What you describe here is also set of particular diets that include many restrictions. The only difference is these restrictions are not considered extremely incompatible with the common diet.

As you shared Rogan's episode 1389 "debunking" The Game Changers, it seems only fair to include the followup episode 1393, which addresses the claims in 1389: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0zgNY_kqlI

Beyond question or debunking: the world-class athletes featured in the film have achieved their successes while on pure plant-based diets.

Possible for some vs optimal for most are two different things. There’s also a lot of confounding variables, not to mention PEDs at the top level of most (highly compensated) sports.
I wish a plant-only diet was optimal across the board but so far I haven’t found the right one that is the case for me personally.

Honestly do we need full veganism to make a dent in both Eco-friendliness and personal health ? a bit of meat would be alright and most of the negative of worldwide mass production

That is false. Some of the athletes featured in the movie did consume animal products such as eggs. It's a propaganda piece, not to be taken seriously.

Can you please share who that was? And corroborating links?

Nate Diaz is one:
""Speaking about his plant-based diet, the athlete said: "I'm going on and off.
"I was a complete vegan for eight years, but I would dabble into some seafood every now and then.
"Now, I dig fish.""

Are there any good sources for a particular diet/restriction that correlates with mechanical or mental performance? Anecdotally the top performers I know generally balance meat/fruit/vegetables, eliminate sugar, and follow other common nutrition knowledge without committing to any particular diets or restrictions.
