Critiquing Vegan Protagonists and Optimizing Body Composition

Uncover why popular influencers promote questionable dietary advice and learn the master key—combining resistance training with precise macronutrient ratios—to effectively maximize insulin sensitivity and achieve sustained energy.

Short Summary

  • The endorsement of veganism by figures like Arnold Schwarzenegger lacks credibility when compared to their own bodybuilding foundations based on meat and eggs.
  • Human physiology proves the stomach is optimized for high acid digestion of protein, which contrasts sharply with vegan dietary staples.
  • Achieve superior health and longevity by systematically reducing carbohydrates, increasing protein intake significantly, and engaging in muscle-building weight training.

This discussion dissects inaccuracies surrounding restrictive plant-based diets, using personal accounts and physiological evidence to contrast common marketing claims with effective human nutrition strategies for older adults seeking fat loss and improved energy.

I was married to a vegan for 20 years. During that time I saw my weight go from 180 to 256 pounds. Every year I would gain a few pounds eating nothing but veggies, veggie shakes, pasta, potatoes, rice, bread, and tortillas. After my divorce at 70, my doctor told me my health was so bad I probably wouldn't live to see 74. I had severe acid reflux, very high BP, and was prediabetic. Additionally, I had sleep apnea, autoimmune rashes on both legs, and I was unable to lift my arms above my head. I went keto in 2019 and then carnivore in 2022. Today I'm 76. My weight is 175, I'm no longer prediabetic, and all my other health issues are gone. - Just my 2 cents.

Arnold has sold his soul to the highest bidder.

Destroyed his legacy with 2 things: "Screw your freedom" during covid Shilling for vegan BS, he knows the truth. I was vegetarian for 2 years, and now have been carnivore for 2 years. No "expert" can tell me not to believe my own eyes and how good I feel while eating fatty beef, salt, and water.

Arnold built a Mr Olympia physique and won that contest repeatedly by eating beef, chicken, tuna and eggs, but suggests to us now to abandon that dietary style. So, “screw your freedom” and eat the pea protein and the bugs and worms while you’re at it.

Actually, I didn't think much of him after the house maid fiasco, tbh. His comments in 2020 erased him from getting any of my attention or view time.

Arnold sold his soul a long time ago to a special club. You know what I mean.

I have Crohn’s. I tried almost every diet, including vegan/vegetarian. They didn’t work and often made me feel worse. Then I tried carnivore and felt much better and gained a lot of the weight back that I had lost.

Arnold is an actor. He’ll say whatever lines he’s paid to say. The thing is…who’s paying him to say that?

Didn't Michael Jordan eat a steak every gameday, and this fact was hidden from us for decades. Instead they put Michael Jordan's picture on the cover of cereal boxes. This year was the first time I started hearing that Jordan was eating steaks to fuel his basketball success.
