Several athletes were featured on Los Angeles’ ABC KABC-TV for their plant-based diets.
Jacksonville Jaguars NFL player Montell Owens, MMA fighter Mac Danzig and tri-athlete Brendan Brazier all discussed how eating vegetarian and vegan has helped improve their performance.
Owens was motivated to change his diet after watching many of his friends and family suffer health problems due to diet.
“Many of the things that they were going through, they were preventable,” said Owens. “Culturally there needs to be a change, and why not start with myself?”
The athletes agree that the switch has not hindered their athletic abilities, but made it better.
“I felt just as good as I had before, if not maybe a little better,” said Danzig. “I think if you eat cleanly and you have good fats and good carbohydrates and good protein, you don’t need a really high amount of protein.”
