The Path to Strength and Health with Debbie Rock (vegan), Part 2 of 2

My relationship with food before being vegan was not at all healthy. I was very restrictive with what I was eating, constantly worried about my weight. I would count calories. I’d measure out food. I had a very unhealthy relationship with food because I was worried [that] everything I put in my mouth is going to make me put on weight. I didn’t eat hardly any carbohydrates. I didn’t feel good at al

Before I was vegan, I would go into the gym and do little workouts. I thought I was doing really well, I didn’t want to push myself. I felt like the gym was something I had to do and go and get through to be healthy. After I switched to a vegan diet, I noticed much more energy in my workouts. I noticed my body started changing. I started getting more muscly, looking more toned, and being stronger.

That’s how we came up with the idea for the first PlantBuilt in 2013. Robert Cheeke was involved, and it was Marcella and I from Vegan Muscle Fitness. And it was Giacomo and Dani from Vegan Proteins. We kind of assembled this with several other people, and we flew out to Austin, Texas, and competed in the Naturally Fit Super Show, which is a bodybuilding and multi-sport event there in the summer.

Massimo Leopardi (vegan): From Adrenaline to Consciousness, Part 2 of 2 – Living with Longevity and Compassion

One of the keys that I have discovered to be fundamental for longevity – for being vital, alert, and in good physical and mental shape – is compassion. I have begun to see veganism as a tool for conscious longevity.

I went out, had a big steak dinner, and I had some dairy ice cream and things like that, and I got sick. I got very sick. I was up all night with a bellyache, I felt terrible. And the epiphany I had there was that if my body starts rejecting and not processing these foods well, that quickly after just 30 days, how could they be good for me? If I took 30 days without eating a banana or some other h

The vegan diet helped me find this balance between lightness, balance, and explosive strength that has given me the body to compete beyond the age of 50. In 2019, Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan) presented Massimo Leopardi and Julia Ovchinnikova (both vegans) with the Shining World Compassion Award, plus US$10,000 in humble support of their noble work on Veggie Channel.

It’s a big misconception that you have to eat animal products. I think just looking at the amount of vegan athletes or largely plant-based athletes that are around now, that’s evidence enough, in my opinion, that you don’t need to eat animal products to be successful.

Professional Surfer Tia Blanco (vegan): Waves to Live By, Part 2 of 2

It’s a huge misconception that people think that vegans don’t have anything to eat. There is basically an alternative for anything that you would want that was non-vegan. You could definitely make it vegan. I definitely do not have a shortage of food. I eat so much food, and it's all plant-based and vegan.

In one word, I would describe surfing as freedom. When you step into the ocean and catch a wave, it's almost like an empty canvas for you to paint the picture however you like. So, you have the freedom and space to be creative with your movement and whatever you want to do.

Plumes (vegan): Singing for Animal-People and a Kinder World, Part 2 of 2

I think that animals don’t really have any vices, […] and that they are not proud or selfish at all. Those things don’t exist for them. […] I hope that in a few years we will be able to live in a world where we are as pure and innocent as animals. That would be great.

The animal-people, when they hear some music, they come to you. We collect many of these kinds of touching and emotional scenes or intelligent scenes from the animal-people to also show people that animal-people love the things that we love. They’re also having this artistic appreciation in their hearts. Isn’t that amazing?

So, if you want to bring about justice for people, the planet, and animals, you’re going to have to get involved with your communities. You’re going to have to get involved with the social justice movement, the equality movement, the greening movement. It’s about bringing it all together.

If you just give people the space and the time and the access to the food, people will often make the decision that’s best for them, best for their bodies, and best for the planet. They just need that exposure to it in a supportive and safe and fun environment. In 2023, Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan) donated £3,000 (US $4,047) to Made In Hackney through the Warm Space campaign.

My legacy is (that) I want to essentially show people what's actually possible, that you could build muscle as a vegan on a plant-based diet. And vegans come in all different shapes and sizes. And also that vegan food isn't bad, isn't boring. It could be great, it could taste great.

I often hear people say, “You don’t look vegan!” Because actually, I think there are still a lot of stereotypes about vegans. There’s still a bit of this attitude: “No, vegans are weak!” Well, no, I’m not weak. Vegans are just like everyone else. It’s just that I decided not to make animals suffer, that’s all!

I was on a trip to Costa Rica with my family, and I was there, saw a bunch of emaciated cows. They were going through a drought apparently. These cows looked so skinny, and I was feeling bad for them, I was wondering like, why do I necessarily feel bad for these cows?

The first time I ran my first ultramarathon, I thought that was the hardest thing I’d ever done and never again. But I keep going back, and this is my 16th year of running ultras. And for me, it’s about self-exploration and going beyond, seeing what I can accomplish at the end of the day after running 100 miles (~161 kilometers).
