Couples figure skater Meagan Duhamel is part of the team that recently picked up four medals at Skate Canada over the weekend.

She and her partner, Eric Radford, brought home a Silver Medal.

Duhame, who’s been a vegan since 2008, credits her plant-based diet for the success she’s achieved in figure skating, including making her a lighter partner to toss in the air.

“I’ve seen a lot of benefits over the years,” Duhamel said. “It’s been almost four years that I’ve been a vegan. I lost a lot of weight at the beginning when I became a vegan and it’s been easily maintained.”

“I never have to try and count my calories or think about what I’m eating, because I’m always eating healthy foods. I sleep better; I have a lot more energy. I have a lot less injuries, my skin is better. I haven’t noticed any negative effects from it.”

Duhamel, who is also training for the 2014 Olympics, fuels up for competition on snacks like ‘homemade bread, pumpkin-apple butter, granola, cookies, trail mixes.”
