Oh no! You've hooked me! No way alright. Strength athletes will roll around on the floor laughing at the thought of relying on rice protein. 'Look mum, I've found a way to dissappear!' Sorry, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. I'm 51 and I've been training for over 35 years. If I could train at the level I want to, relying on rice (and I've tried), I would. It's so cheap and versatile it would be deluxe, but bottom line, forget optimum fitness. As extreme as strength orientated activities are, they are a great way of exposing recovery ability, and diet is a major factor in recovery. Try going hard on rice (and I'm not trying to be confrontational, or condesending, just honest), and you'll soon run into trouble, probably eventually in the form of mystery virus's and flu's. When you witness someone really fit and strong, it's pretty awe inspiring, and puts things into perspective (like bad backs from lifting your shopping bags, or knee pains from walking to Mcdonald's... unbelievable!). I'll guarantee, its nothing to do with rice protein, and it's an indicator of awesome health (unless of course drugs are involved). I wholeheartily agree though, if you don't want any animal protein sources, clever rice, grain, nut and legume combinations are deluxe, and a necessity. But talk about putting in a dollar to get back 10 cents!
