I honestly believe, that the "no meat" concept is a placebo effect.
The fact is, we are stating 'meat' in the most unscientific sense - when talking diets, we should be talking, proteins, carbs & fats.
How you obtain your balance diet has little effect on the outcome.
Meats fall in the protein category, a small amount of meat can contain a lot of protein and vitamins, the only issue with meat is the amount of unsaturated fat, although this can be minimised depending on meat and cooking.
Veg proteins however contain little to no fats, but they only offer a low amount of protein - so you need more veg to compensate.
There is no real benefit to not eating meat, this is why almost every (non-vegetarian) athlete will consume meat as a key ingredient, the fittest athletes in the world from Olympic athletes to boxers will consume meat.
I am not arguing his method does not work, my argument is that his method is NOT a better method, just an alternative.
Also, his spirituality has NOTHING to do with physical fitness and makes it obvious that his dropping meat is no more than a personal placebo making himself happier and that in turn improves his lifestyle.
