E.14 Former England Rugby Player, Diet and Becoming Flexitarian

This week I am joined by Former England Rugby player Olly Barkley. Olly had a very unique journey where he went straight into playing for England which then led him to play for Bath with a very long and successful career which lasted 15 years! I was really looking forward to speaking to Olly about his diet when playing professional rugby compared to his diet now, as well as his thoughts on the plant-based movement and whether he believed that you could play a high impact sport professionally whilst on a predominantly plant-based diet.  This conversation was so interesting,  Olly's knowledge and passion on the topics were so inspiring as we discussed the following topics:- Olly's career journey and how he got there- Calorie intake whilst in training for a professional sport - Nutritional guidance- The power of food for recovery, maintenance and growth - Learning about how your personal body works and develops- Supplements - Plant-Based and Flexitarian Follow Greedy Vegan on Instagram - @greedyveganltdFind out about becoming a Greedy Vegan at www.greedyvegan.uk To find out more about becoming a Greedy Vegan head to our Website or follow us on Instagram or Tik Tok @greedyveganltd Hosted on Acast.
