Anecdotally, after moving to a plant based diet, I feel a lot healthier and have a lot more energy.
I think that the main reason is less that meat itself is unhealthy though, but that I used to basically eat meat and carbs with little in the way of vegetables. Steak and chips isn't a very nutritionally complete meal.
Of course it's possible to eat shit food while still being a vegan. Oreos and fries are vegan.
- devmunchies 8y agoBeen plant based for over a year. I wouldn’t say I have noticeably more “explosive” energy (it’s not worse), but but my recovery after a workout is much better and I’m back to full energy quicker.
- lostlogin 8y agoOreos aren’t vegan and many fries aren’t either, including from some big chains. http://www.oreo.co.uk/faq http://www.oreo.co.uk/faq
- firethief 8y ago> No, Oreo have milk as cross contact and therefore they are not suitable for vegans. That's definitely a minority view. The point is to avoid creating demand for animal products, so most vegans don't worry about cross-contamination as if it were an allergy.
- ianleeclark 8y agoCross contamination is still vegan. By consuming something that's potentially cross contaminated in a factory, you're not increasing the demand for animal abuse.
- dorchadas 8y agoI'm slowly shifting myself towards a vegetarian diet as well, and I've found that the days I don't eat meat I sleep much less. I wake up feeling just as refreshed as I ever did, but on less sleep. Like, < 6 hours.
