#01 Cole Hastings - How Intermittent Fasting was the Catalyst for Change

in #dsound6 years ago (edited)


Cole Hastings (@eightfold_fitness) is currently completing a degree in cognitive science at the University of Buffalo, New York. Cole is also a plant-based bodybuilder and spends his spare time creating YouTube videos about personal development, the importance of eating plant-based and how to get the most out of weight lifting workouts. Cole is a relative newcomer to the plant-based space but his passion for bringing value to his followers is something to be admired.

In this episode, Cole and I discuss a range of topics, including:

  • How a 2-day intermittent fast dramatically improved his workout.
  • How changing to a vegan diet affected his workouts.
  • How he got started on YouTube.
  • Creating and consuming content on YouTube.
  • The types of plant-based foods used to fuel and recover from weight lifting.
  • His take on tracking macronutrients and calories.
  • The protein myth that
    is spread in the weightlifting community.
