It’s that one-hundredth of a second, that millimeter difference that separates Olympic medalists, champions and winners from the rest of the competition. Athletes train and search tirelessly for the winning edge and quite often, it can be found on their plate.

When it comes to sports nutrition, there’s a rapidly growing movement spreading throughout the professional and Olympic sporting worlds of athletes – from speed, strength and endurance – who have given up “old-school” diets consisting of meat and dairy products in favor of plant-powered meal plans and are experiencing significantly improved performances. Some have even referred to their plant-based diet as their secret weapon that they want to conceal from their competitors. After reading “Let The Plant-based Games Begin: Optimizing Athletic Performance With Plant-based Nutrition,” you, too, will know the science-backed secrets eating plants will provide to help you go faster, higher, stronger and longer.

“Let The Plant-based Games Begin” was written in collaboration with the International Olympic Committee to serve as the definitive playbook to help athletes make the transition successfully. A team of doctors, nutritionists and dietitians provide scientific evidence that reassures athletes that they’ll get more than enough protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats to enhance their athletic performance while their research reveals that eating plants will significantly speed up recovery time, reduce inflammation, and help alleviate muscle and joint soreness.

This one-of-a-kind playbook offers detailed accounts from Olympic medal winners and pro athletes who share the many benefits they experienced when they made the switch, with many upping their game and reaching levels they never thought possible. Some of these athletes divulge their winning meal plans and favorite recipes in these pages that you can use to optimize your performance via the biological rocket fuel found only in plants!
