Virat Kohli has benefited immensely after he gave up animal protein (meat) four months ago and turned vegan. Kohli's healthy diet now includes protein shakes, vegetables and soya. Once an avid foodie who loved his biryani, Kohli has now even given up on eggs and dairy products.

The transformation has been remarkable. Not only is he in great shape and prime fitness physically, the diet also seems to have helped him mentally.

"Kohli started this diet four months back and is feeling stronger as his digestive power has increased. He isn't missing meat, eggs or dairy," according to Times of India.

Kohli's diet has had a calming influence on his personality and temperament - the results of which can be seen on the cricket field - both in his batting and leadership.

Anushka Sharma, the famous actress and Kohli's wife, had also turned vegetarian around the same time as her husband. But in Kohli's case, the change was planned well in advance. "Two years ago when he was on a normal diet he had stated that he would go vegan if given a choice. He is now feeling stronger than before," the report further said.

Dudes got impressive fitness but how can you give up eggs? I guess the protein shakes make up for it.
 
Djokovic made the same mistake but then again cricket isn't as demanding as tennis as far as fitness is concerned.
 
Looks like Kohli is doing the hindu equivalent of joining tableeghi jamaat.

I wonder if he will get criticism from the usual band of posters here.

I have seen many Muslim players get some criticism from posters so just wondering if it will extend to Kohlis embrace of hardline Hindu dietary requirements.

Being vegetarian is a part of Satvik(pure) lifestyle, where hurting animals is avoided.

As far as I know, religion has no such dietary requirements, specially when Brahmin priests from different regions sacrifice animals and consume meat.

What has religion got to do here?

He is a punjabi khatri i believe. Eating meat is perfectly alright for him.

Eating non veg is allowed in hinduism.

Veganism goes beyond religion. Milk is fine to a hindu not to a vegan so i dont find any logic in your comment.

Hinduism has nothing to do with veganism LOL. Veganism is a Western innovation, no Hindu can go without consuming milk based items at the least. Kohli is following the example of Novak Djokovic who is his inspiration in fitness related matters. Some years back as a youngster he even followed that gluten free diet because Djokovic was into that.

His Wimbledon came while staying vegan, and I am yet to hear about him getting back to meat and eggs.

He doesn't eat red meat but he eats fish, confirmed by Vajda.

Finally, Novak's confession about the diet: I am no longer vegan

Now that's a big, big sacrifice for a Punjabi guy .... giving up meat :))

punjabi khatris eat non veg as aaloos. But There is no compulsion. There are many strict veg and many non veg members with in my family as well.
 
Good for him. However, I don't think this will last. It's tough to give up something that you have been eating all your life especially, as some Hindus have said above, is completely okay from his religion's perspective.

Such a small post but so much misinformation here....
 
Nice. More reasons not to like Kohli. Eagerly waiting for his inevitable decline. :trump2
 
Can't understand why Kohli made this bizarre decision, vegan diet ruined his idol Djokovic in 2016-17 and destroyed his chance of catching Federer's GS count. Decline won't be sudden but over a period of time he will have strength/stamina/muscle recovery issues. He has only 6-7 years of cricket left in him, these fads can wait till his career is over. Has Anushka taken control of his life? She went green a while back and maybe influenced this decision.
 
Remember Peter Siddle? That guy became a 120 kph trundler after switching to diet of bananas and going full on vegan, nowhere to be seen now.

This may not be the best decision.
 
And thus began the downfall of Virat Kohli.

If he doesnt decline from now on, its because he is secretly eating animal protein. :srini
 
So giving up meat makes you stronger? Never heard that one before.
 
This thread perfectly explains why there is difference of fitness between pak players and Indian players.

The approach towards diet and lack of basic knowledge.

Is veganism a Western invention really? I thought that Jains were vegan...
 
Tom Brady has been (mostly) vegan for years and is playing QB in one of the most physically demanding sports on the planet into his 40s. I'm afraid the door for meat apologists (myself included in that list) is closing quickly.

All Jains and some sections of Hindus/Sikhs are vegetarians. Dairy products are an essential part of the diet of these people.

It is funny because Jains avoid consuming underground vegetables (onions, potatoes etc) to prevent the entire plant from getting uprooted/killed. But they have no qualms about consuming milk/paneer.

Who else?

