My perception of Vegans before I became vegan

that you can be a champion boxer and be a vegan.

i don't think there's many Muslim vegans around.

Some people think it's pretty weird to be vegan,

I just think it's going to save the world.

like, I think it's from cow farts of something.

Hi I'm Amanda Brewer,  I'm a stay at home mum.

My husband and I have three kids and three dogs

and it's a traditional Australian looking pantry.

I thought that with having my children and breastfeeding,

animal products were something that I needed.

I came across information from very credible sources,

so I can't eat chicken, so I can't eat cheese.

it wasn't until Amanda was asking me, watch this documentary Cowspiracy.

Animal agriculture - raising and killing animals for food

So from then on, I was like, I can't do that anymore.

Guys, who wants to help me feed the dogs?

and it's a very scientifically planned well-balanced diet.

We did the research into, is this cruel? Not giving our dogs meat.

I know that one of the oldest living dogs in the world

I think children instinctively love animals.

and so for her she's become this fierce crusader.

and I was like, but that's an animal's life!

because you've got to keep your preachiness in check.

Sometimes people don't want to sit next to me

because they think it's weird that I'm vegan.

Some people think I'm going to die when I'm 11.

I might become the longest living person,

There's definitely the misconception out there

I'm the WMC Australian bantam weight champion.

I've been vegan for about a year and a half now.

Since going vegan I won my Australian title.

I didn't think that would happen, going vegan, but it has.

I think there's so much dogma in the fitness industry

that you need excessive amounts of protein

and that protein has to come from animal sources.

Personally I have found that by eating more carbs

that I've been better able to build muscle.

A lot of people say it's because of the high antioxidants

in plants, and the high amount of micronutrients as well.

If I have to answer the 'what about protein' question one more time...

This gym has become a bit of a vegan hub.

are performing well, and they're really strong and fit

and people are asking them, what do you eat,

people are quite inspired by that, I think.

and feed it to all the meat-eaters, they're like what is it?

I grew up eatiing a lot of meat, dairy and eggs,

and for dinner it was kebabs most nights.
