Derek Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 lol. Big some day... Can't wait! Will you be staying near Richmond? If so you can come to my Gold's and work out all you want, of course. Our photographer is Kimberly Frost (kimberlyfrost.com). She normally does portraits and periodicals but she's awesome with physique shots as well. Train hard! PS, who was your photographer for the photo shoot? My friend was asking today. You may have stated it but just wanted to quickly ask. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyquil Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 whoa! i'm 5'11 too, but only 155 lb :\ There's hope for me yet! What an inspiration!30lbs should be doable for me if i put in some hard work. the most i've gained was about 10-15 lbs in 3 months or so, but i was a meat eater back then and was taking creatine as well hehe. i'm considering going vegan/vegetarian now... and that picture, as well as robert's pictures are just the motivations i needed to make the switch!

Thanks man, that's great! When I switched I dropped 15lbs, but it was because my average bodyfat went from 12% to 7%. Then I gained it all back as muscle. Many of my clients who made the change had similar results, so no loss there! Just lift heavy and eat a lot and you'll get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormicaLinoleum Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I know from your blog that you have an Eat to Live style diet. Did you switch to that at the same time as becoming vegan, or did you become vegan first then take up EtL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 I know from your blog that you have an Eat to Live style diet. Did you switch to that at the same time as becoming vegan, or did you become vegan first then take up EtL? We don't strictly follow Eat to Live, but we do try and eat as many whole unprocessed foods as possible. We both started out eating a lot more flour based foods and imitation animal product foods ( as I think many vegans do) then as we educated ourselves we grew more and more to follow what we do now. I wouldn't really call our dietary habits EtL style as much as what we feel is the healthiest possible diet to consume based on many sources and our own experience with how food makes us look/feel. Do you follow a similar diet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we have used your blog for recipe ideas, so thanks for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
