OK, so I'm not married to the real Lance Armstrong, but Brian has often been mistaken for Lance. (I bought him a Livestrong yellow bracelet, but just can't convince him to wear those bike shorts around town...) I practically had to pry the cell phone out of a bartender's hand in Bentonville, AR before he called his friends to tell them he had Lance Armstrong in his bar.
Well, now Lance is following in Brian's footsteps with a plant-based diet. Scratch that, now Lance is following in your footsteps...
Training for his first triathlon this year, Lance Armstrong has partially implemented the Engine 2 Diet - organic, vegan diet for breakfast and lunch. Like you, he is not 100% vegan. And like you, he boasts an increase in physical energy and mental focus. See how much you have in common with a professional athlete? Click here to read the entire article - see what a non-believer he was and how he changed his tune.
In 2003, I walked across the stage in the TCU gym to receive my graduate degree in Sports Psychology - hoping to continue working with college and professional athletes. As such a larger percentage of the population, it's more fulfilling to me to work with Life Athletes - like you Corporate Athletes who work 50+ hour weeks with no 'off-season' or you Mom Athletes who are 'competing' 24/7 with no break, time-out, or second-string.
Take it from a seven-time Tour-de-France winner and professional athlete. Give your body a break now and then. A whole foods, plant-based diet is like giving your body a vacation. Start your off-season today!
