LeBron James Credits Not Eating Pork For Health, Performance

[Schattenlied]

Lol. It's not a myth at all. Read up the studies for yourself or just google it if you think it's a myth. There's a reason why doctors always recommend to limit red meat intake and even go as far as to recommend not eating it. There are literally hundreds of studies showing this, I thought it was common knowledge at this point. It's definitely not a conspiracy

There are plenty of studies that contradict that information - they are easy enough to search for.

If eating pork has made me not LeBron James, then I don't want to be LeBron James...

Here's a good summary with links to studies, anyways I will not argue with you, you will just try to convince yourself that red meat is healthy to get rid of the cognitive dissonance just like smokers do

Not many know it, but the carbon footprint of producing pork meat is also bigger than that of chicken meat. However, beef and lamb meat is the worst from this viewpoint.

isn't that a topic for the sports forum?
if not one we don't need at all?

By this logic anything related to Zuckerberg and Bill Gates should go in the tech forum.
Get it together.

So, you are posting in a topic you are not interested in, only to say you are not interested in it? Thanks for the update guy, now move along..

Every substance both causes and cures cancer. The world has no clue what is healthy, as evidenced by the fact it changes every few years.

You are aware that bacon is pork, right? Pretty much every single person on this planet, perhaps aside from you, thinks bacon is delicious. That includes pretty much all vegans and vegetarians, as well.

Bacon is not pork, there is bacon from cows and other animals as well. doesn't have to be pork lol.
Im no expert but Bacon is meat from the rear side of the animal.

Hmmm... I wonder what the shoulder bacon I can get in-store is then

I have never seen any bacon that isn't pork, in any restaurant, butcher shop, or grocery. If that is a thing, the majority of the world is unaware.

Also, Canada, that's ham, not bacon.

*points at avatar* You cannot insult me.

Hm, I left out "dangerous" in my exclamation.

Yeah sure, I agree that in order to maintain a proper physique so you can run around the very small court you do have to be in shape, but that's absolutely nothing compared to, for example, soccer, or even ice hockey players. Still, I agree you have to be in shape at least.

However, that's not why people do good in the NBA. It's their ability to put the ball through the hoop, whether it's 3 pointers, dunks, or other kinds of plays, and a lot of those take very little athleticism compared to other sports. They take skill absolutely, but athleticism? Just enough.

I agree with that too! thing is, in those kind of sports, there are players who can pull it of just by talent, or by having an extraordinary physique suited for it (in case of basket, be like 2'20 m).
However, a lot of players have to compensate their lack of talent with a training way harder than the others in order to catch up.
I just think that professional sports have become so much physical nowadays.
You have a good example here in the spanish young football divisions, when at early age, the african players are far superior to everyone else thanks to his body.
Once they all reach 17/18, the others can compensate it with skill.

[Hawthorne Wipes]

Best player in the world currently is 1.8 m. His lack of physical size is compensated for by his talent putting it through the hoop from long range, among other things.

Who are you talking about? cos Curry is 1,91
Anyway, its what I say. When you cannot hit triples, you hit the gym.

[Ripster42]

In heels maybe. I stood next to the guy and he's shorter than me(I'm 6'2" in shoes).

You're saying that athletes lie on their roster sheet? No...

[Phookah]

Eat more salads, avocados etc.... until your are full...

We will see if you aren't satisfied with

2 or 3 whole salads

6 little avocados or one big 700 grams one.

2 or 3 carrots sizing 30 centimeters long and 7 centimeters large.

2 kilos of tomatoes.

3 cucumbers.

1 whole Large raw Beet.

When you are full, you are full, your belly doesn't care about the calorie fairy tale shit.

Try something else.

Full=/=Sastified

This might be the most ignorant statement I have ever read regarding sports. Clearly, you have never watched even a single NBA game.

If you drank nothing but water and ate only fried chicken and burgers you'd still get fat.

Calories in/Calories out, you eat enough of anything and you get fat, if you don't eat enough of at least something you will lose weight. If you just eat fried chicken and burgers you will be pretty unhealthy, but you will only gain weight if you eat more calories than you burn.

Pork is one of the worst meats I've eaten so far. Imo, its taste is inferior to lamb, sheep or calf or even chicken (if cooked properly). Quality bacon is okay for breakfast tho. I am not sure about health part, but pork is simply too fatty. Fatty meat is not healthy.

Lamb is pretty fatty too, it's right up there. Also, Lamb is sheep, unless you mean Mutton which is just an older sheep? Either way, it's pretty fatty.

Lamb is younger sheep. There is a difference. Lambs are sheeps younger than 1 year. I am not sure about the terminology here, mutton/sheep or lamb/sheep, it differentiates the age. Yes, lamb is fatty, not as much as a pork. Lamb meat is not up there in healthy meat list due to high level of fat, however.

I'm pretty fit. My secrect is buckets of icecream and smoking.
