It's nice to see someone not claiming to eat 100% perfect all the time. I don't think it's that much healthier to eat perfect; pretty good is probably good enough, and it definitely isn't worth stressing about getting the most out of every calorie.

“So what I run a lot” ... life motto

[@keithremington5081]

Bottom line is No Animals are being harmed in your lifestyle of running and just living. Keep up the realistic life of being plant based and living the endurance life. Its awesome and your a great ambassador. Glad your not afraid to tell folks about beer too. Its plant based so whatever.... looking forward to more videos and keep up the PMA!

[@Damian.Williams]

Animals are harmed on a Vegan diet too my friend... For example studies on rodent deaths during grain and sugarcane harvesting cited approximately 40 mouse deaths per acre of grain. Also don't forget the Wild bird, reptile, amphibian, and freshwater fish deaths...

[@chris5909]

@@Damian.Williams 1. majority of crops grown are fed to livestock 2. grass-fed cows require massive amounts of land relative to industrially raised animals (extermination of predators and other native species) 3. you're appealing to the argument from futility facility eg. because we cant reduce all animal deaths to absolutely zero (vegan) we should therefore purposely breed animals so we can kill and eat them (non-vegan) ... in other words, since we cant reduce car accidents to absolutely zero, we should therefore eliminate all driving laws. lol

As a 31 year old distance runner who has run since age 12, My gf hates me because I cannot gain weight no matter what I eat. And I can eat a lot. I can never get enough to eat. I also haven’t gained a single pound since i was 16 160lbs. Come to think of it. I am hungry, and I just ate a few tortillas with peanut butter.

[@danieltustin4120]

Hi Sage, I recently starting running. Never liked it as a teenager. Now as an adult, I’m really enjoying it. Your videos are very entertaining, helpful, and motivational. 🙏

[@andythames4465]

I like your day of eating videos because you don't try to be perfect. And I like that you don't have recipes. Keep it up Sage!

[@thetraininghubedu]

Loving your vids because you are just real with us. It’s really not about being perfect. So true. I’m a beginner runner and vegan Thanks for the tips and inspiration

[@polako2]

I love this videos Sage keep them coming!!!

[@raketenrambo4860]

It's always nice to see you just being you, sharing your take on things and your reasons rather than preaching / justifying. Some improvements in my diet come simply from being more aware of what I'm putting in my mouth and paying attention to how I feel while / after digesting it. Your beer consumption is a little puzzling to me though :D

[@maxheithmar334]

Dude your diet/mindset is completely opposite of what I expected (pretty contrarian) and I love it

[@orlandofoodphotographer]

Bro thank you so much for this video I have been super hard on myself for the small things like sugar pizza and so on but I'm a beginner runner over just a couple years and watching people with more experience and scientific f**'s makes me feel so much better life is meant to be lived so long as you work hard. 🤘🙏🙌

[@JoeGallaher7]

I went to Pizza Locale and Avery Brewing when I was in Boulder last year purely on your recommendation in earlier vids - both were awesome!! I actually went back multiple times in my 2 week stay. Carb'd up for Silver Rush 50 Run hah!

Carbs, fats and sugar are not the enemy...they’re FUEL!! 💜💜💜 Such a down to earth, realistic, wholesome approach to diet! Thanks, Sage!!

Looks like a really good balance of health and enjoyment (not chaining yourself to a super strict regime and still enjoying “fun” foods like icecream). It’s great that you can intuitive eat and aren’t a slave to tracking calories or macros. I track calories since I worry about overeating if I try full intuitive eating.

@@Repienk clearly you've never swam as a workout or competivly before because swimming does boost your metabolism and swimmers can afford to eat a lot

[@Repienk]

@@natechenry yeah I don't swim "as a workout" I swim club competitively over summer and Highschool during school year. ANY form of cardiovascular exercise can boost ur metabolism, but having a higher metabolism isn't the biggest factor that determines how much someone can eat without gaining weight. If a swim a 3000 yrd hour long practice, the fact that I just burned well over 500 kals would be the reason why I can consume more calories. It takes a while to increase someone's metabolism just like any other hormone you can get blood work for. Idk if you realized this but once you stop moving, your metabolism goes back to its resting state whatever that may be

Sage: any chance you would do a video where you highlight some of your favorite Avery brews of all time. You could do a video tasting and talk about what you like/what memories you might associate with each brew. Awesome video as always bro!

yeah I've done some "beer reviews" for them. Generally the Rumpkin is one of my all time favorites as well as the Maharaja double IPA. They have new stuff all the time though! Great idea!

Seth has a lot of impressive performances at American races under his belt but internationally I don't think he'd dominate.

Please do a vegan chicken nugget taste test! It doesn't need to have a million disclaimers about how its "processed" vegan food, don't worry we know that isn't the main staple of your diet. It would be so fun to watch :) it would be even better if you got into the science behind each type of vegan nugget and which ingredients produce the best kind of texture. I also know there are many studies out there comparing plant based meat with regular meat that would be interesting to explain alongside the video.

[@user-jw6pu5zq5q]

YES that would be so entertaining! A taste test/comparison of various vegan 'meat' substitutes!

[@bellablanco2605]

Yess! I would love this video concept esp bc Sage loves putting a scientific spin on things and there are very few vegan taste test vids out there with that

[@nutmegrufruf6082]

As a person transitioning into a vegan lifestyle, I would actually love this. Finding good meat substitutes is really important for those new to veganism or vegetarianism and can be the difference between someone staying meat - free or not.

I've been following your plans for 2 years now and did BQ plan twice and currently, I'm in the 10th of the advanced one. I probably eat more than you but drink a lot less. 30 yo vegan, loving life here in Melbourne, Australia. 100% best shape of my life that's to the videos you post. I always laugh that I have a youtube coach and always recommend your plans to everyone who ask me for advice. All the best to you and Sandi!

Hi Sage! I'm sure you are already, but please make sure you are getting your 6-monthly dental check ups - a diet high in sugar and acid (from juices) predisposes you to both tooth decay and acid wear of the enamel. Oral health is an important part of whole body health :) Take care!

I didn't know you were vegan! I get you on the whole foods plant-based thing, like yea antioxidant-wise and overall diet quality sounds great (especially for the average person). But when you're trying to get in like 4000 calories a day and all those carbs in, it's just way too much volume/fibre to be reasonable. (Also vegan here + a runner). I just get sick of eating at that point and like need a little something to get those extra calories in. Maybe rationalizing my own B+J's addiction (except my fav is the so delicious cinnamon cookie)
