Being a vegan and a bodybuilder and athletic Is better to me. The first time I started bodybuilding years ago I was a meat eater and had to fight fat constantly from the meat, people always want to tell you about the protein and aminos in meat but never the fat and cholesterol and the bad things about meat. As a vegan bodybuilder this time my grow is great less pain , less fat and I look better, I also run and preform great. I feel like we are supposed to eat vegetables only and my body and mind are balanced.
