I'm contemplating going vegan for a month to see how my body will react. I don't find not eating meat difficult at all; I hate eating meat. The problem is I never get enough protein in my diet and I tend to lose weight rapidly. I think I can fix this now that I understand nutrition a lot better.
Worth a shot as long as you're careful. :)
They make vegan protein powder
Yep! I got me some today to start it off right. 🤓
As someone currently struggling with getting enough protein, I get it. Have you ever tried going vegetarian or vegan before?
I have, yes! I lost a bunch of weight and muscle I didn’t want to lose, but I was pretty uneducated about diet back then. So, I think this time will be much better.
Don’t feel bad if your body still loses weight and muscle. My body much prefers animal proteins. I’ve done vegetarian on occasion, usually when I don’t know what to expect in a catered meal. But vegan was bad. I did that for over a month and was sick the whole time.
I just wasn’t eating enough, especially as someone who goes to the gym. We’ll see how it goes this time around. I hope it goes well because most meat gives me the ick.
Come to think of it, the only meat I really enjoy is beef.
The food I ate today was a filet mignon. It was the first thing I’ve actually had a craving for.
