I've started this diet 1 month ago and I'll talk about the pros and cons at the moment.
I'll start with the pros:
- I feel a lot more relieved when I eat because now I know that what I'm eating didn't live and die in agony (at least for the actual standards of science);
- I feel a lot more healthy probably because of my healthier food choices (I educated myself before starting this diet and I cut all the junk foods that I used to eat, including animal sourced foods of course);
- I noticed that I'm wasting a lot less food, and that is due to the fact that I'm the one that is buying my food (it used to be my dad and he always bought too much).
Now to the cons:
- Because I'm eating a lot of beans and whole grains I feel excessive bloating, but the specialists say that that will pass in a period of 2 weeks or so;
- It makes buying food a bit harder because with some foods you will have to see what is the ingredient composition, and you will have to ignore that roasted chicken you used to love;
- Lastly and probably the most difficult to stick with this diet is when you wanna hang out with friends or have a family meal, because you will be that weird guy that brings his food in food containers or that will buy food in different places and will be eating something different from everybody else (if your friends are genuine friends they'll comprehend and support you with this decision, so it almost works as a drainer that will only catch the friends that are worth your time).
So, if you are, want to be a vegan or are sceptical about veganism I'll recommend you to watch these videos (if you didn't already):
