In this episode, I criticize the use by the Diaz brothers of a raw vegan diet that was likely very low in protein. Citing the research, I argue that this factor was responsible for the highly variable quality of the Diaz brothers' physiques (often poor) over the course of their career. This factor contributed to the Diaz brothers not reaching their maximum potential. The choice to be vegan was mainly ideological but rationalized as a performance decision. Meanwhile, this claimed performance decision--which was strongly at odds with the available evidence--clearly failed.
