Publisher's Synopsis
A guide for linking plant-based diets with optimal athletic performance, using research and featuring interviews with professional athletes who transitioned from meat to plants.
Evidence shows that a plant-based diet is sufficient for achieving optimal strength, recovery, and performance for athletes, without the need for meat, eggs, or dairy. Studies have demonstrated improved cell oxidation, injury prevention, restorative sleep and effective training on a plant-based diet.
Transitioning to a plant-based diet as an athlete can be challenging, as even small changes in food intake can affect performance. To help individuals navigate this transition and achieve optimal results, Matt Frazier of No Meat Athlete and Robert Cheeke of Vegan Bodybuilding have written a groundbreaking guidebook on how to effectively adopt a plant-based diet.
The Plant-Based Athlete offers readers:

An instant classic and mainstay on health and fitness shelves everywhere, The Plant-Based Athlete is the ultimate invitation for joining the growing community of athletes who use plants to power their workouts and their every day.
