I hadn’t developed some deep level of love for animals, and it wasn’t because I was passionate about the environment and wanted to reduce my carbon footprint.
I just wanted to see 1. If I could do it. and 2. What would happen as I did.
To my surprise, by April of that year I felt so unbelievably great, that I took it a step further and stopped eating dairy also. Choosing a vegan lifestyle of eating felt so good that I wish I’d of started earlier in my life. The amount of energy, the clarity of thought, the weight loss, the hair and nail strength & growth, and the clearer skin, was better than any chicken cheesesteak I’d ever had.
I am not a vegan preacher, I don’t support PETA and I have no say in what you choose to do. I am simply sharing my experience and the results I’ve experienced. Nutrition and food education is one of those things you learn more through experience than you do from health class or parents. I simply encourage you to give it a try. I know that my teen and young adult meals were full of processed chicken, pizza, french fries, and the occasional apple. Since flipping that script and making my current meals plant based ones with the occasional order of fries, I feel fantastic and am far more productive.
Have you seen that quote poster that says, “There’s no such thing as junk food; there is junk and there is food.”You know what foods are good for you, eat more of that.[/text_output][/vc_column][/vc_row]
