I now know from my own experience, and from other elite athletes I know, that you can be vegetarian – even vegan – and perform at the highest levels of sport. My own gains in trail running speed as well as my body’s growing ability to recover quickly from tough training can only be chalked up to eating vegetarian. Well, that, and hard work.
But, fighting? MMA? Can an elite UFC fighter make it work as a vegan? Enter MAC DANZIG. I was intrigued to see a great write-up about Mac in an issue of MMA Fitness Magazine awhile back, and I never got around to posting about it here. So, click the link, read the article and enjoy! Think you can’t live off plants and be an elite athlete? Think again. And even if you’re not ready to give up meat, you can up your game by incorporating a lot more plant-based nutrition into your eating habits.