The most physically demanding sports are combat sports and almost all of these athletes eat meat. A vegan diet lacks protein and therefore reduces muscle mass. Imo unless you do it for your personal beliefs, a sportsman to be on this diet is a mistake.
 
The ignorance of some people about proteins, vegan diet is quite disturbing in this age of information.
 
To each their own. David Hayer, the boxer, went Vegan. I personally would never go vegan, I do know that killing animals is cruel but it is what it is, I couldn't live without meat. An athlete can definitely benefit on a meat diet, meat isn't bad for you.

Tom Brady eats chicken and other meats during offseason but gives it up otherwise

But that hardly qualifies as him being vegan

that is not true, why do you guys need validation for a religious practice? We should respect Kohli's choice but no need make excuses about it being better for health or making you a better person, religious people always find a way to rationalize their practices.

Beef (buffalo, cow, bull) is consumed heavily in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Goa and North East. Beef isn't illegal all over India, buffalo beef is most common in India and there is opposition to cow beef in some BJP ruled states. Mutton is again very common, in my area it is as famous as chicken but sea food is number one.

Agree. Basic rule of thumb in nutrition is too much or too little of essential foods is never a good idea. This is the type of stuff they teach you in 3rd-4th grade, yet people make up some more mumjo jumbo logic of their own as they age.

Well in haryana people have donations box for gau (cow seva ) even in their shops. People cant even think to touch cows in haryana. They may get killed.

In punjab there is nothing much like cow seva donations but there is big big no to beef. Nobody eats beef in punjab.you might not killed in punjab but wud get a beaiting for sure.

Same case in himachal. Cant even dare to say a word like beef forget killing of a cow..

Up and bihar . Might is right in these states actually.
Then there are many other states which i cant comment on ground reality.

Dude QB is the least physically demanding position (along with kicker). You just stand there and throw the ball lol. You won't see a 40 year old WR ever.

No position in football is not demanding, QB takes several hits every game. Even coming back from one of those hits delivered by a 250lb all muscle DB is hard to come back from, these guys come back over and over and make players. Of course WR, lineman, DBs are more physically demanding.

What religion are you accusing me of defending? Looks like you haven't read any of my posts here previously...

That eating less meat and more veggies is good for you is fact. Countess scientific studies will show you that. Going to the very extreme and eating no meat, diary, oils actually reverses certain cardiac diseases, such is the power of diet. Read Caldwell Esselstyn's experiments on this.

Meat in moderation won't hurt because of the body's ability to recover from the damage, not because meat is good for you. Sounds like you are a heavy meat eater (I am too) and got upset at the suggestion of what you're doing may possibly be wrong (how very religious of you).

You'll find plenty of athletes in most major sports that are vegan, of course they are a small minority because eating meat is part of most cultures. Veggie sources have shown to provide most proteins required for muscle repair and strengthening. Perhaps meat may have a few types not found in veggies, but you have to balance that against the negative consequences of eating meat.
 
Yet to see a world class athlete that started from the beginning as vegan, especially that requires lot of power and or strength.

build themselves up as non vegans and then go over and claim all sorts of benefits. Look at Brady, goes non veg in off season when all the strength and conditioning work is done.

Over time, veganism lowers IQ levels, especially important for people who are thinking of having kids as vegans. The kids will grow up from the outset without or chronically lower levels of some essential components that are only and readily available through dairy and meat based diets. Before someone misreads this, I said veganism lowers IQ levels over time not vegetarians. Perhaps there is a reason why the ancient Indians promoted vegetarianism and not veganidm.

Both killing and eating animal is cruel in my opinion.Also any type of animal industry (leather,eggs ,circus etc )will ALWAYS exploit animals. Being vegan is best

That's not true. I have an american who turned vegetarian for his wife and has been one for 16 years. I know another friend of mine (Indian) who gave up meat and has been vegetarian for about 10 years and has not gone back, while his wife still remains a meat eater. So you can do it and I have seen live examples.
 
Going vegan is the inferior version of fasting. Veganism is healthy but not the healthiest diet. I'm no scientist but I am sure that if you fast twice or 3 times a week for months, you will have the health of a vegan who's been doing his thing for years. I think Kohli's diet has to do more with religion than sports for him. But who knows!

Yeah you are right.i have read somewhere like this that Mahatma gandhi itself gave a thought to adopt vegan diet but his body cud not sustain himself to that diet so he opted to vegatarianism as usual.most of the indians are vegetarians ,not vegans. I am yet to meet a vegan but have met mostly vegetarian people all around

Veganism is mainly a diet formed in the West and is fairly new. Most vegans tend to be aerobic athletes. Runners, swimmers, cyclists, etc. Lots of stamina. Is Kohli preparing to hit a 300 against the Windies or what?

