https://blissplanet.com/plant-based-vitality-with-benjamin-benulis-dc/I decided to go vegan on April fools day of 2018 which was also Easter. I have a twin sister and went to her house where there was nothing but meat there so I brought my own food. I was made fun of that I brought my own food, but that goes with my lifestyle.

I don’t push being vegan on anyone else. I have a lifestyle of, “I’m gonna do this and if you guys want to follow then that’s great.”

I gave up red meat when we had to give up something in yoga before going vegan. I lost five pounds and felt it was great as I wanted to be quicker and that happened for me. I slowly incorporated my lifestyle to be consuming almond milk as I gave up milk, cheese and eggs. I met this vegan bodybuilder, an ex boyfriend, Ryan Nelson…a trainer and fit guy. I was impressed that he was a bodybuilder who gave up eggs and realized that is what I could do as well to improve my health. 

I would visit the doctor and always shake as that was always me. I was told that nothing was wrong with me except having high cholesterol. I would wonder how I could have high cholesterol. That makes no sense to me as I was one of the people who rarely ate fries because I always wanted to look good and be athletic. 

I got into CrossFit and gave up eggs and animal products. A lot of people think that because I am vegan I can’t have mucle. I did a bodybuilding show and 4 weeks away from the show my trainer said that I wasn’t lean enough. They told me that I needed to eat fish. I wondered how they could tell someone who is vegan that they need to eat fish to get lean. I had a strong mindset that I could run more. They told me that I was done unless I eat fish. They didn’t understand that it was my lifestyle. I went back to Ryan and asked him for advice as I wanted to make a statement as I was lean, but not stage lean. He asked me what I ate as I had a lot of Tofu. I switched to Tempeh and that was a game changer. I learned the importance of food and how it works for my body as every body is different. I got lean and my old trainer who told me I wasn’t lean enough had to watch me walk up on stage and win 1st place three times.

It was a mental thing for me. You have to be ok with yourself.  I did loose a lot of friends in the process, I quit my job…I made a new job and it’s better for me. I felt it was a wake up call by having someone tell me I wasn’t lean enough. 

If you want to achieve a goal. Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, “What do I have to do to make myself get to where I want to be?”
