Summary

BE YOUR BEST. You can be vegan and still perform at the top of your ability―run your fastest, lift your max, cross the finish line first. Combining dietary know-how with exercise physiology and a full workout program, this book details everything the vegan athlete needs to maintain energy and build muscle, including: day-by-day meal plans; protein intake recommendations; the best calorie-rich foods; optimal fitness techniques; delicious meat-free, dairy-free recipes. The Vegan Athlete shows how a diet of natural plant proteins, essential amino acids and carefully balanced vitamins provides more than enough nutrition to fuel a lean, strong body. Thanks to this book, you can follow a full-body program for getting and staying in shape that is truly cruelty-free.

Author Notes

Professional vegan bodybuilder Kenneth G. Williams is living proof that one doesn't need meat or dairy products to attain super-strength and exceptional health. Williams made sports history, becoming the first vegan bodybuilding champion when he took the Third Place Medal at the 2004 Natural Olympia in Las Vegas. When he's not training, Williams speaks as a vegan athlete to audiences around the country about the power of diet, exercise and compassion.
