Very Vegan

It can’t just be me. I’ve never noticed such a drastic change in eating habits in Kuwait. Eating healthy and being cautious about calorie intake seems to be the buzz.

Since we’re on that note, let me tell you a few things I’ve discovered. At first, I was a little skeptical about going vegetarian or vegan. Why would I cut out meat, or better yet, meat and dairy? These animals are here for us to consume. There’s a cycle in this environment and this is the way it works.

But I realized going vegan doesn’t have to be a lifestyle, it could be a detox phase- to simply better your health. You also begin to appreciate taste more.

I’ve discovered 5 steps of why and how being vegan might be a complete change- to the better, of course. I’d like to share them with my readers.

1. Start slow, like a snail. Cutting out animal products for just two days a week makes a huge difference in your health- and the health of the planet, too. Ease in at a pace that will keep you comfortable. When you start something slowly- you will want to go further next time.
2. Don’t think vegan means boring. All shifts are difficult. A little inspiration won’t harm you. Consuming a totally different range of foods is exciting.
3. Superfoods. You’ll suddenly realize that going vegan provides an opportunity for you to enjoy an abundance of super foods (which are SUPER nutritious) Foods like blueberries, pomegranates, avocado, spinach, and even chocolate are examples of what you can eat. They’re not only delicious, but you’ll realize a huge increase in your flexibility and and overall health.
4. Protein is everywhere. Consume it. We’re under the misconception that protein is only found in meats- but it is found in so many places. Most grains like quinoa, nuts, lentils, and soy are plant based proteins that are nutritious.
5. Know the benefits. Going vegan for just one week boosts your health and generally increases the well being of the planet. You are not only eliminating cholesterol, heart disease and even cancer- but also decreasing pollution gases produces by animal emissions.

If you can do a week, do three days. After that, you will get addicted. Let us know how it went
