Became vegan to heal from RA

I’ve been vegan since birth—and I love it. 43 years and counting.

i went on a 20 hour road/camping trip with my girlfriend and had seen a few vegan documentaries and watched a bunch of youtube videos beforehand and decided for the trip i won't eat meat just to see what it's like. I think i ended up eating completely vegan for the trip by default. the trip lasted 10 days and it was easy and i felt great. I never declared myself vegetarian after that, i just naturally continued not eating meat. (i actually had a bunch of chicken in my freezer that i just left there for months, that i eventually gave away to a friend who visited me ). That lasted for about a year before i decided to fully take the plunge and completely take out eggs and dairy from my diet and make a conscious effort to no longer support anything associated with animal abuse.

I became vegan on July 17 2017 after watching the documentary what the health. Seeing the way the animals are treated and the impact it's having on the environment, I chose to be more environmentally cautious about my choices in food.

I first learned about the vegan movement and the incredible benefits of a whole food plant based diet around 2016, whilst performing research for my PhD in organic chemistry. At first I was very resistant to the idea that a vegan diet could be a good choice, but over time, I came to see just how powerful a vegan lifestyle was, and I felt compelled to embrace veganism from an ethical standpoint. The health and athletic side effects have been incredible, leading to my losing 50lbs and feeling better than ever.

I now use my scientific training in chemistry and food science, as well as my experience cooking incredible whole food vegan meals to advocate for the adoption of a healthy, mind-blowingly tasty vegan lifestyle.

Veganism became a way to live a healthy and vibrant life

I went vegan after meeting a woman at a wedding that was being catered by a BBQ place. She wasn't eating anything so I inquired why. Over the next couple hours, she introduced me to veganism and I went vegetarian the next day. Over the following month, I researched, purchased cookbooks and generally became informed. That was 4 years ago and it was the best decision I've ever made.

I would like to regenerate inner tune, with my spiritual self, fill my power more.

I am working on switching my diet.

I’ve wanted to go vegan since I was a teenager, but didn’t feel it was possible for me because I have struggled with iron and zinc deficiency since menarche, due to heavy menstrual bleeding.

But when I finally gave the oil-free, whole-foods-plant-based diet it a try for three months, my menstrual cycle became so much lighter I couldn’t believe it! I’m overjoyed. 😁

I went veg in 1991 when pregnant with my 4th child and I realized that eating dead animals was disgusting. After that I would eat eggs maybe once a month, cheese on occasion, and a tablespoon of plain yogurt almost every day. Finally I stopped the yogurt and realized that I felt less sleepy after eating. More recently I've realized that I feel better eating raw food but seem to be still addicted to cooked.

Hi we’re Foodnerd, and we create positively processed food with a purpose.

The current food supply is in disarray. Out of the top 25 food manufacturers, 86% of products are considered ULTRA-PROCESSED.

In addition, more than half of the Standard American Diet (SAD) consists of processed foods. As a result, the majority of Americans are not receiving the proper amount of micronutrients.

We are shaping the future of food by harnessing the power of positive processing and plant-based ingredients.

Our process allows us to maintain and/or increase the nutritional content found naturally in food - rather than degrade it. All while not sacrificing taste.

Research after Breast Cancer led me to transition to a primarily WFPB diet.

I become a veggie at the of the year but then very quickly moved on to be a Vegan and have loved every moment since.

I have been eating meat all my life and have health issues I want to try a vegan lifestyle but don’t know if I can or where to began

I've been vegan for over a decade now, and I'm not looking back!

beijing

I don't actually remember the date but it was quite awhile back. I did it for the animals.

Veg since 1983 plant based vegan since 2011. I teach yoga, practice non violence and like 🥑 . Public speaker about yoga, pain free alignment, & compassion.

I lost my father for a problem related to his heart. My reaction has been studying everything I could put my eyes on to understand why that happended as he was in good health apparently. My conclusion was that if my father would have eaten vegan (or more vegan) he could've still been here. After that I decided to go vegetarian and after one here when I kept studying I discovered more and more also about ethical issues and sustainability so I went vegan. In these 8 years I volounteered with several nonprofit organizations that fight for animal rights

I transitioned after my first marathon in NYC eating everything and found that it helped my performance recover better. After having read the scientific literature, I was convinced to stay on it and be a role model for others. Now, with the education, I use it to teach others how to transition and how to better THRIVE with it.
