The list of highly competitive and successful plant fuelled athletes range from, body builders to ultra marathon runners.

In fact, many people believe that you HAVE to be incredibly active to eat this way. This couldn't be further from the truth. I "workout" (most of it is play, like when I play tennis, and a lot of it low intensity) less than 6 hours per week, yet I still thrive on raw foods. I feel great, get to eat tons of food, and still maintain a healthy weight. Swayze You can definitely thrive on raw foods as a competitive athlete.

I have a friend who used to run 20km's a day in less than 1.5 hours just for fun because she had so much energy. She cycles amazing amounts now. Doug Graham is a controversial author/athlete and while he doesn't look healthy to me he sure looks fit. Then there's Grant Campbell who has been a raw vegan for a few years now and runs Ultras, Harley Johnson who defies logic to many but gets good results on his bike. Once you scratch the surface... it's all there. xx you can absolutely be a raw vegan athlete.
