![]() Athletes Pump Iron Long after World Vegan DayMany vegan athletes have found success in their fields by adopting a plant-based diet. Use their knowledge and stories as a source of inspiration to encourage your own fitness goals, and guarantee that you also excel.
By: Viva la Vegan! “Sometime in 2012, I read about a vegan bodybuilding champion from Berlin in Germany, Michael Griesmeier,” Many different athletes from all over the world have been interviewed for this 340-page book, which started as an online series in 2012, and is currently crowd funding on Kickstarter. There are Olympians, professional sports people, personal trainers, and those who simply live for working out and being fit. “There are so many things I learned when I was editing and compiling the book,” says Leigh-Chantelle. “One of the main things is that you need muscle to be able to burn fat.” One thing Leigh-Chantelle can't believe is how many of the vegan athletes still get asked about their protein sources. “Out of the 111 people featured in this book, 77 of them still get asked about where they get their protein - that’s just under 70%!” she laughs. “Suddenly everyone becomes interested in your health when you become vegan” adds Leigh-Chantelle, who has qualifications in naturopathy, nutrition and western herbal medicine. “Some of the interviewees are vegan, like I am, because of animal rights and ethics, whilst others are more focused on the environmental and health aspects of veganism. All have found that a vegan diet has helped them to excel in their own area of fitness,” finishes Leigh-Chantelle.
