More Plants: A Vegan Podcast by Brownble Brownble

Today's podcast episode is part 2 of our series on some of the most common questions vegans get asked, and some of the most common questions vegans have when they first make this change. In this installment I’ll be answering the questions “can anyone be vegan (is it safe for athletes, pregnancy, and raising infants and kids)?”, “is a vegan diet possible for people who have struggled with an eating disorder or are in recovery?” “Is a vegan diet safe if I have an underlying medical condition?”, “isn’t it okay to source your meat, dairy and eggs from cage free, free range facilities or more sustainable farms?”, “isn’t it true that animals still die in the growing and production of plant based products or agricultural production?”, “is a vegan diet more expensive?” “do I need special ingredients or equipment to eat a vegan diet?”, and “aren’t we supposed to eat meat? We’ve been doing it for centuries!” 

Enjoy today's episode!

In today's post and podcast episode, part 1 of a two part series, I’ll be talking about some of those frequently asked vegan questions we get, and the tips and resources that have helped so many of you and that helped me on my journey into veganism. Our answers to these will not only help you on your journey, but they might help you be able to answer the many questions you’ll get as you share with people that you’ve embarked upon this change.

Today we'll cover the first 9 questions with everything from “”what do vegans eat?” “where do vegans get protein and other nutrients?”, "are vegan meats safe to eat?", “how to build a healthy and balanced vegan meal”, “why don’t vegans eat dairy and eggs?”, questions related to calcium, omega 3s, iron and vitamin B12. We talk about whether or not a vegan diet is difficult to maintain, and more. In some I'll give you a brief rundown, and in others, I'll also be linking to videos, other posts and resources that tackle these topics in depth. That way you can find the question you've been wondering about the most, and get all the information you need.

In last week’s episode and post I talked a lot about the physical changes or common vegan side effects you might experience when going vegan, and today we are again talking about those initial days, weeks or months as a new vegan when it comes to emotional changes you might go through, whether or not it's normal to experience difficult emotions, sadness or anxiety when you first switch to a plant based diet.

There are so many resources when it comes to our health and some of those physical changes one might go through, we hear endless talks about improvements in bloodwork, changes in digestive health, among others, but going vegan is a big shift when it comes to your eating habits, especially when it revolves around the relationships that fill your life, as well as making sure the new diet is satisfying, fulfilling and enjoyable for you.

Today we’re going to tackle those emotional aspects of making this change, and with each one I’ll share my top tips to help you navigate anything that needs a little course correction.

When we talk about the basics regarding vegan diets and making the transition, it's important to talk about those first few days, weeks and months into going vegan. I know that I personally had so many questions regarding some of the physical symptoms I was experiencing when I went vegan, and this is completely understandable, as with any dietary change, we are bound to experience differences in the way we feel especially those first few weeks as a vegan.

Today I’ll be talking about the side effects we can experience when we first adopt a vegan diet.

By side effects I'm simply referring to those physical symptoms we might experience as part of the transition to a plant based diet. Feelings in our bodies and minds that will soon find their perfect peaceful place of equilibrium once we understand what could be behind them and what we can adjust until we feel comfortable. Making more vegan choices or going vegan is also all about the formation of so many new habits, often a huge change from the way we’ve eaten before, or the way our family members or friends eat. This means it can come with challenges as we get acquainted, which is why the mindset we have while making this change is so important, and I’ll share some thoughts in this regard as well, towards the end of episode.

Have you ever wondered what it means to be a vegan, a vegetarian, a flexitarian or a pescatarian? What about the difference between a vegan diet, a plant based diet or a plant forward diet? Welcome to our latest podcast episode where we explore the world of all the diets that are trying to reduce or eliminate animal products. Today we'll dive deep into each of them and explain their differences, similarities, and why imperfection is part of the process of making more plant based choices or going vegan. We'll also be taking a closer look at the full definition of veganism, and I give you my perspective on how we need to reframe the way we judge ourselves when making a choice that wasn't "perfect", and why there are more and more of these labels than ever before, when it comes to eating in this way. Whether you're curious about these diets and ways of eating or just looking to learn more, this episode is the perfect place to start. Join us as we discuss veganism from a different perspective, and I give you an important question to ask yourself when incorporating more plants into your diet, so that the changes last and are sustainable.
