Welcome to the Blog!

If you’re new to the vegan lifestyle, welcome! While you’re probably feeling excited about this new journey, you may also be feeling somewhat lost when it comes to which foods you can actually eat.

At first glance, a vegan diet may seem incredibly restrictive. But this is far from the truth! A wide variety of plant-based foods is available to vegans. My goal with this post is to help you become familiar with them and hopefully feel a little less overwhelmed.

Plant-based milks have been increasing in popularity thanks to their benefits for the environment, animal welfare, and human health. They can also be a great source of nutrition for vegans, people with lactose intolerance, or people who simply don’t like the taste of dairy milk.

When you think about vegans, what comes to mind? For some, it’s the stereotypical vegan appearance – gaunt, frail, and malnourished with wrinkled, saggy skin.

On the flip side, can a vegan diet help you live longer? In this blog post we’ll discuss vegan diets and the most up-to-date research on how they impact aging.

Many people turn to a vegan diet in an effort to lose weight, so it may seem difficult to gain weight with an exclusively plant-based eating pattern. However, gaining weight on a vegan diet is possible in most cases – you just need to know which foods to focus on.
