The scientific evidence overwhelmingly shows that a plant-based diet is one of the most effective ways to improve both long-term health and to see immediate results in terms of energy, recovery and performance. But how do you ensure that you’re maximising your gains – where do you start?
In Plant-Based Gains, registered sports nutritionist TJ Waterfall uses cutting-edge research and his experience of working with world-class plant-based athletes – ranging from Premier League and international footballers, through Premiership Rugby players, track & field athletes and endurance runners, to competitive weightlifters, boxers and swimmers – to explain the numerous health benefits of a well-planned plant-based diet.
With simple but comprehensive practical guidance – from tweaking your nutrition timing and ensuring you consume enough calories, through maximising muscle protein synthesis and improving recovery times, to reducing inflammation and promoting career longevity – TJ shows why traditional 'diets’ simply don’t work and gives you the tools you need to make sure you’re enhancing your nutrition. Myth-busting the key nutrients and what your body needs them for, and with a selection of 30 easy recipes included, TJ shows you just how simple it is to incorporate them into your diet and boost your fitness.
Optimising your plant-based diet is about having the knowledge – and confidence – that you’re doing it right, because for elite sportspeople the smallest of margins make the difference between winning and losing. This book shows how a plant-based diet is the competitive edge you need.
