Oh, I LOVE junk food. I just don't allow myself to eat it (much).
I have a bad knee from pre-vegan injuries too.
Another thing to add is recovery times. Top of climb recovery is noticeably faster, and post long multi-day ride recovery is also faster, and fatigue less extreme. It's a win win, plus, I wont get butt cancer (hopefully). My resting heart rate was always low, around 45bpm, it's now more like 40!

I would be in the 10-20 hr bracket if I wasn't constantly injured*. Have done a bunch of ultras and quintuple ironman on vegan diet. Unlike gabes, fucking love junk food tho.
*injuries all knock-ons from a smashed knee many years ago, not due to veganism leaving you weak, pitiful and kittenish.
