2014: I went vegan and reached out to top bodybuilding coaches for help. They said they “wouldn’t waste their time & there would never be a successful vegan bodybuilder.” 2019: I’m a pro bodybuilder, muscle & fitness cover model, and featured in a vegan documentary with Arnold.

My vegan training partners. All of us have been vegan over 5+ years (10, 5, & 7 years to be exact). We don’t care about being the biggest or the strongest. We just strive to be better than we were yesterday and show that you don’t need animal products to be strong & healthy.

I wish people would understand that I didn’t ‘give up’ anything when I went vegan. ‘Giving something up’ implies that concessions were made. I merely stopped consuming/purchasing animal foods & byproducts bc it no longer aligned with my values. Ive never regretted my decision.

“Vegan diets that aren’t properly planned can result in health issues.” That goes for EVERY. SINGLE. DIET. The number 1 cause of death in the US is heart disease, which can be significantly reduced by properly planning your diet. Everyone should plan their nutrition. Period.

It’s ironic when people argue that vegan diets are unnatural because we supplement B12 or a plant based protein powder, yet a majority of supplements on the market were created for non-vegans. Vegans make up < 5% of the US population. Who do you think is using more supplements?

You don’t “give up” animal products when you go vegan. Giving up something implies that you’re making a concession or a compromise. It’s a deliberate choice to remove yourself from the cycle of unnecessary violence so that your life & the lives of other beings are improved.
