Sidelined by injury and unable to train for six months, UFC champion James Wilks researched the optimal diet for recovery. He was surprised to find a study conducted by Australian archeologists suggesting that Roman gladiators\u2014the world\u2019s original professional warriors\u2014subsisted largely on a plant-based diet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This revelation kicked off a five-year quest as Wilks, who is also an instructor in hand-to-hand combat training for the U.S. military, traveled around the world interviewing athletes about their experience with plant-based diets, as well as doctors and scientists whose research supported the health benefits of foregoing meat completely. He chronicles his journey in The Game Changers<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>a documentary film that he stars in and produced that debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in 2018. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a recent Game Changers<\/em> screening at WeWork 54 W 40th St<\/a> in New York, Wilks sat down for a panel discussion, moderated by WeWork Food Labs manager Tessa Price, with two of the film\u2019s collaborators, plant-based chef Charity Morgan and sports nutritionist David Goldman. The group discussed the ways in which a plant-based diet is beneficial not only to elite athletes, but also to the health of everyday people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re all athletes in one way or another,\u201d said Wilks. \u201cIt\u2019s all about performance\u2014the way you perform at work, the way you perform as a parent, your brain functioning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making the case for a meat-free diet<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The film upends the age-old myth that consuming animal protein is the key to building strength by chronicling elite athletes, like record-holding ultramarathoner Scott Jurek, Olympic sprinter Morgan Mitchell, world record\u2013holding strongman Patrik Baboumian, and Olympic cycling medalist Dotsie Bausch, all of whom improved their strength, endurance, and recovery after switching to a plant-based diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the film, Charity Morgan and her husband, Tennessee Titans linebacker Derrick Morgan, share their journey to a plant-based lifestyle. In 2016, Derrick began cutting meat out of his diet and experienced better performance on the field, faster recovery time, and less inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour body can get every aspect of a complete protein [from plants], instead of bits and pieces from animal meats,\u201d said Morgan, who is a Le Cordon Bleu\u2013trained chef. \u201cYou\u2019re getting amino acids, you\u2019re getting clean protein without hormones and antibiotics; you\u2019re getting so much more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She began preparing meat-free alternatives to Derrick\u2019s favorite foods, including burgers, truffle mac and cheese, and enchiladas, that looked so delicious, they got the attention of Derrick\u2019s teammates. Soon, most of the Titans\u2019 starters were adhering to Charity\u2019s plant-based meal plan and found that they were not only performing better, but feeling better<\/a>, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, the Titans made it to the NFL playoffs for the first time in almost a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plant-based dishes for real people<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While athletes like NFL players require a high-calorie diet to sustain their performance, the filmmakers learned, the health benefits of going meat-free extend to everyone\u2014and include improved heart health, lower cholesterol, more energy, and clarity of mind. That said, making the switch isn\u2019t always easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAthletes are so disciplined. They can eat the same thing at the same time every single day,\u201d said Morgan. \u201cI\u2019m a regular person. I like to eat many different things and I like it all to taste good, so I love helping regular people make the transition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of her go-tos for a high-protein, plant-based diet include quinoa, lentils, kale, sweet potatoes, and black beans, as well as avocado for healthy fat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who are particularly skeptical about giving up meat at the sacrifice of flavor, Morgan suggested identifying three favorite meals and then preparing meatless versions. She\u2019s created dishes as varied as plant-based lasagna, Kung Pao shrimp, and jambalaya. \u201cYou\u2019ll be hooked instantly,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilks noted that it\u2019s easier than ever to make substitutions, with more plant-based foods and ingredients readily available at grocery stores. Fast-food and fast-casual restaurants, like Sweetgreen and Chipotle, are also showcasing plant-based meals on their menus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The smarter choice<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The research Wilks unearthed points to cutting meat completely out of your diet for optimal health. \u201cWhenever you\u2019re making a healthy choice, the question is always: Compared to what?\u201d he asked, explaining that the best choice is plant over animal, and then choosing which plants to eat. Either way, the more whole foods, the better.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goldman cited studies that illustrated a stepwise progression of health benefits from omnivore to semi-vegetarian, pescetarian, vegetarian, and finally, vegan diets. \u201cYou can ratchet up and ratchet down the health effects, meal by meal, week by week,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the many studies cited in The Game Changers<\/em>, Wilks spoke of one that found that people with plant-based diets have higher IQs than those who also eat meat. \u201cThe scientists can\u2019t fully explain the correlation,\u201d he said slyly. \u201cThey don\u2019t know if not eating meat makes you smarter or if smarter people don\u2019t eat meat.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
