Yes, please.<br><br>And that&#8217;s why in my new book, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/book.nomeatathlete.com\">The Plant-Based Athlete<\/a><\/em>, co-author Robert Cheeke and I dedicated a full <em>quarter<\/em> of the book to this kind of content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the first nine jam-packed chapters on nutrition and mindset weave in the stories of dozens of elite, pro, and Olympic plant-based athletes, the remaining 90 pages present a detailed &#8220;Day in the Life&#8221; of 25 of those athletes, followed by 60 of the recipes that these athletes use to fuel their grueling training regimens and world-class performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today it&#8217;s my pleasure to share an excerpt from this section \u2014 a look at a typical day in the lives of four incredible plant-based athletes, one or two of whom you&#8217;ll know and a few you probably won&#8217;t (but whose accomplishments are no less impressive). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that&#8217;s a theme you&#8217;ll find throughout <em><a href=\"https:\/\/book.nomeatathlete.com\">The Plant-Based Athlete<\/a><\/em>: We wanted to present not just the familiar, famous cases, but also the stories and insights of <em>so many <\/em>other vegan athletes at the very pinnacle of their sports.<br><br>In the excerpt that follows, you&#8217;ll see typical days in the life of <a href=\"https:\/\/plantstrong.com\/\">Rip Esselstyn<\/a> (former pro triathlete and the force behind <em>The Engine 2 Diet<\/em>), <em><a href=\"https:\/\/dotsiebauschusa.com\/\">Dotsie Bausch<\/a><\/em> (Olympic silver medal-winning cyclist featured in <em>The Game Changers<\/em>, and founder of Switch4Good), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonyalooney.com\/\">Sonya Looney<\/a> (ultra-endurance mountain biking world champion), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/sports\/article244855737.html\">Nick Squires<\/a> (international powerlifting champion and California state record-holder in the deadlift).<br><br>The overriding theme you&#8217;ll see here \u2014 one of the biggest insights I took away from the writing of this book \u2014 is just how many ways there are to make a plant-based diet support the most intense of fitness endeavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It speaks to the versatility of this diet, a very different message from the typical one we&#8217;re fed about how plant-based diets need to be &#8220;well-planned&#8221; in order to be adequate, complete with the undertone that we need to exercise caution, should we choose to eat this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, as you read story after story of athletes who thrive on this diet \u2014 some focusing meticulously on macronutrient ratios, others (like Dotsie Bausch) simply listening to their bodies; some eating exclusively whole foods while others (like Nick Squires) enjoy Beyond Meat and other high-protein, more processed vegan foods \u2014 you get the sense that the truth may be exactly opposite the one we hear so often from mainstream nutrition sources. <br><br>Practically speaking, though, it&#8217;s my hope that such a wide variety of approaches to eating a plant-based diet for fitness will give readers of <em>The Plant-Based Athlete<\/em> the ability to experiment to find the one \u2014 or more likely, a combination of several \u2014 that allows them to thrive with their particular body, sport, and lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy this excerpt, and when you&#8217;re finished, check out <em><a href=\"https:\/\/book.nomeatathlete.com\">The Plant-Based Athlete<\/a><\/em> \u2014 in stores across America Tuesday, June 15th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rip Esselstyn, Former Professional Triathlete,<\/strong> <strong>Swimming World Record Holder<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>MORNING<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Workout 1: <\/em>One-hour morning swim.
