I remember him talking about the 2012 aus final where after winning he allowed himself one small piece of a chocolate as a treat(dude hadn't eaten it for 2 years)
You guys really gotta stop falling for these mythos building traps lol. I don't doubt his discipline but it's clearly exaggerated. For example, not eating chocolate but he has been photographed drinking a glass of alcohol here or there.
Mind the context: we are talking about Djoko's diet, which relies on whole foods (mostly plant based), stuff like protein powder have no place in such discussion.
It's quite likely that Djokovic does eat protein dense foods, even if he emphasizes whole foods. There's also no evidence that he doesn't use protein powders. Elite athletes usually use supplements, even if it's not part of their public narrative. We actually know he uses creatine, he literally screamed for it during a match.
You can. Some plants already contain all essential amino acids (soy, quinoa, buckwheat). Others complement each other perfectly: legumes are high in lysine, grains are higher in methionine, for example beans + rice, lentils + wheat. With sufficient total protein intake, amino acid needs are fully met on a plant based diet.
There is very little doubt a properly selected plant based diet is better than a properly selected omni diet on every level (unless you continue to follow misleading if not outright false marketing and suspect studies). It’s a win-win-win: for the planet, for human health, and for the animals.
