Cam. F. Awesome (yes that's his real name!) is indeed awesome. I met Cam through former Herbie of the week, Ami . Cam is such an inspiration and living proof that plants mean power. Cam is an amateur boxer and taking names!
1. How long have you been an athlete? Plant-based? How'd you hear about a plant-based diet and what motivated you to make the switch?
I have been a plant-based athlete since June of 2012. Bill Mackey became my client at my boxing gym and started training for a fight. His wife is part of the Engine 2 Team. At 45, he was 225 lbs. and due to his plant-based diet, he put on muscle and dropped fat at an amazing pace with little recovery time needed. He attributed it to his plant-based diet.
2. What moved you to a plant-based diet?
I was in a dark place in my life and decided to change my life around, starting with my diet. The Mackeys were a big influence on this decision and helped me learn all about it.
p.s. Cam heads to the USA National Amateur Boxing Tournament on March 30th in Spokane, WA boxing for a chance to win the national title and represent the USA on the International boxing team!!
Update: July 13, 2013
Cam just won his 5th Gold. He's now 19-0.
