KNP70 - Building Muscle While Living a Plant Based Life - With Plant Based Chad

Today’s episode was with my good friend, Chad Neilson, also know as Plant Based Chad! I wanted to get Chad on to talk about being a competitive athlete while being plant based. Chad also is NOT a coach, so he has no monetization to gain from this. I am clearly not a plant based guy, and I did not feel judged for being a meat eater. Just like I didn’t judge Chad for being plant based. It was a very respectful and  intellectual conversation that I know you all will get a ton of value from!     Macro E-Book Presale - Click Here     Topics we covered in the podcast: Why he calls myself plant based instead of vegan Favorite plant based protein and restaurants Ditching any dogma about being plant based His “agenda” and bias and cognitive dissonance His journey of Plant Based eating A few things from the movie Game Changers which really stood out to him And lastly, He Answered the age old questions “What do you actually eat?” and “How do you get enough protein?”    Favorite Plant Based Protein Visit True Nutrition’s Website – Click Here   Top 12 Vegan Meals in the Salt Lake Valley 100% Plant Based Restaurants Buds – sandwich shop downtown (100% Plant Based Restaurant).
