“Things that seem morally obvious and intuitive now weren’t necessarily so in the past; many started with nonconforming reasoning” – Robert M. Sapolsky
Vegan Sports Nutrition is built to serve athletes and their performance goals through vegan-based education, guidance, and sources. VSN challenges myths surrounding physical excellence: that meat must be consumed to build muscle; that soy destroys testosterone; that “if a vegan diet was superior, then every Olympian would’ve adopted it by now”. Veganism and athletic progress are no longer divided. The question VSN aims to answer is not a matter of if, but how?
We understand the challenges of eating for success: the difficulty of finding effective plant sources at the grocery store; the constant misunderstanding from peers; the seemingly lack of variety for protein; how to make meals tasty without the need to be a professional chef. We know you because we are you – having gone through these issues ourselves.
VSN will provide athletes and general population with athletic goals – from super competitive to general health – the knowledge to have a personalized fueling system. Topics include vegan cooking, college course notes, logistics of meal preparation, registered dietetics (see below), nutrition research, specific sports requirements, and veganism as a whole.
Veganism is more than a diet. Consider our world of inhumane treatment towards animals – from breeding to slaughter. To overcome this will prove more difficult than any challenge of fueling yourself for a training session. As athletes, we understand competition as our closest friend. Embrace the hardships of our ethical practice and watch your nutrition accelerate your performance.
Stand your ground, for it is the source of your energy.
