Eating seven or more portions of fruit and vegetables a day reduces your risk of death at any point in time by 42 percent compared to eating less than one portion, reports a new study. This is the first study to link fruit and vegetable consumption with all-cause, cancer and heart disease deaths in a nationally-representative population, the first to quantify health benefits per-portion, and the first to identify the types of fruit and vegetable with the most benefit.
That knowledge has been well known for a very long time. I put down between 15-20 nutritional cups of veggies/salad/fruit each day, and it only increases during the program.
Big, chunky, chewy veggies of all colours are the only thing that keeps me somewhat full.
Well after moving to a new place and FINALLY having my own garage ive dedicated the last few weeks of my time and money to starting my own personal gym! No more gym fees for me.
itch's favourite fruitarian Durianrider cropped up on commercial media today. Durianrider's girlfriend, Freelee the Banana Girl, was on ch7's Sunrise this morning. I only saw the promos while at the gym, not the full story. Props to these two who appear to be carving themselves a decent commercial profile. Check The Banana Girl's website where you can buy the e-book, Banangear apparel or download the 30 BAD smartphone app.

The retort (I've checked) is on this diet you can eat as much as you like and be lean, therefore there's no calorie-counting, purging, detoxing etc. which is activity undertaken by many on western diets to cut up and is a path toward repeated eating disorder behaviour. They say a vegan diet with predominantly raw fruit and veg - 80% carbs, 10% protein, 10% fat is touted as the ideal, sustainable way to be lean, fit, healthy for life. No need to calorie count, watch what you eat or if you're an athlete go through bulking and dieting cycles.
He's a slight fellow. You'd think a little more heft might give you more pace? Eat more salt lol. Wonder what his total calories are.
It's interesting to note that Carl Williams (Edit: Carl Williams? Carl Lewis, lol) had his most successful year ever as World's Fastest Man as a pure vegan.

He retired voluntarily due to successive concussions, not due to anything pertaining to diet, strength or condition. Especially given he's been strictly vegan for 10 years.
Most UFC careers end somewhat tragically. Silva's leg splits clean in two, I guess his diet of carbohydrate cutting and 'calcium rich' milk and and dairy and high protein foods are completely worthless?
GSP has apparently started to lose his mind a bit. Not enough good fats?
The point is Danzig competed as a vegan. Something meat eaters would probably insist is impossible if he hadn't done it. Then he's an example of when veganism doesn't work. Because he doesn't dominate the sport to this day?
@ Megaman's comment. Perfect.
