Listen on:


BJ Tucker is a long distance runner, health advocate, father of 5 and has been married for 28 years. His journey started 2 1/2 years ago when he was tired of being overweight, tired and not able to walk up a flight of stairs without losing his breath.

So he started eating plants. And running. And eliminating alcohol and grains. Since then he has lost 75 pounds, and become a successful long distance runner with achievements like back-to-back marathons.

BJ recently featured my “10 Steps To Mastering A Plant Based Diet” post on his website. Why was BJ so interested in that? Because BJ is a self-described “plant-powered athlete”. He eats no meat.

So in today's audio podcast, I ask BJ:

Questions:

-How did you lose 75 pounds over the past 2 years?

-Where did alcohol fit into the picture for you?

-How do you manage to eat a plant-based diet and yet go, as Vinnie Tortorich says, “NSNG”? Aren't grains very common on a plant-based diet?

-It's no secret that plant-based diets often contradict what I personally recommend here at BenGreenfieldFitness – namely a high-fat diet combined with avoidance of long, slow cardio. But you eat a plant-based diet and run long distances. Are you concerned about your blood work, hormones or gut, or do you pay attention to that?

-What's your running protocol look like? Do you have any special strategies you want to share, such as run-walk protocols, pacing methods, etc?

-Do you strength train, and if so, what do you do?

-How do you manage 5 kids, a successful marriage and long distance running? Any tips for our audience?

-Does your family also eat a plant-based diet? If so, do your kids ever ask about eating meat?
