When I say I am doing a vegan diet in January most people reactions are…
“Why are you doing that?” “What for?” “That’s crazy” “Don’t think you can do it””So what are you going to eat?”
It is scary definitely, and I am having dreams with cheese following me around and craving tuna every day. And no poached eggs on avocado toast?
Alright, what makes a meat-lover flexible-dieter girl to try vegan?
I am curious to see how body reacts, yes. Let’s see if helps my digestion, skin, etc .
Healthiest start of the year possible, hell yeh!
“aims to reduce the suffering of animals by inspiring and supporting people across the globe to go vegan for the month of January”
We can make a difference, doesn’t matter how big or small. It’s just ONE month for now. Who knows in the future, my body and mind might feel amazing in the end! (Yeh my boyfriend is worried ahah)

I just learned about Veganuary and I’m absolutely thrilled this exists! I switched to a vegan diet about a year and half ago. I also only tried for a month at first because I was too scared that I was going to miss foods like cheese and eggs. Within a month, my skin cleared, I lost a little bit of weight, and I felt better than ever! Needless to say I never went back. Being vegan can seem a little bit intimidating at first, but trust me, you won’t be limited in your food choices. There is so much delicious vegan food you can do, you won’t miss the cheese. I just started a blog where I post my favorite vegan recipes if you are interested in making something yummy for your Veganuary challenge 🙂 Good luck!
