The myth!
There has been a lot of focus on protein intake, which resulted in a lots of coverage saying that we needed to consume more. This hype about increasing how much protein we eat was aimed at everyone. Thus the ‘sporty’ folk were told that they needed to eat even more than everyone else. However, excessive protein can do a lot of damage, and people are now realising that the suggested intake was too high.

Dr. Ashwani Garg has kindly shared how he decided the type of medicine that he wanted to specialise in, the events that led to his discovery of veganism, why he went vegan and the amazingness that followed.
