1. Plant-Based Diets: An Overview
There are many variations of plant-based diets, and clinicians need to be able to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the varied dietary approaches.
2. The Benefits of a Plant-Based Diet
Well-planned plant-based diets can have many health benefits, including the reduction of chronic disease. Protein needs can be met with careful planning. In this chapter, strategies for planning plant-based diets will be presented.
3. Why Do Athletes Become Vegan?
The rationale for becoming vegan often centers around sustainability and animal rights. Other reasons include orthorexia, or the desire to eat perfectly, and may be risk factors for disordered eating. Social media is also an influence over dietary patterns, placing athletes at risk based on pseudoscience.
