To talk to today's guest, you may not guess he's an extremely accomplished mixed martial artist. Modest, thoughtful, and incredibly insightful, Mac Danzig is a true maverick – a warrior poet and animal rights proponent who defies stereotypes and can wax philosophical about anything from human nature to photography, even skateboarding. A 2nd-degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, he came to prominence while winning season six of the Ultimate Fighter and made his mark in the ring as a dominant grappler and proficient striker. In addition to his success in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, he appeared in the revolutionary documentary Forks Over Knives, where he discussed the benefits of a plant-based diet and how it affected his health and his career as an athlete. Today, Mac has his own MMA studio where he passes on what he's learned to a new generation, and we're really happy to have him on! “When they were telling me that I needed a gram and a half of protein per pound of body weight to two grams of protein per pound of body weight, at the same time, they would be telling me that I could only absorb 20 to 30 grams per digestion cycle. Now how long is a digestion cycle? They say it's like three to four hours, maybe five. Well, how many hours in the day do we have for me to get two grams of protein per pound of body weight if I'm walking around at 170 pounds? 170 times two. There's no way I can absorb that.” - Mac Danzig What we discuss in this episode: His childhood and how removing dairy from his diet drastically improved his health The transformative impact working at an animal sanctuary had on him The ways a vegan diet improved his athletic performance His favorite sources of protein Insight into the world of MMA His insights into training for fights His experiences with concussions How he transitioned from MMA to opening his own gym How he approaches the topic of veganism with his students Resources: Mac Danzig gym: Danzig MMA Mac Danzig photography: https://www.flickr.com/photos/california4life/ The Plant-based Playbook IS HERE! Let the Plant-based Games Begin, the first-ever guidebook dedicated to optimizing athletic performance with plant-based fuel. We developed the Playbook in consultation with the IOC's Office of Sustainability to help coaches, dietitians, and athletes understand how to embrace plant-based nutrition. Researched and written by a diverse group of highly credentialed researchers, clinicians, and athletes, the Playbook leverages peer-reviewed science and real-world experience to illuminate the physiological benefits of a plant-based diet. The Playbook also includes robust, field-tested tools and resources for meal planning and other practical implementation techniques.  You can download the Playbook here: https://switch4good.org/plant-based-playbook/ SUPPORT SWITCH4GOOD https://switch4good.org/support-us/ ★☆★ JOIN OUR PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP ★☆★  https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastchat ★☆★ SWITCH4GOOD WEBSITE ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/ ★☆★ ONLINE STORE ★☆★ https://shop.switch4good.org/shop/ ★☆★ FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM ★☆★ https://www.instagram.com/Switch4Good/ ★☆★ LIKE US ON FACEBOOK ★☆★ https://www.facebook.com/Switch4Good/ ★☆★ FOLLOW US ON TWITTER ★☆★ https://mobile.twitter.com/Switch4GoodNFT ★☆★ DOWNLOAD THE ABILLION APP ★☆★ https://app.abillion.com/users/switch4good

News: - Mac Danzig retire - Takanori Gomi vs Isaace Vallie-Flagg set for UFC 172 Tweet of the Day Just posted: "Photo of the Day: Nate Diaz and John Travolta hang together" ( http://t.co/6k0dcJmgSv ) — MiddleEasy (@MiddleEasy) March 4, 2014

