Another tick from me for plant based eating. I lost a bit over 2 stones from September to Christmas with zero Cardio training. I actually estimate ive lost 3 stones of fat and gained 1 in muscle. All my key lifts are up, deadlifting nearly 3 times my bodyweight. Digestion is better. Feel more energetic. So much more flexible
Im currently on Pescatarian diet, so plants and fish, but planning to go back to Vegan from March.
I think people generally believe what they want to believe when it comes to diet. If people like eating Steak and Cheese they will find some literature online that makes them comfortable eating them.
When in reality farmed red meat and dairy are absolutely horrendous for your blood pressure and heart health.
When it comes to exercise, aswell as enough cardio to fulfill your role in the team I would recommend thinking about exercises specific to your role. For example - a keeper may benefit from different types of weighted squats, explosive power from the legs etc.
