So I'd say if you're going to put it simply, all those super athletes and top sports stars who are very driven to be vegan,

they've got the benefit of, well, a lot of resources, top nutritionists and all the knowledge.

So I think a vegan diet can be quite healthy if you supplement carefully and you eat the best quality foods and you cover all of the kind of

the gaps in that diet pretty well. So my problem would be that the average person who gets the

vegan ideology, they won't have all that backup and support and top resources so they can end up

with nutrient deficiencies.

When it came to eating and dieting, I couldn't do it.

I interviewed over a thousand women and I said, what did you do?

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, what did you eat? How'd you do it?

If you want to learn how to lose weight for life through intermittent fasting,
