Introduction
Most likely, youre looking to improve your strength, build muscle, increase your endurance, or trim body fat. Optimal nutrition and hormone levels combined with enough sleep and working out consistently are essential to your success.
If you fail to supply your body with the nutrients and calories necessary for your fitness goals, you will never reach your full potential.
At this point of your journey, you probably need more than calories alone you need a balanced diet to guarantee enough energy to cover your basic daily activities before exercise, plus the required nutrients for exercising and to guarantee muscle performance, recovery, and growth.
A plant-based diet offers fewer food options than the average omnivore or even vegetarian has available. This is particularly true when it comes to lean protein sources. Education is the best investment you can make as a vegan athlete, plant-based gym rat, or whatever label fits you.
Choosing the right foods and meals can be challenging, but this book will make it very easy for you.
The same is true for your hormones.
Testosterone is detrimental for optimal health and research shows a link between low testosterone and obesity, increased disease risk, low energy and even premature death.
Healthy testosterone levels are important for both men and women, and will make gaining quality muscle, or trimming body fat easier.
This book will also teach you everything you need to know about proper plant-based nutrition and covers complimentary vegan supplementation for an active lifestyle. Included are easy-to-store, high-protein recipes that may promote the production of testosterone.
The information in this guide isnt limited to the plant-based athlete. Its highly beneficial to anyone who wants to understand basic (plant-based) nutrition principles and cook tasty, healthy whole food recipes that aid optimum health.

The Plant-Based Athlete
Athletes engage in strenuous and regular strength or endurance training with the goal of consistently improving their form and performance over time. Exercise should be followed by a period of recovery, aided by nutrition, to guarantee improvement.
Fueling your muscles on a plant-based diet doesnt have to be hard. A plant-powered athlete is able to get the same nutrients and arguably eats better than an omnivore sportsperson. Kendrick Farris (@kendrickjfarris ), Patrik Baboumian ( @patrikbaboumian ), Jehina Malik ( @ifbbjehinamalik1 ), and Nate Diaz ( @natediaz209 ) are just a few of many famous, vegan athletes that have already proven this to the world.
The plant-based nutrients well discuss in the following pages are an essential part of recovery. If you dont take the necessary steps to rest and recover, your performance level will be hampered, and your progress will be compromised. Make sure to always work out recovered and with optimal energy. This way, your performance in the gym, at work, and at home will not suffer.
Energy and Performance
The bodys preferred source of energy is glucose, which is generally derived from carbohydrates in your diet. Because carbs are easy to break down, they are often touted as a great energy source. Unfortunately, supplying your body with a healthy source of long-term energy is not as simple as binging on carbs. Its important to consume appropriate quantities of the right types of carbohydrates throughout the day.
Simple Carbs vs. Complex Carbs
There are two main categories of carbohydrates: simple and complex. Simple and complex carbohydrates are broken down by the body and then converted into glucose for energy. However, they break down at different rates due to their different chemical structures.
Simple carbs are much easier for the body to break down and convert than complex carbs. This means simple carbs are absorbed into your bloodstream at a faster rate. Complex carbs take longer to break down, so they provide a slower stream of glucose to the body. The delayed glucose uptake of complex carbs provides the body with an energy source that is more long-term and keeps energy levels stable throughout the day. This also helps you feel satiated for longer.
When blood sugar levels spike from the intake of simple carbs, a large amount of insulin is released into the bloodstream. Shortly after a large insulin spike, your blood sugar will often drop quite suddenly. When the blood sugar level is very low, youll most likely experience a crash, or feelings of fatigue. Of course, this is far from ideal if youre on the way to the gym, so a diet rich in complex carbs is preferable.
To measure the effect an ingredient or food will have on blood-sugar levels, you can reference the glycemic index, which assigns ratings of 0 to 100 to carb-rich foods to indicate how much the food will affect a persons glucose level. A rating of 100 is equal to pure glucose. Low glycemic index foods include oatmeal, beans, and legumes, which have a GI score of 55 or less.
