Welcome to your journey to adapting a sustainable healthy lifestyle through VEGANISM! The goal is to create habits full of love, joy, and ease that will last a lifetime. WARNING: THIS IS NOT A FAD DIET. notice the vegan chocolate chunk ice cream pictured to the left ;) If you are interested in going vegan solely for a quick fix or fast weight-loss then stop right now! I am all about SUSTAINABILITY in fitness and diet. Whatever your specific goals may be, the only time I’ve seen true success in fitness, weight-loss, fat-loss, dietary changes etc, is by developing habits, creating a routine, and making health and wellness a part of your lifestyle. 04 FOOD IS FUEL Food fuels our body to do all that it does. It gives us energy to stand on our two feet everyday. To breathe, to live! When we remember that, it’s a lot easier to make nutritious food a part of our daily routine. And that’s why I live a Vegan lifestyle. It helps me to incorporate more whole, unprocessed foods into my diet. When transitioning into a plant-based diet it’s important to be realistic. Yes, I whole-heartedly believe that veganism is the optimal way to live for our health, the planet, and our furry friends, but as someone who ate meat for many years I know first hand that this is a HUGE lifestyle change. My journey started when I gave up red meat at age 18, then I became a pescatarian, then at age 25, I became vegan! I don’t expect you to become vegan overnight and I want you to know that it’s not a competition! Take your time and find out what works best for you. Sustainability remember?! If going vegan all at once isn’t sustainable for you, don’t do it! If nothing else, this will open your eyes to all of the wonderful plant-based meals out there and hopefully move you in the direction of consuming more fruits, veggies and whole grains! WHY VEGANISM? 05 MY STORY I first gave up red meat when I was 18 years old. I never thought it tasted good, I was afraid to even LOOK at raw meat, so I figured why eat it. Plus, I had heard somewhere that it was bad for you. At age 25 my roommate and dear friend was rushed to the hospital after collapsing in pain. Later that evening she was diagnosed with leukemia. How could someone so young, vibrant, and healthy develop cancer? I started doing my research (see resources page), and decided to T R go vegan. A I N My family and friends were curious too. Although my parents W I T have been vegetarian as long as I've known them, I have other H family members who suffered from high cholesterol and blood A M pressure. After going on a whole, plant-based diet, their A N cholesterol went down and they were able to reduce medication. D A J I went vegan for health reasons, but now more than ever, I am A N vegan for health, the health of the planet, and for the health and E well-being of animals. WHY VEGANISM? 06 physical health It's no longer a secret that whole, plant-based diets can be very beneficial for those who want to live an overall healthy lifestyle. Most of the diet contains foods rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and water, making it optimal for feeling freakin' amazing! People who have a diet high in fatty meats and cheeses are at risk of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, obesity, and even constipation. Many people will argue that humans separated ourselves out evolutionarily by eating meat; it developed our brain. While this may be true, we are far enough along in evolution where animal fats are no longer needed for proper nutrition. We can get all we need from plants. Think about it, what does a cow eat? Plants! If you're concerned about eating processed foods, meat is as processed as you can get. Get your nutrients straight from the source! Furthermore, we’re the only mammals that continue to drink milk (a product naturally high in growth hormones) into adulthood. Even beyond that, we’re the only mammals that drink another mammal’s milk! Yuck! Would you drink your mama's breast milk? Nah. So don't drink a cow's breast milk. If you didn't eat meat or dairy for 2 months, your body would adjust to the point that eating it again would most likely make you feel sick. Why would you eat something that your body has to adjust to in order to properly digest? Especially when the benefits of animal products can be found through plants. WHY VEGANISM? 07 planet health Studies are showing that eating a vegan diet is the best way to reduce your carbon footprint and the environmental impact on the earth. Did you know: 50% of water used in the U.S. is used for raising animals for food. 1lb of meat needs 2,400 gallons of water. 1lb of wheat needs 25 gallons of water. Raising animals for food uses 30% of earth's landmass... that's the size of Asia! Eating a vegan diet can reduce CO2 emissions by 1.5 tons per year! WHY VEGANISM? 