Well this is weird. I never believed I would say this. But....I am (trying) to go vegan! Trust me, if you had to think of someone who would never make the switch, it would be me. I worked at a Chick-fil-A for six years. They SLAY the chicken game (and I mean literally.)
Why am I doing this? To be cool?
No.
The past few months I have been feeling sluggish after eating. Being in college, working, trying to find time to have a social life, work out, and eat healthy is hella hard. So eating on the go is usually my go to option.
After doing some research about our meat and cheese in America, I was shocked. I had no idea the kinds of things they do to our animals. Eating a plant-based diet does wonders for your health. I know that meats and dairy have lots of important nutrients and things in them, but so does veggies, fruits, nuts, and oats. There are many viable ways of getting what my body needs from a plant-based diet.
So why not give it a try?
It is going to be hard - I know this. I have been eating meat/dairy for 22 years! And boy oh boy do I love cheese...probably more than chicken. I know that dairy will be the hardest for me to give up, but I will try. This change isn't going to happen overnight, I don't expect it to! But by slowly educating myself on veganism and the proper way to make my body healthy, I think this change will be amazing.
This blog will be dedicated to my journey. I also plan to share with you my grocery hauls, some meals I make, etc. Note: I AM NEW TO THIS! So any tips or advice are always appreciated.
Until next time,
-Melissa
