I had never considered being plant-based until I read T. Colin Campbell’s The China Study. In the book, Dr. Campbell refers to many professional and Olympic athletes that had thrived while living plant-based. I had been an avid cyclist my entire life and had competed in many cycling events– except for 200-mile rides. As a meat eater, I had tried and failed for years to finish a 200-mile ride. I had the will, but my body could not handle more than 8 hours on a bike.
But I was able to finish my first 200 mile bike ride after just 2 months of being plant-based. That same year, I completed my second 200-mile bike ride (the most challenging in the state of California). I attribute this all to my lifestyle.