08 animal health Who are we to decide that dogs and cats can live, but cows, pigs, chickens and fish should die. Valuing one animal's life, taking it and caring for it in our home, but slaughtering and eating another just because we think it tastes good, is speciesism. Did you know: 80% of antibiotics in the U.S. are given to animals that we consume. The CDC estimates 2 million infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria occurring annually. SARs, Corona, Mad Cow Disease, and Bird Flu all originated in animals that humans have consumed. It's not natural for chickens to lay eggs everyday or cows to produce milk. Male chicks are disposed of (chopped up alive) because they're "useless" and can't lay eggs. Calfs are ripped from their mothers, deprived of milk, and slaughtered for veal. Many animals are shocked, slaughtered, and boiled alive. By eating animals, your body shares their trauma. Practice positive energy... eat plants! 09 WILL I BECOME DEFICIENT? One of the most common questions I get when asked about veganism is whether you will be deficient of vital vitamins, minerals, nutrients and the biggie: "where do you get your protein?". If you are eating a nutrient rich and balanced diet full of foods in the essential food groups, you will not be deficient. Below I have listed vegan alternatives to T common nutrients, if you are still worried about deficiencies, consult your R A I primary care provider! As for protein... There is a huge misconception and N W I obsession with protein in our society (propaganda from the meat and dairy T H industry), but the reality is, it’s nearly impossible to have a protein deficiency. A M A A standard diet should consist of 50-60% carbohydrates, 30% fats, and 10% N D protein. Depending on your goals and activity levels, this might fluctuate.

  • WHY VEG A5 Flyer.Indd
    Boycott Cruelty Go Vegan! TURNING ANIMALS INTO FOOD Many people believe (and hope) that animals raised for food for humans must be very well treated because sick, diseased or dead animals would be of no use to agribusiness. But this is not true. FACTORY FARMING= INDUSTRIALISED CRUELTY The pressure to produce inexpensive beef, chicken, pork, veal, fish, eggs, milk and dairy products has led modern farming to treat animals as mere commodities or machines. There is a trend worldwide to replace small family farms with intensive, industrialised, factory farms. The philosophy of mass production is what lies behind it all. “...if the public knew more about the way in which agricultural and animal production infringes on animal welfare, the outcry would be louder.” BERNARD E. ROLLIN, PhD Farm Animal Welfare, Iowa State University Press, 1995. Bernard Rollin is author of more than 150 papers and 10 books on ethics and animal science. Hens in crowded cages suffer severe feather loss. “The life of an animal in a factory farm is characterised by acute deprivation, stress, and disease. Hundreds of millions of animals are forced to live in cages just barely larger than their own bodies. While one species may be caged alone without any social contact, another species may be crowded so tightly together that they fall prey to stress-induced cannibalism… the victims of factory farms exist in a relentless state of distress.” Humane Farming Association: 2 The Dangers of Factory Farming Inside a broiler house. Broiler Chickens Virtually all chickens in Australia raised for meat are factory farmed.

  • How Athletes Are Going Vegan and Staying Strong from Ballerinas to Tennis Champs This Diet Is Way More Than a Trend
    How Athletes Are Going Vegan and Staying Strong From ballerinas to tennis champs this diet is way more than a trend. Jessica Ciencin Henriquez I’ve been dancing since I was 3,” says Juliet Doherty, an 18-year-old ballerina. “When I was training, I was told protein, protein, protein all the time, but I would get so lethargic.” In an effort to increase her stamina, Juliet started eliminating meat from her daily menu little by little and began seeing an improvement. By the time she cut out all animal products, Juliet knew she was onto something. “With a vegan diet, the food is dense nutritionally but not necessarily calorically, so you have to keep eating a lot throughout the day instead of just three heavy meals,” she explains. Juliet credits the continuous consumption of concentrated nutrients for her sustained stamina while en pointe. “When I’m performing or I have long days at the theater, I still feel like I have a lot of energy,” she says with a bounce in her voice. In fact, since going vegan, the talented dancer has added another gold medal to her collection of awards: at the finals in the Youth America Grand Prix, the world’s largest student ballet scholarship competition. Juliet attributes her success to a combination of discipline, communication, and hard work — and becoming a vegan hasn’t hampered her one bit. Judging by the nearly half million Instagram photos tagged #veganathlete and #poweredbyplants, more and more people are beefing up without the beef, and awareness of this plant-filled lifestyle is creeping into the mainstream.
