Veganism is increasingly favored by people across the world as it reportedly offers many health benefits and cruelty-free food. However, fitness enthusiasts often worry that a plant-based diet could not promise sufficient protein uptake. But Norwichs Paul Kerton, a bodybuilding icon is promoting a vegan lifestyle without compromising on fitness goals.

The 49-year-old turned to veganism back in 2012 and is still going strong. He finds himself more energetic and considers switching to veganism as the best decision of his life. Now, he counters an Australian National University study which states that men are generally reluctant to turn to veganism as they consider meat-eating manly.

Kerton reiterates that meat will not make one manly. Before embracing veganism, the bodybuilders major protein intake, a whopping 500g, came from animal sources. I was going through 500g of animal protein a day. It was crazy amounts, he says. Influenced by his partner, Gemma, he took to veganism a decade ago and finds this new lifestyle more befitting. I feel amazing now. I got into the best shape of my life, he asserts. Revealing how his health improved after turning vegan, he said to the DailyMail, I feel so energized. My eyesight is twice as strong. I have a new lease of life.

Promoting his lifestyle, Kerton says, You can be big and strong and manly and be healthy and fit and we dont have to eat animals. The motto to opt for a plant-based diet came after he realized that meat eating could lead to severe health problems. I didnt want to be the cause of my own death, opens up the vegan bodybuilder.
