00:01One and only Arnold Schwarzenegger.
00:04I ate a lot of meat.
00:07They showed us commercials.
00:09Steak, that's what a man eats.
00:12Selling that idea that real men eat meat.
00:15Serious man food.
00:16But you've got to understand, that's marketing.
00:18That's not based on reality.
00:21I've been teaching fighting techniques to government agencies
00:24for more than 15 years.
00:26Then I got injured.
00:28Unable to teach for at least six months,
00:30I spent more than 1,000 hours studying science on recovery and nutrition
00:34and stumbled across a study about the Roman gladiators.
00:37The gladiators were predominantly vegetarian.
00:40How could the original professional fighters be so powerful,
00:44eating only plants?
00:47When I made the switch to a plant-based diet,
00:50I qualified for my third Olympic team.
00:52I broke two American records.
00:54I was like, man, I should have done this a long while ago.
00:59When I went plant-based, I wasn't sure if I was going to survive.
01:03And I actually became like a machine.
01:07One of the biggest misconceptions in sports nutrition
01:10is that we have to have animal protein to perform at a high level.
01:13That's just not true.
01:15Sometimes you have to do things that you know your competitors aren't doing.
01:19Today is blood and yesterday is blood.
01:22Yeah.
01:25I think this is going to wake a lot of people up.
01:30I was recovering better, not getting as sore.
01:32This was our best season in the last 15 years, and we had 14 guys on plant-based diets.
01:38We all want to feel great, have more energy.
01:41Cholesterol was 276.
01:42Today, 169.
01:44Whoa, now you're talking.
01:47Most guys my age can keep up with the grandchildren.
01:50My grandchildren can't keep up with me.
01:53It's not one set of dietary guidelines for improving your performance as an athlete.
01:58Another one for reversing heart disease, reversing diabetes.
02:02It's the same for all of them.
02:04Someone asked me, how could you get as strong as an ox without eating any meat?
02:10And my answer was, have you ever seen an ox eating meat?
