletes who rely on such a purely carnivorous diet:

https://www.smh.com.au/national/i-f-ing-love-meat-the-athletes-who-swear-by-the-carnivore-diet-20200604-p54zn7.html

All in all, it can be noted that most athletes feed on a mixed food that can also differ depending on the sport and individual. Especially in motor sports, meat-rich diet is certainly the first choice, while in sports where it is mainly about speed and skill, this is less compelling. If a lot of calories are burned, such as in endurance sports, then in the evening before competitions the intake of larger quantities of calories is necessary. Therefore, the well-known noodles of many sportsmen on such eve (seeds or fresh grains would, however, be healthier suppliers for the required strength). For the basic construction of a stable, strong body, however, meat food and eggs, partly also (raw) milk and their products, are in fact indispensable. I therefore end with the Council of an Englishman from the 19th Jh, how to make gentle boys men:

Meat and eggs and a spanking from time to time.
