Who STILL thinks you can’t build muscle without meat?

News flash: You can. 

I’m John Thomas and I’ve been bodybuilding for 18 years and vegan for 20. I was once told that I would never be able to build muscle without meat, but look where I’m at today.

And not just me, but my whole vegansquadcoaching team and all of our clients. 

It IS possible to build muscle as a vegan - if you use the correct protein sources.

By that, I mean Tofu, Seitan, Edamame, TVP, Tempeh, etc. 

Not seeds, beans, nuts, oats, and peanut butter.

Those are carb/fat sources - not main plant protein sources.

If you wanna learn how to build muscle as a vegan, my cookbook would be the first step. 
There’s 30+ high protein vegan recipes in there that are simple, easy, and delicious!

Comment “COOKBOOK” and I’ll send it your way. 💪🌱
