Michigan Vegan Fitness Freak

[Kohdii]

Hey guys

My name is Cody, I am from Michigan and I'm 19. I have been a hardcore fitness buff and nutrition freak for a few years and tracked my diet for all that time in a spreadsheet. I realized that to fit my strict dietary limits and goals I had stopped eating meat and dairy without even realizing it. I did research about humans and meat/dairy/animal products and how the meat is made and decided to switch to veganism full-on.

I've been a vegan for about 6 months and It's my entire lifestyle now mixed with fitness.

Just wanted to join a forum as unique as this one, very niche. I've found many fitness forums that rant about meat/insane amounts of protein, and many vegan forums that don't really push exercise and its just awesome to find a forum mixed for both.

Welcome!

I'm in Michigan, and I'm vegan, and I'm an athlete. I am a Masters Swim coach (Ann Arbor Masters), and still a competitive a swimmer and triathlete, and a much less competitive soccer player, water polo player, runner, and cyclist, and rare lifter.

What fitness do you do? Sounds like weight training? But IDK. More info please!

There's a few of us here in Michigan, including some folk that might be up your alley in fitness. Where are you at?

I hope you post a lot and I look forward to hearing about your progress. You sound very interesting.

I'm a long distance runner, swimmer, cyclist, I do gymnastics, parkour, and weight train. Very big into nutrition. I used to box and do MMA but got out of it because I didn't want to injure myself and possibly ruin my abilities to continue to workout. So I got lucky leaving it before anything happened. I'm also a fitness/fashion model so that kind of called for it too.

I'm in Flint, Michigan. I want to move down to Ann Arbor though, I hear the city is very veg-friendly.

Ann Arbor is very vegan friendly. We have three 100% veg*n restaurants for a population of just over 100,000. Just about every restaurant here has vegan options or is vegan friendly.

Come on over! I'd love to go for a swim/bike/run/h2o polo and a meal.

My bf% is 4% in that pic, and I maintain a 3-4% bf year-round, for personal preferences, my diet is very strict. I'm just more comfortable in general with a low bf%, and plus work comes randomly and you need to be ready at all times so it works out.

Thanks btw haha
