5 Important Reasons To Not Be Vegan

(Last Updated On: April 28, 2021)

Veganism nowadays is one of the biggest alternative lifestyle choices people are choosing for a more healthy and happy life. With the meat industry being the biggest cause of environmental degradation, deforestation and pollution more and more people are turning to a more plant-based lifestyle in an effort to live more consciously and in harmony with the earth.
Going vegan is a chance to experience a new lifestyle, make some conscious decisions that benefit the earth, better your health and eat more plants but if these reasons aren’t what motivates you, perhaps you might want to reconsider. While there are several benefits to the vegan or the plant-based lifestyle it isn’t for everyone. From peer pressure to self-loathing, here are 5 important reasons not to be vegan and why the vegan lifestyle might not be the best choice for you.

It’s also important to note that if, after reading this you conclude that the vegan or plant-based lifestyle isn’t for you, that totally ok and you should not feel guilty. As long as you’re making decisions based upon your own health and what’s right for you, it’s not something you have to justify or feel badly about.

YOU’RE DOING IT TO LOSE WEIGHT

One of the main reasons to not be vegan is in order to lose weight. Going vegan or plant-based isn’t a diet, it’s a lifestyle change. No doubt you might lose weight due to the lack of animal fat that is found in plant-based diets but this shouldn’t be your focus. I truly believe that any successful lifestyle change needs to come from a place of wanting to be healthier and do better for the planet rather than thinner.

If you are suffering from an eating disorder or you’re recovering from one, recovery should also be your main focus at this time.

YOU DON’T HAVE TIME

Just like with any change or new endeavour, implementing a new lifestyle takes time. It will take time to learn new recipes and how to ‘veganise’ old ones. Supermarket shops will take longer at first as you read ingredients labels and cooking with unfamiliar ingredients will also take some time to get used to.

If you lead a really busy lifestyle and you don’t have the time needed right now for a whole new lifestyle change then I’d suggest perhaps waiting for a less busy time in your life or a vacation. It’s also worth noting that the vegan lifestyle only takes more time in the beginning. Once you do get used to new products and recipes a vegan lifestyle is no effort at all.

YOU REALLY CAN’T GIVE UP MEAT OR DAIRY

If you feel like you really can’t part with grilled chicken or the odd cheese board, the vegan lifestyle probably isn’t for you but this is nothing to feel guilty about. There really is nothing stopping you from being primarily plant-based with the odd meat, fish or dairy product. Yes, you might not be vegan as such but does that really matter?

The outcome of a lifestyle change should be about overall health and if eating a plant-rich diet with the occasional steak or french toast makes you happy then you should absolutely go with that. Please do not worry about conforming to a certain label.

YOU AREN’T MOTIVATED AND PASSIONATE ABOUT IT

Motivation and passion are what fuel any change and without these is a big reason to not be vegan. There is always a reason behind doing something and making the change towards a vegan lifestyle is no different. Whether it’s for the environment, for the animals or for your health, your reason for going vegan is a very important factor for making the change. This reason acts as your motivation and coming back to why you’re going vegan on days where you feel less motivated than normal can be a lifesaver. At times it might take a bit of perseverance, will-power and drive to say true to yourself and what you want and without motivation and passion, it will be difficult to push through.

If you are looking for an inspiration or motivation I highly recommend the books Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer and In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan as well as the Vegan Society website.

YOU’RE DOING IT FOR SOMEONE ELSE

Similar to the above, it’s much easier to succeed if you have a reason and motivation behind you. While supporting a friend or family member with a new endeavour is fantastic, it probably isn’t the best reason for going vegan yourself, especially if it isn’t really what you want. Always to true to yourself and tap into your passions and motivation for going something.


I hope these reasons not to be vegan have helped you if you’re contemplating the idea of going vegan. If you have any further comments or questions, be sure to leave them below- I’d love to hear from you.

Hotel breakfast or skip the hotel breakfast? ☕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't know about you guys but recently I've been getting into the habit of skipping the less-than-average hotel breakfast and heading out for more local options when travelling. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Of course, hotel breakfasts are super convenient and when in an amazing resort that supplies quality, healthy food I'll always go for that. 
But recently I've found that in your average hotel the breakfasts are also average and I'm not prepared to waste one of my meal times on average food. 😂 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hitting the street for breakfast has plenty of benefits:

-Discover new breakfast foods from different cultures around the world. 

