Here I share why I went vegan, what veganism means to me, and why I've remained on the lifestyle for as long as I have.

if i’m not mistaken, i believe you made a video about 9 years ago on why you went vegan and that was my first time even hearing about veganism & i immediately made the decision that i wanted to be vegan. i have been vegan for 8yrs now, thank you ❤

It took me decades to change my diet. I gave up red meat and pork when I was 23 and slowly phased out other items. I've been vegetarian and pescatarian and didn't make the full transition until 3 years ago in my early 50s after trying a few times and failing. I feel amazing and wish I made the switch in my 20s. Thanks for sharing.

hey! when i went vegan, it had more frequent and easy bowel movements (most of the time they didn’t smell), my menstrual cycle was light and short, i didn’t have PMS, and it was on time every month. my hair was growing and my skin was clear. also, my energy was high, i was doing yoga everyday and working out maybe 4-5 days a week. my sleep was better. i was battling ovarian cysts and fibroids from childbearing and when i wasn’t vegan/plant based. now that I’m not vegan, all of these statements are no longer true for me. i’m slowly working my way towards veganism/plantbased. i find that my mind, body and spirit benefits from being vegan/plantbased.

I just went vegetarian and it has been good so far. I do it for health. I’ve always been a healthy eater and the first thing I let go was Pork after that it got easier. I just started juicing as well, and I absolutely love it. I am a very active individual in the gym and I have a bachelor’s degree in nutrition. Being vegetarian is something I want to make a lifestyle. Thanks for sharing your story with us♥️

Im a 50 yr old woman with elevated lipoprotein little a☹️ Heart doctor told me I could eat just lettuce everyday and it wouldn’t change it. He said it’s genetics. Heart disease and strokes run in my family ☹️ Ive been on blood pressure medicine for 24 yrs and now cholesterol meds. Im having some muscle tightness and nerve issues. Its scary. Im trying to eat more just plant base now reading all the facts. Ive been told Im loosing muscle mass in menopause now😳( of course why not more) I want to make sure I’m eating enough protein and getting enough vitamins being on plant base. I may have to keep taking the cholesterol meds, not sure. Im trying to find a simple way to get proper amounts of vitamins and minerals and not have to eat so much. Is that crazy🤔🤪 Love all your information. ❤Christy from Va

It's okay to love meat, but just know that you may not live as long as you were created to. Meat eating people live 10 to 20 years shorter lives than vegetarians and vegans. They are also more likely to be overweight, unhappy, and sick in the last years of their life. If you eat meat regularly. Replacing all your meat and dairy for just one week with nuts, dates, salads, lentils, plant-based meats, and healthy bread/toast will increase your life span. After about two weeks, you will start realizing that you don't need it. You will spend less money on food and you will start looking at everything differently.

I’m a processed vegan want and need to go raw vegan. I have had some of the same issues plus more starting from a child. I had to get an emergency hysterectomy from the cyst fibroids hypothyroidism I call the fat disease that developed after I had my only child. Not sure why the hospital didn’t take care of it but 22 years later I almost died from bleeding every day after childbirth and that’s when I was told no more red meat which was easy didn’t really ate meat but fish.
