Anyone on a vegan diet?

Two time world champion adventure racers jacky and mimi went full on raw vegan last year. As you can imagine a 6 day non stop race has serious nutritional requirements.

It will be especially interesting to watch them race this year as they are now one hundred percent raw vegan, hence the name Raw Adventures, which is also the name of their newest project, a raw whole food sports retreats in the Canary Islands.

 

Indeed, their June wedding in Font Romeu, France was entirely raw vegan as they decided to come out of the proverbial closet and introduce all of their family and friends to their raw lifestyle choices. They very kindly invited this SleepMonsters reporter to join in the festivities and beforehand I gleefully painted a picture of a bunch of the worlds best adventure racing athletes in full de-tox mode over the weekend; I merely overlooked that I would be detoxifying as well ! Let’s just say there was a brisk trade in contraband cheese in the parking lot.

 

 

They bonked hard on the last stage of world champs in Ecuador . Got all agro and announced immediate retirement. #justsaying

De-toxing is a muddle headed myth.

I made the choice as a teenager to stop eating meat.   I however ended up at the doctor within a few months and was diagnosed to be anaemic and he told my mother I have to start eating red meat so I was forced to.

 

Once I moved into my own flat, I never cooked myself red meat and once again had to go onto Iron tablets which really mess with my stomach.

 

My problem is that I struggle to absorb iron so I need to eat more iron rich food than the average person.  Iron from meat is a lot easier for the body to absorb than anything else so the only way I stay of the strong (and really expensive) iron tablets is to eat red meat at least twice a week.
