(137 posts)there are some challenges that over the course of time, a newly aspiring vegan will be confronted with.
Eating out with family or friends.
Lack of vegan options on menus.
Holiday family get-togethers.
Traveling and trying to find vegan options can be nearly impossible at times.
There are a few hurdles from time to time.
-AND-
Most vegans will have a time where they 'fall off the wagon' for a day or two.
What drives them back to veganism?
I've been a strict vegan for the past 7 years. I've tried meat a couple of times over that span. When I ate meat, I felt like shit afterwards.
Health and the feeling of good well-being is what keeps me honest and on an organic plant-only diet.
It's very common for a new vegan to 'stumble' given the many hurdles that a new vegan will be confronted with.
Just the transformation of gut microbes, beneficial bacteria, removal of meat caused gut parasites can cause much weird indigestion problems in the first few days that a person attempts to eat a pure plant-based diet. This alone can cause many to fail when they attempt to transform to vegan eating.
That's just it. It is a whole body transformation that will have a rocky start. That indigestion is plant food pissing off the bad meat loving parasites and microbes. After a few days, they die off and are removed from the body if a person just sticks it out.
I always tell people to try vegan for 7 days and see how you feel after 7 days. Do you then want to go back?
