[quote:Antipodean:MV8yNTI1MDg4XzQzOTc5MjQ3X0ZGMjMyMzg3] I am a Personal Trainer who specializes in Strength Training. My worst performing client is a raw vegan. She trains just as hard as my other clients, similar programs, dedicated etc. She owns a health store so takes all the right supplements, she sleeps well, is still young enough to expect decent gains, however she progresses the slowest. She has been raw vegan for 15 years. She tells me when she was in her 20's she had great health and looked good while eating raw vegan. My response is most people in there 20's have great health and look good. In the last decade she has consistently got fatter (she is of small build, and has what is commonly referred to as a 'skinny fat' build) and she is often sick - she blames this on being exposed to sick people at her shop all the time (she is a germ freak). She came to me 6 months ago to get strong. I am really struggling to make progress with her, I have been PTing for 5 years and have never had anyone progress this slow, even people that train 1x a week and party all weekend are doing better than her. I have only ever trained one vegan. But based on my own experiences the key variable is diet. And from my n=1 study I would have to suggest that a raw vegan diet for LONG TERM use is not suitable for general health, fat loss, or muscle gain. Side note - I love my vegetables, however I just let the animals do all the chewing for me :P [/quote]
