The Benefits of Veganuary

↠ A healthy, wholefoods based vegan diet is much healthier than a conventional western diet full of overprocessed foods.  ↠ Factory farming of poultry and livestock in particular are unethical and rife with disease, antibiotics and chemicals. ↠ Animal agriculture has a massive effect on the environment and the landscape through the contribution of greenhouse gases and more.  ↠ Trying out Veganuary gives you the chance to start a new wellness journey and relationship with yourself, your body and the environment.

Top Tips for  Veganuary

Prepare

One of my best Veganuary tips is preparation. In order to avoid overwhelm and panic it’s a great idea to prepare before Veganuary. I highly recommend looking through some vegan cookbooks or online blogs and choosing about 5 staple recipes that you can always come back to when time in short or you don’t know what to cook/eat.

Focus on Whole Foods

It’s easy to just stock up your fridge or freezer with vegan pizza, pies, cheeses, mock meat, snacks and cakes and while you are still eating plant-based you’re not doing much for your health. During Veganuary try to focus on filling your body with wholesome, natural plants and you’ll find yourself reaping the benefits. While there is of course nothing wrong with the odd ready meal or treat, try not to make your whole vegan January being solely about consuming these products. FIND OUT MORE 

Find Your Motivation

After all, it is your motivation that will get you through the month. What is it that made you want to commit to Veganuary? Find that motivation and better still write it down as this might help you if halfway through the month you feel a little less motivated than when you started.

Use Online Resources and Find Communities

Online communities and resources can go a long way when it comes to giving you a motivation boost or more simply a place to find information and connect with others. The Veganuary website is a great place to start with tonnes of information about going vegan, recipes, restaurant guides and a community you can join.

Don’t Worry About Protein

The short answer is that if you eat a wholefood, balanced, plant-based diet you will get all the protein you need. There’s actually a surprisingly large amount of protein that can be found in vegetables and eating legumes like beans and lentils as well as tofu and tempeh which is packed full of protein will help you get all the protein your body will need.

Load Up on Healthy Snacks

The first few days might be tough if you haven’t had the time to prepare well, but don’t worry. If you need that extra security blanket then make sure to stock up on healthy vegan snacks that you can munch on throughout the day if, you find yourself in that situation where you can’t quite locate something to eat.
