Eating flexi-vegan for 18 months.
Since 18 months I am a vegetarian. I also stopped eating dairy when possible. So that makes me a flexi-vegan.
Veganism is not about ideological purity, it is the effort that matters. It is all about doing your best of making the world more tolerable for all species.
Eating lots of fruits, vegetables and nuts did not make me lose weight though. The Weight Watchers did.
Here are some pro's of eating flexi-vegan:
- I think it is cheaper, no need to buy expensive meat anymore
- Cooking is cleaner, no more fears for salmonella
- Fruits and vegetables don't get over its date as soon as meat
- Frozen vegetables are ideal to keep in stock: so no need to do groceries that often
- Cooking is easier
- The kitchen does not smell anymore
Now if you also stop eating lots of sugar, transfats and refined products, you will notice your shape will improve.
Even when you are old, like me.
