What do you typically eat in a day?
Breakfast is typically either porridge or a smoothie but the ingredients are the same either way:
- Oats, chopped dates, lots of frozen berries, chia seeds and flaxseeds with a scoop of Vivo Life Perform protein powder.
- (The next two meals will typically be identical which saves on cooking time.)
- Often a can’s worth of legumes (beans/chickpeas/lentils) with a wholegrain such as quinoa and a good amount of differently coloured vegetables.
- I will have fruit and nuts with these meals.
- Then in the evening time it’s a more elaborate meal cooked from whole plant foods.
- Often it may be burgers or falafels (various types of beans, wholegrains and vegetables baked in the oven) and served with baked oil-free white sweet potato chips and a salad. We may make a dressing with tahini and lemon juice.

What changes have you seen since you went vegan?
Huge benefits in physique and sports performance. My blood pressure has dropped significantly and is now optimal. My eye-sight improved by more than double and I now no longer suffer from hayfever or tendonitis.
Would you advise men to go vegan?
YUP!
Why?
- A healthy vegan diet can prevent the main killer of humans, heart disease.
- Often it strikes without warning but sometimes men can get a clue.
- There’s a rule called 40 over 40. That is, 40% of men over age 40 suffer with erectile dysfunction.
- We used to think it was largely psychological. We now know it’s generally because the atherosclerosis that fills the large coronary arteries that feed the heart also clogs up the smaller arteries that feed the penis.
- In addition to the health benefits, the vast majority of vegans are currently female and they all want vegan boyfriends! 😉

Would you advise bodybuilders/fitness experts to be plant based?
Yes
What changes have you seen in your body?
I’m in the best condition of my life which is pretty amazing considering I’m mid 40s! In fact one company paid me to model their underwear in a couple of my YouTube videos.
What changes have you seen in your fitness?
I used to train hard for 45 minutes as an omnivorous eater and then go home and crash, I now train for 1 1/2 hrs and feel totally unstoppable with ZERO crash.
What changes have you seen in your recovery time?
I recover much quicker from exercise and have TONNES more energy and enthusiasm for training!
Why should people head towards a more plant based diet?
It is superior in every way. Prevents 14 out of the 15 leading causes of death in the western world (the other being accidents so just look where you’re going)!
Animal agriculture is the leading driver of most of the environmental destruction currently being visited upon the planet and we have precious little time to put it right before it’s too late. And nobody wants to hurt animals if it’s unnecessary (it IS unnecessary)!
