Yep. That's what he said. For the last 12 weeks if I'm remembering right. He said that he feels amazing on it. He looks incredibly fit. We'll see how things go this weekend and into Kona. Looking forward to seeing how that goes.
I hope his blood numbers stay on track with this diet switch and he stays up on Iron, HCT etc. To me if feels like messing around with something that may not need to be changed, but thats from 180K away from Tremblant from the peanut gallery (I really should go over to watch/cheer on Sunday).
This, I hope he’s checking his numbers.

The problem is that you can feel really good on this type of diet for a while losing weight and getting leaner, but then if the blood numbers go off track its not something that gets fixed in 2 weeks or a month (in general). It can be easy to "feel better, run faster, climb faster" until suddenly you're lean and weak because blood chemistry went the wrong way. I hope he stays on track with this.
As for tomorrow, good luck to Lionel!
Thomas Hellriegel changed his diet in the year before his Kona win. Not vegan but very clean and low in satured fat etc. He became very lean.
Obviously it paid off for Kona. But he later said that he was on the edge and Kona came at the right time. Afterwards power etc. started to drop.
However, I do believe that one can eat vegan long term and be healthy and powerful. Haven't tried it myself but some people have. But you need to know your stuff and pay attention.
