Why I Decided to Stay Vegan
I had a very big appetite as a young girl, young adult girl. But how did I stay vegan? A lot of it has to do with partnership. You got to have a tribe. You don't have to, but it's nice to have a tribe of folks or even just one person, because that's all it really is, is one individual. Someone that I'm extremely close with who is also vegan
And by the way, when I use the word b****, it's a term of endearment b****
But I do want to know how you get your protein in. And I know I've read several things like a cup of broccoli is the same amount as 4oz of meat or whatever. So maybe you could talk about how you get your nutrients in and maintain your sides or weight or whatever. Because a lot of vegans that I know, they are super skinny woof. And they don't look guilty. They look very frail. So you got the secret, let me know. Thank you
Stop eating dairy. Like, those are two very big things that you can do relatively easily. A lot of people respond and say, oh, well, I can't do that. I would never give up those things. I love cheese or I love ice cream too much. And it's like, well, that's not the mentality that you need to be in to a lose weight, or B commit yourself to something
I eat a lot of cashews. I eat a ton of pecans, tons of pistachios. I get them already cracked out of the shelf because I eat so many of them. What else do I do? Let me see. I do tempeh. Tempeh is kind of new on the scene when it comes to veganism, but that has a good amount because tempeh and soy are almost the same thing. Like Satan. That se I-T-A-N stuff. That stuff is also made from soybean
There's no more blood going to the brain. Well, not as much. Not as much blood going to the heart. And so you feel extremely sleepy, extremely tired, and that comes from what you're eating. I haven't felt that way seriously in four years. We're like, d***, now I'm ready to go to sleep. No, I just felt like okay, I'm full. That's great, right?