I have an enormous amount of respect for vegans, but I don't believe in it for myself. If I eat meat, I do it gladly, I am certainly not an apologist so I find that a strange to term those who don't jump on the veggie bandwagon.
 
Most people are turning vegan because of ethical and moral reasons NOT religion or health.They just say health so as not to sound 'holier than thou'
 
"Never Claimed To Be Vegan, I'm Vegetarian," Says Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli took to Twitter to inform fans that he never claimed to be a vegan, stressing that he has always maintained that he was a vegetarian.



India skipper Virat Kohli took to Twitter to inform people that he had never claimed to be a vegan, stressing that he has always maintained that he was a vegetarian. Kohli's response comes after he, during a question-and-answer session, said that he consumes egg white, among other things, in his diet. "I never claimed to be vegan. Always maintained I'm vegetarian. Take a deep breath and eat your Veggies (if you want)," Kohli tweeted.

I never claimed to be vegan. Always maintained I'm vegetarian. Take a deep breath and eat your Veggies (if you want
— Virat Kohli


Kohli answered a lot of interesting questions on Saturday during the session, ranging from his diet to quarantine routine to his bond with former India skipper MS Dhoni.

A fan asked the Indian skipper about his routine during quarantine to which Kohli replied: "Train once a day. Spend time with family. Pretty normal."

Given the kind of high fitness standards, Kohli has set for himself and others, it was only normal that many fans, who idolise him, are intrigued about what he eats.

He was asked about his diet during the session and he revealed that it mainly comprises "lots of vegetables, some eggs, 2 cups of coffee, dal, quinoa, lots of spinach, love dosa too". In the end, he also highlighted that it is important to make sure that whatever he consumes is in "controlled quantities".

In September 2019, Kohli had praised a documentary which celebrates plant-based eating and added that he never felt better in his life since he turned vegetarian.

"Saw Game Changers on Netflix. Being a vegetarian athlete has made me realise what I have believed all these years regarding diet was a myth. What an amazing documentary and yes I've never felt better in my life after I turned vegetarian," Kohli had tweeted, echoing the sentiments of his wife Anushka Sharma, who had also praised the same documentary.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1790759/

On average, vegetarians had a higher childhood IQ score than non-vegetarians. According to sex, the mean (SD) childhood IQ score of vegetarians compared with non-vegetarians was 106.1 (14.7) and 100.6 (15.2) for men and 104.0 (14.1) and 99.0 (14.7) for women, differences of 5.5 and 5.0 points (P<0.001).

What is already known on this topic
Vegetarianism may be viewed by those of higher intelligence as a healthier option than consuming meat

What this study adds
Higher scores for IQ in childhood are associated with an increased likelihood of vegetarianism in adulthood

Watch the netflix show "game changers". It's an eye opener for many who think meat is real deal. Top athletes around world including Kohli have raised their performance to supreme levels by giving up animal proteins.

It features Patrick the world's strongest man, Lewis Hamilton, kohli and lot more top athletes

One amazing fact by a study is Roman gladiators were not meat eaters and had a plant based diet. Their bone and muscle density was higher.

Benefits of plant protein are low cholesterol, increased flow of blood and oxygen, reduced heart attacks, virility etc..

So there is nothing to joke about giving up animal proteins. In fact you are foolish yourself by not giving up.

Like who?

As for Gladiators, they were mostly slaves, meat was a luxary asset only for a few in those times. Besides they werent the greatest at combat in history.

Meat has been eaten by humans since day 1 and will continue to the very end. It has huge benefits. Its not meat which is dangerous, its carbs which a lot of vegans eat in too much quantity.
 
It's silly to believe either meat eating or vegetarianism favourably or adversely affects the level of IQ in people.

Would rather question the IQ of people who make such statements tbh.

Again, the Gladiators were slaves(mostly). They ate what was given to them, which was mainly barley, high carbs. You seem to beleive they were great strong athletes, like Russel Crowe in the movie, they were not. Almost all were fat, overweight and lacked real fitness, partly due to their diet. They did eat meat but this was usually only as their last meal, the night before their fight.

If animals are not supposed to be eaten then why are they made with meat?
