Summary
TJ Waterfall is a sports nutritionist specialising in plant-based nutrition who joins me on the podcast to talk about what a plant-based diet really looks like and what the many benefits are.
The scientific evidence shows that a plant-based diet is one of the most effective ways to improve both long-term health and also support fitness goals and recovery. However, if you've heard anything about plant-based diets you've probably heard they are a fuss and nonsense that's more trouble than its worth. TJ joins me to share his experience, first-hand and working with elite sportspeople, of why that isn't the case.
In this episode, TJ and I discuss:
- What the difference is between being vegan and being plant-based.
- How to discern what information is accurate and what might be marketing blurb.
- Why a plant-based diet doesn’t mean you’ll miss out on key nutrients.
- Why cutting meat out of your diet won’t mean you’re missing out on protein - or will struggle to find it elsewhere.
- The health benefits of eating a plant-based diet; both on cardiovascular health and overall risk of other chronic conditions.
- Why a plant-based diet can have such a positive effect on how you feel, and much more…
TJ's book The Plant-Based Power Plan is available now.
