Most of us are told one message over and over:
“Protein is everything.”
But Harvey Lewis — fresh off 5 days and nights of nonstop running and healing two broken ribs — has a very different perspective.
In this clip, Harvey explains:
why food marketing shapes how Americans think about protein
why beans, fruits, vegetables, and nutrient-dense foods fuel him better than massive protein intake
how he recovers from 100–200 mile efforts without obsessing over grams
and why so many myths around tofu and plant-based foods simply aren’t based in evidence
This isn’t about pushing a diet.
It’s about understanding what actually works for one of the world’s most resilient ultrarunners — so you can take what’s useful for your own training and healing.
