Plant-Based Protein
One of the biggest questions related to a vegan diet and athletism is how do you get enough of this essential macronutrient? It might be easier than you think, as long as you keep your transition to plant-based foods slow and keep a close eye on your energy-yielding nutrition.
With celebrity athletes switching to vegan diets, the plant-based movement is slowly catching people’s interest. There is a whole array of vegan powerlifters reaching amazing milestones – like Irish strongman Patrik Baboumian, who turned vegan in 2011 and has a personal record of a whopping 360kg Deadlift.
