How did you discover Vega?: VeganBodybuilding.com

Tell us a little more about yourself: I am a fitness trainer, vocal artist, recording engineer and producer and also a recovering alcoholic and food addict.
I have been in recovery for 18 years and as a result I have an awesome life (www.fit2give.com) and also enjoy an athletic lifestyle and compete in figure competitions as my sport of choice.

Vegan for the Figure Athlete

I am so stoked on changing my lifestyle to vegan. Especially as an athlete, it is so awesome to find a place where I can learn more, grow and finally get to my vegan life.
Being a figure competitor, so loaded with high protein food plans (chicken, chicken, chicken), wow - the acidic nature of that just freaks me out and to think I did my first two seasons doing just that, yuk.
I am in the process of turning my whole website around to reflect my lifestyle change into a vegan way of life (www.fit2give.com).
I give much gratitude to finding this wonderful community.

The general response I've gotten is to eat a large salad with leafy greens twice a day.

I appreciate your openness about yourself and your addictions. I haven't had an alcoholic beverage in 4.5 years myself and now that I am a vegan I feel like I'm really cleaning out my body and treating it the way I always should have. I still struggle with sugar as I mentioned in my discussion but am better than I have ever been. But there is always room for improvement. Thanks for friending me. I look forward to knowing you better.
