My first week being vegan 🌱

My first week being vegan.

Good day everyone, I hope you are having an excellent week so far. Today is exactly one week since I started my vegan challenge, which is basically that during the whole month of July I will only consume vegan food. I was a vegetarian in the past for years, so it is not that difficult for me, but certainly being vegan requires more demanding and discipline, in the same way I have taken it as a great experience that has allowed me to know much more about what I am ingesting and also on my own body.

This week I have considerably increased my fruit consumption compared to previous weeks. I have also been eating at least three times more vegetables and greens, which makes me quite happy because I know that it is quality food that I am giving to my body. A couple of days I have also allowed myself to make delicious things, such as a vegan cake that I made and also an ice cream that I made with only bananas, strawberries and soy milk. The options are many and I am enjoying this experience immensely.

This challenge that I am doing for the month of July is something that I had pending for a long time, but what really motivated me to do it is for a health issue because my triglycerides were quite high. I hope that after this great change in my diet, where not only have I been increasing my consumption of fruits and vegetables, but I have also considerably reduced the consumption of sugars and flour, changes can be observed.

I still do not know if I will end up extending this challenge, but for now I am quite enjoying it. I think that once the month is over I will probably try mixing what my previous lifestyle was with this one now, and eventually I will find a balance and lean more towards healthy, green, which is what I really want.

For my part, I will continue researching and trying new recipes that I will surely share with all of you. I hope you have a great week. Until next time.

Andy.
