Melbourne-based bodybuilder Rupinder Singh made the switch from vegetarian to vegan for all the right reasons.
His vegan diet and strict exercising schedule helped him win third place in his first ever bodybuilding competition held at Frankston in Melbourne’s south-east.
Vegan is an animal-free diet that has no meat, fish, eggs, or dairy. But can it hamper your progress to become a bodybuilder?
However, Rupinder has an interesting journey to share. "Being vegan doesn’t have to get in the way of your fitness goals," he said. "Moreover, vegan is not only a lifestyle but a journey."
Rupinder Singh came to Australia on a student visa in 2013 from India. He hails from the village of Kup Kalan in the Sangrur district in Punjab.
