Profound Guide To Vegan Diet for Athletes Craig Peckham MD

The notion that a person can't be strong without eating meat belongs in the same category as "low fat diets are best" and "jogging is the one ideal form of exercise." It's outdated. Performing at one's best as a plant-based athlete is by no means easy, nor would we say every single person should make the switch. But many strength athletes, from Olympic weightlifter Clarence Kennedy to record holding strongman Patrik Baboumian, excel without meat and if it's something you're interested in trying, there's enough data to suggest that it's completely feasible.
