“There needs to be that right composition and protein is important not to the extent that the meat industry promotes it, you don't need that much.

“If you try to have 100% compliance, because every time there's a failure, people tend to go backwards, which makes the process so much longer than if you're just trying to stay compliant 80% of time, right? So that percentage number is just about setting yourself up for success or for failure.” -  Maxime Sigouin

Welcome to The Fit Vegan Podcast, I’m your host, Maxime Sigouin! Today, I will be talking about the dangers of the either 0% or 100% mindset with the actions we make and how showing up consistently without necessarily being at a 100% is far better than quitting. It is not uncommon for those on the journey towards transformation acquiring the feeling of inadequacy and falling deeper to such a mentality, but by embracing discomfort and loving the process, it is possible to make the steps more doable and failures more bearable for us.

[26:18 - 27:25] Closing Segment

Key Quotes

“You know what, I just need to take imperfect action and adjust along the way, which I believe is one of the really critical skills in order to be successful.” -  Maxime Sigouin

“Therefore, by definition, you have to change in order for these things to change. [Having] training and nutrition is just a symptom of who you are - your thought patterns, your belief and your value system. And so if we want to have this outcome, you have to change in order for you to change some of those.Those thought patterns, belief systems, values have to change. And that's something that's really hard to take on. But that's what's needed in order to be successful in a transformation.” -  Maxime Sigouin

“It's important to focus on listening to your body, think about how it's responding, and what you're getting out of it. It's really easy to be inspired by other people, and to think that that's gonna work for you. And it's the person, it's problematic when you're inspired by one person's process, because their path is probably different than yours. And also their bodies are different from yours.” - Giacomo Marchese

Welcome to The Fit Vegan Podcast, I’m your host, Maxime Sigouin! Today, we are with Giacomo Marchese from VeganProteins.com as he discusses some practical tips to adhere to on our way to creating our New Year’s Resolutions.

Key Quotes

“It's about something bigger than ourselves. And it's not even about the team or the individual. It's the passion, that we have a message out there of compassion, as a collective.” - Giacomo Marchese

“Some of the bad habits will just disappear, some of them will stick. And as you discover which one to stick in, you start to ask yourself, why you look at your look at, like, what's triggering that, and you do a little bit of that work. But good habits are simple. And it starts with the basics.” - Giacomo Marchese

“Sometimes when you're a little too flexible, you start to make excuses for yourself. And it can be hard to get out of that kind of cycle. So if you say to yourself, like my goal is not negotiable, then the logical process is that you will find a path to get there that won't consume you. And it will be a healthy path. And you'll still get the same exact results, probably better because you won't be stressed out.” - Giacomo Marchese

“Part of the therapy that I teach to reverse chronic diseases, we need those carbs for mental endurance as well as physical endurance.” - Nicolette Richer

“I think the missing key for a lot of people is that it's [goal] not in alignment with who they are and what they actually want. And that's why it's hard because they're doing things in a way that's not aligned with how they want to approach life. And then once you've found that way, then yes, it'll require effort, but it'll be smooth, and it'll flow.” - Maxime Sigouin

“Believe in yourself and invest in yourself. Because you are gonna feel great if you follow the program… Believe in yourself and trust the process. And if you believe in yourself, others will believe in you.” - Gordon Heron

Welcome to The Fit Vegan Podcast, I’m your host, Luckie Sigouin! Today, I welcome Gordon Heron to talk about his incredible transformation after joining The Fit Vegan Blueprint, his fears when joining, the most surprising lessons learned, and his experience.

Gordon Heron is a self-described addict of health and wellness. After joining The 21-Day Challenge, and enjoying it, he sought out more intense challenges that could keep him on his feet. He happened to win Luckie’s birthday giveaway last June and got to join The Fit Vegan Blueprint program full time.

Key Quotes

“The difficulty that I face if I aim for perfection is that you're never going to achieve perfection all the time. So then all of a sudden, your mind thinks you failed. So actually, it's not going to be so much of a problem if you don't work quite as hard the next time. So I think the fact that [the program] is structured in a way that there are lots of small wins, and you're not shooting for the moon straight away, but you're doing it in stages is very methodical and organized.” - Gordon Heron

“The biggest difference is the focus that [the program] has given me. I'm so focused on the workouts, I'm focused on the plan, and focused on the end goal.” - Gordon Heron 

“I'm trying to improve myself so that I'm a better person for my family first, and then my friends.” - Gordon Heron

“I want people to understand the importance of science. We live in a world now where there's a lot of mistrust, but I honestly believe that science is the only way out of all of the confusion and misinformation that exists. I'm not saying that science is perfect. We actually need to do science better, but science is integral to sorting through the world's problems.” - Simon Hill

Welcome to The Fit Vegan Podcast, I’m your host, Luckie Sigouin! Today, I am speaking with Simon Hill as we bust vegan myths! From confusions about protein intake to iron-related myths, we are going to address all of that today. Simon Hill is a Physiotherapist and Nutritionist who is passionate about making nutritional information simple and accessible so that people can make informed decisions about the food they feed themselves and their families. In 2008, Simon completed a Bachelor of Physiotherapy and immediately began working as a Sports Physiotherapist in Melbourne both at a leading private practice and with professional AFL & VFL footballers.

Over the years, however, Simon became increasingly curious about the role nutrition played in nourishing the body and preventing disease. By using his research skills developed during his honors degree, Simon dove deep into the available literature on nutrition & disease and soon became fascinated by the vast evidence out there that proved that simple lifestyle changes could help people prevent and sometimes even reverse many of the leading chronic diseases that plague the western world today.

After undertaking a Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate and a post-graduate degree in Nutrition, Simon set up plantproof.com and began hosting world-renowned doctors and public figures, such as Neurologist's Dean & Ayesha Sherzai, MD, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, MD, Dr. David Katz, MD, Environmental Researcher Nicholas Carter, Climate Scientist Dr. Jonathon Foley, and Ultra-Athlete Rich Roll on the Plant Proof podcast.

Key Quotes

“Unless you're eating a diet that has almost no diversity or a diet that is severely calorie- and protein-restricted, then you have absolutely no worries on a completely plant exclusive diet, that you will be consuming adequate amounts of all of those nine essential amino acids.” - Simon Hill

“It's not as though you need to do some sort of creative accounting and calculation every meal to ensure that you have all nine essential amino acids in perfect amounts, it doesn't work like that. All you need to do is focus on consuming a plant-based diet that has a good amount of diversity – you're eating fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains, lots of different colors, and you will be getting all of the amino acids that you require.” - Simon Hill

“If you include soy in your diet, at levels that are in line with what traditional soy consumption is, whether you're female or male, it's a healthy inclusion in your diet. But at the same time, soy is also not a