Ask and ye shall receive. Today is Durianrider day on the podcast. And he has a message for you:Carb the f$%@ up!Aka Harley Johnstone, “Durianrider” is a self-avowed health vigilante committed to increasing public awareness of the benefits of a high carbohydrate, low-fat whole food plant-based lifestyle. A lifestyle modeled upon Doug Graham's book The 80/10/10 Diet*, or what is more commonly referred to as fruitarian — a dietary protocol based predominantly upon eating copious amounts of fruit. Let's just say it's not uncommon for Harley to proudly devour upwards of 70 bananas a day.In this regard, Harley is not alone. Although still on the fringe in terms of mainstream awareness and popularity, the 80/10/10 program is one that is gaining popularity (check out my podcast interviews with Michael Arnstein and Mac Danzig for more).But what distinguishes Harley from fellow healthy lifestyle advocates is his unique, personal style.Outspoken and unequivocal, Harley doesn't mince words. At times acerbic, and often on the perimeter of completely outlandish, Harley is a lightning rod for controversy — a role he relishes. Proponents of “fad diets” hawking unhealthy and unethical programs or snake oil products get called out. Taken to the mat. And on occasion, name-calling is involved.And don't even get him started on how he feels about the currently über-popular low-carb / no-carb / ketosis-based diets pushing high protein and copious amounts of fat.His fans are passionate. His critics equally so.But make no mistake — behind the larger-than-life personality, Harley is in many ways a regular guy leading a simple and active life, committed to helping people feel as good as he does, primarily via his YouTube channel. A guy frustrated by all the confusing and misleading health, diet and fitness information penetrating the internet, he's like Howard Beale (Peter Finch) in the 1976 movie “Network” screaming, “I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!”Durianrider may not be everyone's cup of tea. I get it. So does he. And he's fine with that. But regardless of any preconceived opinions you may harbor, I implore you to listen with an open mind.His message is powerful. And for the record – I like the guy.I hope you enjoy the show!For some background on the Harley ethos, check out this short video: Why is Durianrider So Aggressive?SHOW NOTES* CrossFit's Dirty Little Secret, by Eric Robertson (via Medium): https://medium.com/p/97bcce70356d* Book: The 80/10/10 Diet* by Douglas Graham* Durianrider Blog: http://durianrider.com/* 30 Bananas a Day Website: http://www.30bananasaday.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Today on the show I sit down with my friend Mac Danzig, a fascinating PlantPowered force in the MMA / UFC world.Before we go any further, throw away any UFC fighter stereotypes that may come to mind. Mac is one of the more intelligent, introspective and out-of-the box thinkers you are likely to meet — a personality and perspective forged from transcending a challenging upbringing to rise to the highest echelons of the UFC, including victory in Season 6 of the Ultimate Fighter and a decorated career that includes twelve consecutive wins in 2006.Accomplishments all achieved on a 100% plant-based diet.I first met Mac a couple years ago and was immediately struck by his contemplative, low key personality. A guy at peace with himself, far more comfortable alone in nature than navigating the spotlight. A guy who really thinks about the authenticity of his actions, his place in the world, how to best father his daughter Nova, and the impact his decisions have on others and the planet at large. So it was fascinating to finally sit down with him and hash it out. Not short on opinions, Mac broke my record in episode length today, exceeding 3 hours and expounding upon everything from his career and diet (of course) to the benefits of meditation, the perils of our education system and sport as art. Yeah, it's a long one. I know. But I am really proud of this interview and essentially guarantee that you will be completely engaged throughout.It's one thing when a triathlete, marathoner or an ultra-runner demonstrates plantpowered prowess. We've seen that. But what about an athlete whose success depends upon brute strength, lightning speed, incredible power and world-class agility? Well that's another thing altogether. Simply put, Mac's success takes all the wind out of the tired argument that you cannot excel athletically on a plant-based diet.Now Mac is taking his game to a whole new level, experimenting with the 80/10/10 Diet – a regimen heralded by Douglas Graham in which 80% of all calories come from carbohydrates, 10% from protein and 10% from fat. Translation? Most of what he eats is fruit — a protocol that stands in direct counterpoint to the high fashion, high fat, low carb craze currently in vogue.How is it working for Mac? You'll have to listen to the whole episode to find out. It might take a few sittings, but I promise it's worth your time investment.I genuinely hope you enjoy the show.Just a reminder that we're now up and running on Soundcloud for those of you that prefer this service.

Mac Danzig met me at the Comedy Store to talk about veganism. He's a UFC fighter and 100% Vegan. It's an odd choice for a fighter. Come listen in on the conversation. He's a really chill guy. Not like the normal vegans who shove their views down your throat so you don't have room to eat burgers.
