Plant Based Nutrition for Endurance Athletes: The New Science of Exploiting Organic and Raw Foods (The Science of Nutrition Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Paul Rogers (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.9 out of 5 stars 42 ratings

The Science Behind Why a Proper Plant Based Diet Can Provide More Energy for Endurance Athletes


It is a widely accepted principle, even among those who embrace the standard Western style diet, that eating unprocessed, organic foods is in general healthier than eating a highly processed meat based diet. What is not generally known is the specific impact that eating a diet consisting primarily of organic, plant based foods can have on the performance of the endurance athlete.



Athletic performance is largely dependent on how well the body is able to manage, store and process energy. Eating a diet of unprocessed, organic food enables the human body to produce an excess of energy while at the same time negating the potential for any harmful ingredients. That clean energy increases endurance levels, overall stamina and optimal fitness of the human body. Conversely, eating a processed meat based diet demands a greater energy cost based on the metabolic processes involved and in turn yields a much smaller nutritional payload.



Plant Based Nutrition for Endurance Athletes: The New Science of Exploiting Organic and Raw Foods

This book will lay out the science based arguments for why eating a clean, plant based diet is optimal:
  • Overview of the Basic Metabolism Process
  • Why Animal Protein and Processed Food is Bad for Athletes
  • Naturally Enhancing the Metabolization of Carbohydrates
  • The Benefits of Fibers, Chlorophyll and Alkaloids
  • Getting the Maximum Nutritional Benefit from Green, Leafy Vegetables
  • Optimal Ratio and Distribution of Nutrients for Maximum Energy Output

I am a passionate runner, vegan and general exercise enthusiast. I've successfully made the transition to living healthier and happier and enjoy writing about it in the hopes of inspiring others to do the same!

I would love to hear from anyone who has questions about a book of mine or is curious about the things I am passionate about in general. Feel free to reach out to me - if I don't get back to you right away, it's probably because I'm out on the road running somewhere.

    Great book if you want to get some more information and get a better understanding on your anatomy and how certain foods break down in your body. It feels like I'm reading an A&P book, but more digestible. It's a short read and packed very good primer.

    I was expecting advice on pre/post activity meals, balances of nutrients, recipes, etc. for vegan athletes, but this was short and basically said eat your greens.

    As a wellness coach, I am always looking for new ways to increase endurance through things other than supplements. This book discusses how a plant-based diet and eating clean, unprocessed food can impact your athletic performance and increase your metabolism. Although a brief book, author Paul Rogers provides a ton of useful information, with the science to back it up.

    One popular misconception is regarding protein for athletes. There is a section in this book that looks at how bad animal protein can be for athletes. As Rogers writes, humans do not have the enzymes necessary to break down and digest animal-based protein and raw meats. Digesting clean, unprocessed foods can both preserve energy and speed up the digestion process.

    If you are an athlete looking for an added edge or just someone who is looking to become more fit, this is a great book to download. Well-written, to-the-point, and well-organized, I found it to be extremely helpful for myself and my clients.
