"Athletes can't be vegan!" "Muscle growth needs animal protein!" "You will need supplements anyway and they are all from animal products!"Are you familiar with these myths about sport and veganism? Do you think that there is actually some truth in them?If so, please keep reading, you may find some interesting facts.
If you are a vegan and you want to start seriously play sport, you have probably heard a lot of that.
Same if you are an athlete and you are considering going vegan.
So, what is the truth? Is it possible to be a vegan and still be an athlete with the same possibilities of meat-eater athletes? Is it possible, as an athlete, to go vegan without compromising your athletic performance or muscle growth?
Short answer: YES. IT IS.
There is plenty of reasons why one may want to shift to a vegan diet. Your choice may concern ethics, health, social, environment and many more. On the other hand, there is not a single reason why this should imply sacrifices in your everyday life in terms of building a healthy, strong, efficient and athletic body.
In fact, nowadays, there is a lot of top-level and professional athletes that live on a plant-based diet while achieving incredible results in their discipline.
You can find them in soccer, volley, basket, martial arts, athletics, bodybuilding. I personally know a couple of vegan MMA practitioners to whom, believe me, you would not want to tell their diet is not good for an athlete.
But, truth be told, if you are a vegan athlete, you do have to put some extra care in the way you eat. Protein intake is just the most known point but is not the only one. But after all, any aware athlete, vegan or not, should take good care of what they eat, in order to get the most out of their workouts.
