Bodybuilders and recreational athletes have been trying a vegan diet after the Netflix documentary "The Game Changers" lauded the virtues of plant-based eating for athletes.

In a video review, two first-time vegans and YouTube sensations known as the "Buff Dudes" found that a month of eating plant-based left them feeling full, with plenty of strength and energy at the gym.
