Someone has to be the “world’s hottest vegan”, and it appears that the title belongs to Ferdinand Beck. Beck is a talented and popular vegan blogger and athlete from Germany whose life changed forever when he stopped consuming meat and dairy. Today, he has more than half a million followers across four Instagram accounts (Vegains, Vegainstrength, Vegainsfood, and Vegan Savage). He also two YouTube accounts (one in German, one in English) and two podcasts (likewise). He also has two ebooks on nutrition and training and a selection of merchandise. He even released rap singles under his Vegains alias. To say he’s got it covered feels like an understatement.
As a teenager, Beck suffered from low self-esteem, not helped by acne and a frail physique. All of that changed when he became a vegan. He put on weight, his skin cleared up, and he began to feel much better about himself. By 2017, he was being dubbed the “world’s hottest vegan” by the Daily Mail newspaper, and his social media followed increased exponentially. He has more than 50,000 subscribers to his two YouTube channels, which feature lifestyle content and interviews with healthcare professionals about everything from the effects of meat-eating to letting go of trauma.
Beck has reaped the benefits of his diet, and now through his multiple, multilingual social media channels, he is inspiring hundreds of thousands of other people all over the world to do the same.
