I always found the problem with January challenges or New Year’s Resolutions is that they’re too rigid.
That’s why I always avoided them.
That was, until I joined in with Veganuary five years ago.
What is Veganuary?
But after switching to a plant-based diet for several weeks, I felt better in myself.
I was sleeping better, didn’t bloat as much after food, and had more energy than before.
I also found it easier to make other small adjustments now that I felt better rested.
The biggest concern people have about a plant-based diet protein wasn’t a problem either.
And I wasn’t noticeably more tired, less motivated or more easily fatigued during exercise.
Of course, there are times that processed food like this is really helpful.
And that’s where these alternatives slot in for me.
But at home, I buy plenty of vegetables, making sauces, and add tofu into stir fries.
How do you take part in Veganuary?
Although I switched to a vegan diet after, you should do what feels right for you.
