Vegan Bodybuilder Danny David Sprouts Muscles Naturally

Another story of a body builder finding that Plantarian diets offers BIG advantages over meat and dairy

David is a certified fitness trainer, nutritionist, model, and soon-to-be author, currently in Vancouver. He feeds his muscles with a 70 percent raw, all plant-based diet, but it wasn't always that way.

"I started out on a more conventional body building track... I got up to 210 pounds," he said. "At the time, I was working in New York as a fitness model, but I wasn't really running on fuel. I was running on energy drinks and eating as much as I could. Meat protein, whey protein. It eventually led to my body and mind breaking down. I went to the hospital and they found I had severe tissue damage."


After his crash in 2007, David found raw foods while in pursuit of some spiritual development.

"I started with practicing energy work, became less resistant, and began meditating more," he said. "And I was living in New York, so then my friends started taking me to juice bars, and I cut out a lot of meat. It actually started with me doing a one-week raw cleanse, and I just loved it so much that I didn't want to stop."
