Although the image of veganism is slowly changing, when people think of the word 'vegan', many still associate the lifestyle with: extreme, unhealthy, unnatural or even weak.
Vegan ultra-athlete, Rich Roll shatters those impressions. The 51-year-old is supremely fit, a best-selling author and an example that it's not too late to seek change in your life.
After a decade of alcohol and substance abuse, and then another decade of working himself into the ground as a lawyer, at 40-years-old, Roll was overweight and facing a life crisis.
"I was somebody who grew up with a lot of promise in my life. When I graduated high school I had fantastic grades and I was a really great swimmer," Roll told The Huffington Post Australia.

I tried Vegan when I lived in Hawai'i....tried All Raw...didn't work so well. Got a bit emaciated. . I like the Paleo principles too...so confusing. When asked I say i'm PaleoVegan~ That gets some surprised responses. Anyhoo...this guy runs his ass off and has different metabolism and nutritional requirements ...find your own balance...Just Eat Real Food and Drink and you'll get there. OooRah~

Scott Jurek (arguably one of the greatest ultra runners in recent history) is a vegan as well. I think he eats around 6000 calories a day while training. I can't imagine eating that much food without including any animal products. That amount of eating alone would take a ton of discipline, not to mention the discipline needed to log those kind of miles.
