Jaylen Brown says being vegan for 2 years helped him learn what his body needed to perform at an elite level in the NBA
“In college, I was vegetarian for about a year and a half. Then I thought, let me take it to the next step and go vegan. I was vegan for about two years. I'm open to trying different things and seeing how my body feels. I'm not saying everybody should do one thing. Everybody's body is different. Do what makes you feel right, and your body will tell you. I'm not vegan anymore”
“I've since transitioned my diet to other things. I wanted to bulk up, and I've gained a lot of weight. I'm like 240 pounds right now, and that's what's needed for me to win a championship. I'll probably get back to veganism at some point in my life”
"It was great though, honestly. I lost some weight. I got skinnier, but I was very fast. I was running very fast, but I was able to think very, very clearly. That just shows there's so much processed stuff in our food. Sometimes our body, instead of being able to use our energy to do other things, has to process the negatives and toxins that are embedded into our food. The sugars, the heavy metals, all these different weird ingredients. They are poisoning us, and sometimes our body has to use so much energy just to break the food down that it doesn't have the energy to actually go out and manifest and do things. Sometimes what you eat can be slowing you down”
“That could be the life changing decision, the difference between an idea working and not working. Your eating habits. Discipline is very key. It sounds like something small, but some of the smallest decisions have the biggest results”
