A new study has revealed that building muscle on a vegan diet is just as effective, as an omnivorous one. Researchers found no difference in muscle protein synthesis between the two groups, meaning plant based eaters gain strength and recover well after workouts. This challenges the old idea that animal protein is essential for muscle growth. With more people choosing cruelty free and sustainable lifestyles, this is a major win. We do not need meat to hit our fitness goals. From tofu and lentils to pea protein shakes, the options are varied and numerous. Being strong and plant based is not just possible, it is fully supported by scientific evidence.
