Building Muscle On A Vegan Diet Interview With Derek Tresize

Today I had the pleasure of talking to Derek Tresize (the name fits him!). He talks about why he went vegan and how he is able to win so many competitions eating only plants. He answers viewers questions about raising vegan kids, what he eats and gives his famous bean smoothie recipe. Derek Tresize is a competitive vegan bodybuilder residing in Richmond, Virginia. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Biology, is a Personal Trainer through the American Council on Exercise, has a Certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition through Cornell University, and is co-author of Vegan Muscle & Fitness. Derek has followed a plant-based diet since 2007 and promotes it to his clients and in the fitness and bodybuilding community as the best means to long term health.
