Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

Hey Guys,

I'm originally from northern Sweden and was raised on a Biodynamic farm. We ate everything locally, which could be Elk from our forrest or self-raised pork, milk from our neighbors barn, and veggies from our own gardens. When I was 17 and moved away from home, to focus on elite gymnastics, I saw the cost and health benefits of eating vegetarian. I also didn't like cheese and found out a year later that I was lactose intolerant. So I just happened to become vegan and after a while I realized how energetic I felt and how quickly I recovered after exercise.

My athletic carrier started as a circus artist and then gymnastics started to take over more and more of my time.


I kept fighting for my dreams


Performing arts
At 19 I moved from Sweden to California to learn how to dance and perhaps go on tour as a dancer/performer/gymnast. Living in California is when told myself I was a vegan just because there were fresh foods available everywhere and I could get it cheaply and in great quantities. I'm now taking more dance classes, working out, and have just started a new job at Disneyland. I'm extremely grateful for all the amazing people I've met on my journeys and am excited to meet many more.

I'll start keeping track of my progress both on my newly made website and youtube as I try to gain some weight while staying on a 80/10/10 diet. I'll be about 4500-5000 calories a day and I'll be eating anything vegan and healthy that will help me reach my goals. I would love feedback and help from knowledgeable athletes and hope to make some great connections through this website.

Best regards,
Phillip

Hey Phillip, badass pics. Growing up on a biodynamic farm must have been a really unique experience. That's really cool to hear you almost stumbled upon veganism through trial and success and stuck with it because of its positive results. Sounds similar to Brendan Brazier's story of how he became vegan and created Vega through trial and error of developing the best diet for recovery, strength and endurance as an iron man triathlete. If you haven't read any of his books I think you might find them interesting. Thrive, The Thrive Diet, I think there maybe others now, not sure but those 2 are excellent.
