Optimizing Performance on a Vegetarian Diet

Abstract

The decision to make the switch to vegetarianism, veganism or to simply incorporating more plant-based foods in your meals can be for a variety of reasons: an underlying health condition (I.e. heart disease, diabetes), ethical and/or environmental values, or because you watched a compelling documentary on Netflix. Whatever the reason, there are some important nutritional considerations to be aware of when limiting or restricting animal products from your diet.
