Protein and athletes
OK, so what if you work out a lot?
What if you’re an athlete or practice competitive sports?
If you think that you need to eat meat to build up your muscles or excel in sports, think again. There are plenty of professional athletes that thrive on a whole food, plant-based diet.
Check out the websites of these two AMAZING plant-based athletes, Brendan Brazier (Ironman triathlete and endurance runner) and Rich Roll (Ultraman triathlete). These guys are living proof that not only can you survive very well without animal protein, you can actually reach supreme athletic capabilites!
You might need to up your protein intake and supplement with some good, plant-based protein powders, but the main bulk of your protein should be coming from whole foods.
