Plant friends this is first in a series of episodes focused on athletes representing PlantBuilt a collective of vegan athletes with the goal to “demonstrate that athletes can be competitive and compassionate at the highest level of sports fuelled solely by plants.” That's a quote from Giacomo Marchese, PlantBuilt co-founder who I chatted with back in E758.

Lisa is joined by Giacomo Marchese, who talks about being a vegan and a competitive body builder. Plantbuilt: A Decade of Compassionate Strength In 2012 Giacomo Marchese and Dani Taylor championed the idea of forming a team of vegan bodybuilders to compete along side non-vegan competitors with the goal of showing that not only could the vegan athletes compete, they could win. They reached out to friends in the community to gauge their interest in participating and the first Plantbuilt team was formed. The team traveled to Austin, Texas to participate in the Naturally Fit Games- a multi sport expo, and dominated the bodybuilding stage. Since then Plantbuilt has competed two more times broadening our base of athletes to include more strength based sports and every time successfully spreads the message of cruelty free strength. 2022 will be the fourth time the team sets out to change hearts and minds, with some familar faces and some new additions to the family. Help us celebrate our 10th year of activism and keep checking in for updates about the team and the competition. PLANTBUILT Powered by VEGAN STRONG Accomplishing elite levels of strength, health, and wellness, is an extension of our compassion for life. Our lifestyle requires physical effort beyond our normal capacity, furthermore is the use of proper nutrition, rest, and mental well being. None of these require the destruction of animals . As a collective (PlantBuilt) we live, train, compete, and educate in our communities, showing the success of compassionate Veganism Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How do vegans get their protein? Vegan bodybuilders Dani Taylor and Giacomo Marchese of VeganProteins.com answer this question, and a heck of a lot more: long-term habit change, strength training on a vegan diet, and reaching big fitness goals. They travel with the Vegan Strong team and co-founded PlantBuilt.com, an NPO of vegan strength athletes who compete to raise awareness for veganism and money for animal rescue sanctuaries. Eat plants; lift heavy: this is how!
Giacomo is the co-founder of VeganProteins.com and co-founded PlantBuilt.com, a non-profit organization of strength-based vegan athletes who compete to raise awareness for veganism and money for rescued animals at farms sanctuaries. As an assistant coach, Giacomo works in daily communications with coaching clients. Giacomo also uses his unique strengths to ensure the client is getting the best programming and guidance they can from the VeganProteins team. Giacomo has been vegan for over ten years. He has been involved with fitness for over 20 years in many different arenas, specializing in coaching others, and actively competes in bodybuilding and powerlifting specifically. Giacomo uses strength-based sports & travels to various Vegan Festivals across the country to raise awareness for animal rights and welfare. Giacomo has coached clients at NYSC, Bally's Sports Club, and LA Fitness. Currently, he coaches clients online for VeganProteins and holds a certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University.

4:54 From plant-based diet to animal rescuers: they gave me more of a connection with what was on my plate--that it wasn't just food, but a being. That experience started to connect the dots for me. 5:35 Incorporating more plants in your life: Step one, eat more vegetables. Be honest with yourself. Step two, do not think of whole foods in terms of needing to always eat more fruits and vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. You can make stuff at home--make your own meat at home. Look for that information. 8:32 Vegan protein: It started as a supplement shop. The first vegan supplement shop on the internet helping those who had a hard time sourcing vegan protein powder, those going vegetarian and then transitioning to vegan. 9:21 Vegan Strong: Started as a collaboration with community and friends like Robert Cheeke--a documentary highlighting vegan bodybuilders on stage. It became a collab with organizers of giant sports festivals doing speaking, food demos, presentations, lectures with the message: Plants have all the protein you need. 11:12 Mastering short-term goals and turning it into long-term goal: You need a reward. If you don't have something dangled, you're not going to do it. But don't get addicted to that carrot because then you'll be shortsighted. For long term success, which requires planning and goals and a schedule that is maintainable for your lifestyle, recognize what's practical and realistic. Dangle the carrot, and think about something that you could do for the next 10 years and arguably the rest of your life. 12:41 Most important factors to incorporating a new lifestyle or habit: Accountability is a big one. Having an outside source, an accountability buddy or a coach or journaling are all helpful tools. Start small, enjoy the process. 13:45 Focus on sleep and hydration before you do anything else. If your sleep hygiene and hydration is off, everything else is going to suffer. Don't get too caught up in the details. Start with your basic health markers and then work your way into the details. One step at a time. 15:47 To reach an extreme goal, no matter how efficient you are and how well you manage stress and anxiety, unfortunately, you have to take things to an unsustainable level. So think ahead and plan ahead. Because once you reach your goal, if you don't have what's next lined up for you, you're going to fall off. There will be consequences. 16:56 Meditation for mental health: Both guided and not guided are beneficial. Take time to reflect. Make room for your thoughts and feelings. Don't be afraid to reach out for health. Going to a therapist can be taken proactively and for personal growth. 20:56 Giacomo's Best Medicine: Compassion. It tests me time and time again, separates me from my ego, governs my choices, forces me to reflect on and sit with my feelings.

