The Case Of The Fat Vegan

We’re all familiar with how a plant-=based diet is great for the planet. It cuts down significantly on your carbon footprint by using far less water and fossil fuels to produce the food, and this is great for the environment as a whole.

Eating a plant-based diet also tends to obviously be better for the animals that are not getting consumed, which is great overall, too.

But what about when the plant-based diet turns into a “vegan” diet (or the other way around) and you end up eating a diet strictly of plant foods, but not necessarily the healthiest plant foods.

I’ve found that there’s a big difference between a “plant-based” dieter and a “vegan”, much of the time.

When you say plant-based, you would likely be brought to mind that of a diet based on plants, where mostly plants are eaten in the diet. Rice, beans, veggies, nuts, seeds, and other plant foods.

However, a “vegan” diet can be all over the map. Everything from cigarettes t o cashews butter chocolate cookies to deep fried vegetable tempura is all clear in the vegan realm of eating. Obviously, this makes for some different looking vegans.

Check out this video today where Dr. John McDougall discusses how somebody can become overweight following a vegan diet, and ow they can void doing so.

You’ll learn:

How you can differentiate between what a healthy vegan diet is and what a junkfood vegan diet is.
Why it’s so important for people to actually care for themselves first and foremost, and how doing so can help them spread their message in the most effective way.
Which foods that are so commonly eaten in large amounts by many vegans ultimately aren’t healthy for them or their causes.
Which foods do support a healthy vegan diet that allows for the best health and wellbeing of the planet as an entire whole.

I think that Dr. McDougall brings up some great points. We should all remember that YOUR health, first and foremost, is what’s most important in your life. If you aren’t the healthiest you can possibly be, there’s no way you’ll ever be able to be healthy enough to fully support and give your all to whatever your cause is.
