If you’re an athlete, your diet matters as much as your training. Food fuels you. The best equipment, training plans, and coaching won’t matter if your tank is empty—or you’re using the wrong fuel. Whether you’re a casual runner or a competitive cyclist, chances are you’ve experienced a bad workout. More often than not, exercise gone awry can be traced back to a lifestyle choice—lack of sleep, stress, or the wrong food (or simply not enough food).
Our goal here isn’t to write a comprehensive treatise on how to achieve optimal health through plant-based nutrition.