“It's important to focus on listening to your body, think about how it's responding, and what you're getting out of it. It's really easy to be inspired by other people, and to think that that's gonna work for you. And it's the person, it's problematic when you're inspired by one person's process, because their path is probably different than yours. And also their bodies are different from yours.” - Giacomo Marchese Welcome to The Fit Vegan Podcast, I'm your host, Maxime Sigouin! Today, we are with Giacomo Marchese from VeganProteins.com as he discusses some practical tips to adhere to on our way to creating our New Year's Resolutions. This reveals the importance of dreaming and careful planning to ensure the momentum of habit-building. Giacomo is the co-founder of VeganProteins.com and also co-founded PlantBuilt.com, a non profit organization of strength based vegan athletes who compete together to raise awareness for veganism and money for rescued animals at farm sanctuaries. In this episode, we cover [00:01 - 07:12] Initiating the Veganism Advocacy through Non-Profit Organizations [07:13 - 11:14] The Spiritual, Emotional, and Practical Implications of Being Vegan [11:15 - 15:29] Allow Yourself to Dream then Plan Realistically [15:30 - 19:10] Habit-Building: Working with It, not Against It [19:11 - 22:18] Biting the Bullet of False Starts via Consistency [22:19 - 25:38] The Dangers of Over-Celebrating Small Wins [25:39 - 32:51] The Virtue of Listening to Your Body [32:52 - 38:39] Closing Segment Key Quotes “It's about something bigger than ourselves. And it's not even about the team or the individual. It's the passion, that we have a message out there of compassion, as a collective.” - Giacomo Marchese “Some of the bad habits will just disappear, some of them will stick. And as you discover which one to stick in, you start to ask yourself, why you look at your look at, like, what's triggering that, and you do a little bit of that work. But good habits are simple. And it starts with the basics.” - Giacomo Marchese “Sometimes when you're a little too flexible, you start to make excuses for yourself. And it can be hard to get out of that kind of cycle. So if you say to yourself, like my goal is not negotiable, then the logical process is that you will find a path to get there that won't consume you. And it will be a healthy path. And you'll still get the same exact results, probably better because you won't be stressed out.” - Giacomo Marchese Connect with Giacomo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/musclesbybrussels/ (https://www.instagram.com/musclesbybrussels/) https://www.veganproteins.com/ (https://www.veganproteins.com/) Plant Built Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/PlantBuilt/ (https://www.instagram.com/PlantBuilt/) https://www.plantbuilt.com/ (https://www.plantbuilt.com/) https://www.veganstrong.com/ (https://www.veganstrong.com/) About me My name is Maxime Sigouin; I am the founder of Fit Vegan Coaching and the Fit Vegan Blueprint program's creator.

If there's one thing I've learned over the past few months of working with Giacomo and Dani on the new program, it's this: To gain muscle and burn fat, workouts and strength training are just a small piece of the puzzle. The much larger -- and often overlooked -- piece is nutrition. Or more specifically, how to manage macronutrients for your specific body type and goals. See, Giacomo Marchese and Dani Taylor know this well. They're 15-plus-year vegans, champion bodybuilders, and they’ve literally helped thousands of clients transform their bodies by building muscle and shedding fat on a plant-based diet. And today, we brought them on the podcast to talk about doing just that.
Giacomo Marchese is a successful natural bodybuilder and coach, but he wasn’t always the epitome of perfect health. After discovering the sport of bodybuilding at a young age, Giacomo became severely anorexic, forcing him to step away from competitions for several years. After overcoming his eating disorder and harnessing a healthier mindset around food and exercise, Giacomo eventually made his way back to what he loves and now coaches others in bodybuilding and general weight loss and fitness. His secret weapon? Sleep, hydration, and a plant-based diet! In this episode we discuss: - Giacomo’s struggle with anorexia. - How to get enough protein (spoiler, everything has protein) - Society’s misplaced obsession with macronutrients - Giacomo recommends a blend of pea and rice for the optimum, easy-to-digest protein powder. - Giacomo’s go-to meals - Dinner: Baked potato, Beyond Meat burger patty, side of broccoli - Breakfast: Bowl of oats with fresh fruit - Giacomo’s tips to lose weight on a vegan diet: - Get enough sleep (7 - 9 hours) - Hydration is crucial (¾ - 1 ½ gallons, daily) - Eat plenty of vegetables - Keep a food journal - Follow and support Giacomo on Instagram @muslesbybrussels and visit his website, Veganproteins.com Connect with Switch4Good https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2toqAmlQpwR1HDF_KKfGg https://www.facebook.com/Switch4Good/ https://www.instagram.com/switch4good/ https://twitter.com/SwitchForGood switch4good.org

In this episode, I interview the team captain, and cofounder of the vegan physique team known as Plantbuilt, Giacomo Marchese. With 5 first place wins in the bodybuilding and the bikini divisions, and nearly every team member placing, vegans have created a very strong impression in the fitness community. Could this event possibly proved that in order to get the BEST natural physique, will athletes who are not vegan be as a disadvantage? We discuss this in the show. Find out how 15+ vegan contestants did, and how the sport of natural bodybuilding will never ever be the same. Also find out what the future of Plantbuilt looks like and how you can get involved. Giacomo, good friends with Robert Cheeke, was one of the first raw vegan bodybuilding competitors and was featured in Robert Cheeke's book, Vegan Bodybuilding and Fitness.
