Natalie Matthews joins hosts John Thomas The BodybuildingVegan and Brooke Sellers Miss Meatless Muscle on the Vegans Who Lift Podcast. Natalie Matthews was born and raised on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, and she has always shown an interest in living a healthy and active lifestyle. She began surfing competitively at a professional level at the age of sixteen. Professional surfing required a level of athleticism and commitment that sparked his interest in living a healthier lifestyle. Her athletic pursuits, combined with other life-altering events, inspired her to become a compassionate, cruelty-free vegan known to the world as Fit Vegan Chef.

Natalie Matthews was born and raised on the beautiful Island of Puerto Rico, and has always shown an interest in living a healthy and active lifestyle. She began surfing competitively at a professional level at the age of sixteen. Professional surfing required a level of athleticism and commitment that sparked her interest in living a healthier lifestyle. Her athletic pursuits combined with other life altering events inspired her to become a compassionate, cruelty-free, vegan.

Today's guest is an example of how veganism can have a sweeping impact on your whole life. Born on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, Fit Vegan Chef Natalie Matthews began surfing professionally at the age of sixteen. But when she started experiencing hypoglycemia, extreme fatigue and severe acne from dairy consumption, Natalie and her husband George were galvanized to learn the transformational health benefits of a plant-based diet. In just one year they were both thriving and free from illness. A professional bodybuilder and graduate from the Living Light Culinary Institute in California, Natalie has published two eBooks titled Puerto Vegan Cookbook and Fit Vegan Kitchen.  Super excited to discuss her many accomplishments, how a plant-based diet has transformed her life, and the myriad ways she strives to inspire others to make positive changes in their own lives! “Having some muscle tissue is gonna improve your fat loss journey. If you have a lot more muscle tissue you can eat more, it's easier to burn fat, and you're going to see some shape when you lose that fat. You know, I often get people that are like ‘oh, I lost all this weight and I really don't like how I feel or look still.' And I'm like, ‘that's because you don't have any muscle underneath.' So, people are so afraid to get in there in the weights, and I know it can be very intimidating, but, if you combine that with a good diet you can do some serious damage. It's gonna be amazing!” - Natalie Matthews What we discuss in this episode: Her dietary background and evolution. How a vegan diet improved her health, her surfing, and other remarkable benefits she and her husband experienced. How she transitioned to bodybuilding and thrived on a vegan diet. An explanation of macronutrients and Natalie's favorite protein sources. Advice on how to change your body composition. Details of her training regimen. Her favorite meal after a show. How she veganized her favorite recipes from her childhood. Her favorite snacks.