- For healthy eating, you can head to a cafe with healthy options and not have to be faced with nothing but a cheap slice of bread

- You can see the city wake up. This is often the best time to be out anyway with fewer crowds and great light. 

- You contribute a little more to the local economy and local independent cafes, street spots and individual business owners. 💜

- If you're plant-based you'll know how limiting the average hotel breakfast can be so it's better to head to a vegan-friendly cafe instead. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where do you prefer eating breakfast when travelling? Are you team hotel or team cafe?

Memories from California ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's been so nice having more time over the last month to look through and revisit all the photos from some really memorable trips to California, I've been sitting on for a while now. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's one of my favourite shots from Pioneertown, a place I had no idea about until 3 hours before we rocked up right in time for sunset. I really wish I had bought my cowboy boots along for this one.

Don’t mind me while sit in the middle of the jungle here, breathing in the fresh sea breeze and eating all the fresh fruit I just found at the market.

Because travel isn’t about just scratching off as many countries as possible, it’s about taking your time to fully embrace each one. Wouldn’t you agree?

Some of the most beautiful places are right on your doorstep. 

Having lived in England for so long I can now safety say that I took for granted want was on my doorstep for a very long time. I also chose to explore far and wide in favor of sunnier and hotter destinations at a much lower latitude. 

Coming back now after almost 10 years of living and prioritizing destinations outside Europe I definitely have a new found appreciation for this. These cobblestone streets, these medieval buildings steeped in history and tales of murder and some of the most amazing examples of Gothic architecture in the world. 

My blog post ‘A Perfect Canterbury day trip from London’ is now live on the blog. It’s my first piece on England since 2019. 
Canterbury is under 2 hours from London and if you’ve yet to go then, seriously, don’t wait any longer. 

You don’t have to travel far to find the most beautiful of places.

Hotel breakfast or skip the hotel breakfast? ☕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't know about you guys but recently I've been getting into the habit of skipping the less-than-average hotel breakfast and heading out for more local options when travelling. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Of course, hotel breakfasts are super convenient and when in an amazing resort that supplies quality, healthy food I'll always go for that. 
But recently I've found that in your average hotel the breakfasts are also average and I'm not prepared to waste one of my meal times on average food. 😂 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hitting the street for breakfast has plenty of benefits:

-Discover new breakfast foods from different cultures around the world. 

- For healthy eating, you can head to a cafe with healthy options and not have to be faced with nothing but a cheap slice of bread

- You can see the city wake up. This is often the best time to be out anyway with fewer crowds and great light. 

- You contribute a little more to the local economy and local independent cafes, street spots and individual business owners. 💜

- If you're plant-based you'll know how limiting the average hotel breakfast can be so it's better to head to a vegan-friendly cafe instead. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where do you prefer eating breakfast when travelling? Are you team hotel or team cafe?

Make sure to follow along on stories for the next few days for charming medieval castles, gothic churches, healthy food finds and more as I navigate a city and country I haven’t been to back to in 12 years. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Oh and ain’t California pretty!? 🥰

Wanna know a really amazing way to feel refreshed, calm the mind, connect with yourself and the natural environment and promote general wellness? Something that's free too?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
GET OUTSIDE. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whatever you do this weekend, make sure to take a break from the screen, get some Vitamin D, get outside into nature and just play. Let the natural world feed your soul ✨🌿

Some of the most beautiful places are right on your doorstep. 

Having lived in England for so long I can now safety say that I took for granted want was on my doorstep for a very long time. I also chose to explore far and wide in favor of sunnier and hotter destinations at a much lower latitude. 

Coming back now after almost 10 years of living and prioritizing destinations outside Europe I definitely have a new found appreciation for this. These cobblestone streets, these medieval buildings steeped in history and tales of murder and some of the most amazing examples of Gothic architecture in the world. 

My blog post ‘A Perfect Canterbury day trip from London’ is now live on the blog. It’s my first piece on England since 2019. 
Canterbury is under 2 hours from London and if you’ve yet to go then, seriously, don’t wait any longer. 

You don’t have to travel far to find the most beautiful of places.
