In Episode 3 we talk with Dr Minil Patel, a GP registrar with personal experience of successful weight training and body building, about the commonest question we tend to encounter as plant based eaters - where do you get your protein from?! Minil explains how all plants have protein and how easily he gets adequate protein not just for general health but also muscle building.
