Who is Attila Hildmann?

Attila Hildmann was born in West Berlin. He was adopted and grew up with German parents. He started studying physics at the Free University of Berlin but did not finish his degree.
His Journey to Veganism
In 2000, Attila Hildmann's adoptive father passed away from a heart attack. Attila believed this was linked to eating too much meat, which can cause high cholesterol. Fearing a similar health issue and being overweight himself, he decided to change his lifestyle.
He stopped eating meat and fish. He also started exercising regularly. These changes helped him lose 35 kilograms (about 77 pounds). Over time, he began to avoid almost all animal products and became mostly vegan.
Becoming a Cookbook Author
In 2009, Attila Hildmann published his very first vegan cookbook. Just a few years later, in 2012, his book Vegan for Fun received an award. It was named the cookbook of the year by Vegetarierbund Deutschland, which is the German branch of the International Vegetarian Union.
Attila Hildmann has also appeared in many YouTube videos. He has been a guest on several television programs and talk shows. These include popular shows like Maischberger, TV total, and Volle Kanne on ZDF. He also appeared on Nachtcafé on SWR and daheim + unterwegs on Westdeutscher Rundfunk. In March 2016, he was a contestant on the TV show Let's Dance. In April 2017, he took part in the TV show Schlag den Star where he competed against Luke Mockridge.
