“To be efficient, you have to eat meat”, “The vegans are all deficient, how do you want to take muscle?
The clichés have a hard life, especially when you go to sport and veganism. Today, we dismantle this! ☄️
1️⃣: "But where do you find your proteins?"
No Michel, proteins are not just in your steak! There are absolutely everywhere: soy, templeh, oilseeds, legumes, cereals ... in short, lots of possibilities!
2️⃣: "With a vegan diet, you will have no energy so you will be zero performance."
Here it’s weird, more and more high -level athletes become vegan! Venus and Serena Williams, Lewis Hamilton, Novak Djokovic ... they don't seem to lack energy, if? Many people who have transitioned to an entirely vegan diet have noted a big renewed energy! 🤸
3️⃣: "You need meat to grow your muscles!"
Vegetable proteins are just as effective as animal proteins. As long as you combine your sources to have the most complete amino acid profile as possible, it's all good, no need to put on two wild boars like Obelix! 💪
4️⃣: “You will lack calcium without milk”
Calcium, we do not find that in dairy products! It is particularly present in soybeans and its derivatives, beans, spinach, broccoli, almonds, chickpeas ... The list is very, very very long. 🤯
5️⃣: "You necessarily have deficiencies, you will not take muscles"
Veganism and vegetarianism are not synonymous with deficiencies! Like an omnivorous diet, it is important to have its rates checked regularly, but nature is well done: we find all the nutrients and vitamins, minerals and trace elements necessary for life in plants! The only exception remains vitamin B12, but we'll talk about it later. 😉
Conclusion:
Sports practice is entirely compatible with a vegetable diet. Your performance will only be accrued! ✅
