MY DIET

I’m a singer who ended up looking like a  bodybuilder as the byproduct of my vocal journey, eating plants and doing daily functional training without lifting weights or going to a gym.

For details please see my interviews with  The Physicians Committee,  VeganLinked and  with  Chef AJ, also the article  A Myth-Busting Vegan Journey.

No steroids, athletic / protein supplements, creatine, collagen, K2, DHA, etc.

One solid meal and several smoothies a day.

B12 and D3 (no other supplements). No supplement would be needed on raw vegan diet in a natural world with organic farming and with enough sun exposure.

A healthy body’s nutritional requirements are minimal, and whole plants provide everything. 

Unnecessary supplementation of any kind,

Consumption of non-plant stuffs in  any amount,

And even the overconsumption of plants, which are the  only natural food and fuel for humans,

is only a  burden for the body.
