Wade Lightheart:植物性饮食并非无法提供足够的氨基酸来支持肌肉生长,关键在于理解并优化自身的消化系统功能。健康的消化系统能够有效地将蛋白质转化为可利用的氨基酸,而这需要酶、盐酸和蛋白水解益生菌的共同作用。许多人认为植物性饮食无法提供所有必需氨基酸,这是一个误区。事实上,几乎所有植物都含有所有九种必需氨基酸。过去,由于植物性饮食运动员数量较少,导致科学研究和文化偏见,从而错误地认为植物性饮食无法满足运动员的需求。然而,随着技术的进步和研究的增多,越来越多的运动员开始选择植物性饮食,并取得了成功。关键在于制定合适的策略,摄入足够的蛋白质以获得足够的氨基酸。 22年前,我通过植物性饮食赢得健美冠军,这并非因为道德或伦理原因,而是因为当时很少有人尝试。我的成功也源于我从内而外地构建身体,而非仅仅关注外在。我曾经因为长期严格节食导致新陈代谢崩溃和消化系统紊乱,最终增重42磅,这让我深刻体会到暴食的痛苦和难以控制。为了修复消化系统,我尝试了两年的纯素食生食饮食,期间蛋白质摄入量大幅减少,但由于消化能力的提升,我仍然能够维持肌肉生长。最终,我又一次赢得健美比赛,证明了纯素食生食饮食的可行性。 选择饮食方式应该基于个体基因差异,并非所有饮食方式都适合所有人。例如,我的商业伙伴适合生酮饮食,而我适合植物性饮食。重要的是找到适合自己的饮食策略,并根据自身情况调整宏量营养素的摄入。基因限制是存在的,个体在运动方面所能达到的成就存在上限,我们应该尽力而为,但不要过度追求不切实际的目标,因为这会带来痛苦和难以维持的结果。

Have you heard the common belief that plant-based diets don’t supply enough amino acids for building muscle? That misconception may no longer be true! 

In this Fitness Friday episode, I chat with Wade Lightheart, a former professional bodybuilder, and a biohacking enthusiast who defied his genetic limitations to build a champion's physique. He shares his incredible journey of transforming his body and mindset through plant-based nutrition. We discuss his experiences with various diets, the importance of understanding your unique genetic makeup, the science behind plant-based nutrition for athletes, and how to optimize your diet based on your individual needs.

  • A bodybuilding championship on a plant-based diet 22 years ago

  • The role of gut bacteria in nutrient absorption 

  • Wade's experimentation with a 100% raw food diet
