Summary
Foreword by Michael Greger， MD， author of the bestselling How Not to Die
A captivating and persuasive scientific exploration of the athletic benefits of a plant-based diet， featuring interviews with stars who've made the switch from meat to plants。
Instead of chocolate milk and grilled chicken， the highest-performing athletes in the world are eating salads， nuts， berries， and whole grains to fuel their bodies。 Research has shown that a plant-based diet offers athletes the greatest possible recovery times， cell oxidation， injury prevention， and restorative sleep， and allows them to train more effectively， with better results。
No longer a fad， the plant-based lifestyle is being adopted by a wide-ranging group of athletes of every age。 The proof it works？ Championship rings， first place trophies， and careers that extend well into the 30s， 40s， and beyond。 In this outstanding guide that is sure to become a touchstone， Matt Frazier， the founder of the popular No Meat Athlete community， and Robert Cheeke， one of the most connected plant-based athletes in the world of strength training， introduce the benefits of the plant-based diet， to help anyone bolster health and gain an edge on the competition。
The Plant-Based Athlete offers powerful proof that the human body doesn’t need meat， eggs， or dairy to be strong， and shows how a consciously calibrated plant-based diet is the secret to attaining physical goals you might have once thought were out of reach。 Here are just a few athletes who have discovered the power of plants:
ALEX MORGAN， who catapulted the US women’s soccer team to a World Cup championship， credited a plant-based diet for her strength and endurance。
NOVAK DJOKOVIC， the world’s number-one ranked men’s tennis player， who outlasted Roger Federer in epic fashion to capture his fifth Wimbledon title， praised his plant-based diet which boosted his energy， stamina， and overall performance。
VENUS WILLIAMS， who turned to plant-based eating to alleviate a chronic condition， and in less than a year went from pain to winning a Wimbledon title and an Olympic Gold Medal， and reclaimed her #1 world ranking。
The Plant-Based Athlete is the definitive guide to adopting a plant-based lifestyle and using its power to help you achieve your goals。 Featuring more than 60 recipes， insights from famous plant-based athletes， and scientific research， it is the ultimate guide for the growing community of vegans and the workouts that power them every day。

So first off， despite my critiques， I'm probably going to buy this book for the recipes in the back （so many faux cheeses！）。 I do think， however， that is has some issues。I've been vegan for over ten years and an athlete for about the last five。 I requested this book because trying to figure out macros makes my eyes cross and gives me a headache。 The authors do a really good job of explaining them， and suggesting sample meal plans for a day based on your specific athletic goals。 With that and the So first off， despite my critiques， I'm probably going to buy this book for the recipes in the back （so many faux cheeses！）。 I do think， however， that is has some issues。I've been vegan for over ten years and an athlete for about the last five。 I requested this book because trying to figure out macros makes my eyes cross and gives me a headache。 The authors do a really good job of explaining them， and suggesting sample meal plans for a day based on your specific athletic goals。 With that and the recipes， I like this book。It seems to me， however， that the authors weren't entirely sure of their audience， and were trying to appeal to everyone at once。 I don't need to be sold on a vegan diet （like athletes who are not plant-based）， or receive encouragement to start working out （like vegans who may be worried about maintaining a fitness regimen without meat）。 As such， most of this book was really boring for me。 The several stories in each chapter about award winning vegan athletes are surely inspiring to someone， but I know it's possible to succeed when just eating plants; I don't need to hear about all these people （again）。 I also hate books that list just series of quotes from different people at the end of the chapter。 I'm hoping in the final version that the quotes will be inserted throughout the book instead of all grouped at the end。 Again， there was good stuff in those quotes for sure， but I don't need them。 I'm not entirely sure who those are for。I used to teach English composition， and a thing I would work with my students on was confidence。 If you end a paragraph with a quote instead of your own words， it undermines your argument。 That's how the end of all these chapters felt to me。 All the stories at the beginning of the chapters also bothered me。 If you spend probably half a book showing example after example that you can be a world class athlete on a vegan diet， what that says to me is that the authors aren't confident enough in themselves to think that that readers would believe them without all this other data。 I know people don't believe in a vegan diet， but surely there didn't need to be that many。I thought making chapter ten the goals chapter， instead of chapter two， was weird。 When I was starting out as an athlete， I needed goals before I needed to know about macros。 I guess this book is more for athletes who aren't vegan yet， so the authors wanted to prove that macros can work。 If it was meant more for vegans who want to start working out， goals should be first and foremost。Again， even with the issues I had with this book， it does have something for everyone。 Just skip the bits that aren't relevant to you， and be sure to try some of the recipes。 You also might be interested in reading Eat Plants， Lift IronEat Plants， Lift Iron， which I enjoyed much more。I was provided an ARC through Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review。 。。。more

This book lit a fire for me - I’m convinced I need a WFPB diet。 I grew up with meat at the center of most meals and have always struggled with trying to move away from that。 This book contains key information， testimonials from athletes， and more。 A must read if you wish you could change your diet and think it’s impossible。 This book will break it down and show you exactly what to do。
