    Sort of fitness related.... I'm transitioning.


    ....to a plant-based diet. After 3 or 4 years of being pescetarian (vegetarian + occasional fish), I'm dropping the dairy and eggs and fish (though it will take a while to get used to avoiding all animal additives, which is why I'm saying it's a transitional thing). I like it so far. Once I dropped dairy, within a week, my skin looked crazy good (no more breakouts). It's been about two weeks into the transition, and it's surprisingly easy. Cheese was an obstacle and a logical inconsistency that I ignored for years, so it has actually felt good to get past that, and I'm having fun looking for alternatives (nut cheese lolol). Cowspiracy and the resulting reading/research I did finally pushed me over the edge. It's a documentary about the environmental impact of animal agriculture, and if the suffering of farmed animals doesn't affect you, the climate change aspect probably will (or should?).

    My biggest obstacle has been tempering my excitement so that I don't overshare and seem "preachy." Even though I do think the planet would greatly benefit from everyone eating less meat. ANYWAY.

    Let the hate (and worrying about muh proteins) begin. ;)
    This makes me so happy :))

    I went vegan for ethical reasons bt the health benefits (both physical n mental) have been a huge bonus. I have so much energy on this lifestyle/diet. If you have time for a bit more research this presentation is one of my absolute favourites. Its an easy watch and non-confrontational. Kinda hav a huge crush on the speaker too xD Just curious do u intend on watching more documentaries (Earthlings, Forks over Knives, Blackfish etc)? I find that when ppl go vegan (or plant based) for the ethics its very easy to stick to but when it's about yourself and/or health you end up slipping and bingeing.

You can eat yo Spirulina, but its low tier protein. I guess you do what you can with what you got, should be fine. I was even thinking of going vegetarian during my weight loss period (vegan, even with the exception of my protein shake.)

    I've followed this guy for a while. He's a vegan bodybuilder. If your still open-minded check out his channel n ask him questions. I really enjoy watching his abs arms body vlogs.

    EDIT: Also just got back from a morning gym sesh -1hr-ish running on the treadmill, 1/2 hr kickboxing, 15-20 mins resistance n stretching. Diet-wise Ive been drinking alot of my foods (fruit vege smoothies) cause its been so hot the last few days with the odd shower here n there #bipolarweather Im sick of it.
