There are a ton of photos of Washington online. I picked this one from his Instagram account. I like what he said, “That’s right, it’s time to get up and live!” I also like that he’s smiling.
Torre Washington is an engineer (at Honda) and a professional bodybuilder. He’s been vegan since 1998. He takes no performance-enhancing drugs. The all-natural competitions he enters do drug testing. This site says he’s 39 years old as of December 2015.
What does he eat?
How I Fuel Myself With A Plant-Based Diet As A Competitive Bodybuilder, Torre Washington, 21 July 2015
“I could eat beans all day.”
Washington is also a big believer in drinking. Water.
I’ve never cared for the exaggerated musculature of body builders, but I love his shirt “Eat What Elephants Eat”!!! And I admire him for his discipline, both dietary and exercise-wise.

I think, in this man’s particular case, his beauty starts from the inside and works its way out. I love the things he says, like:
His Instagram account is full of kind, grateful, inspirational comments. Just a lovely man.

What impresses me about vegan athletes is they build muscle by eating plants. I think it’s easy to believe that humans need to eat muscle to build muscle. We don’t.

I don’t do instagram, so thanks for that quote–it is lovely. And I totally agree with you re not needing to eat muscle.
