Why I tend to vegan diet?
Although I can control most of the eczema, it appears again on the rainy days. It is most noticeable when I am stressed, have poor diet, lack of sleep. My day to day habits were good! So what happened?
So my friend recommended the tv show “The game changer” to me. Wow!! It really was a game changer haha. It shut down all the misconceptions about how much protein we need, protein vs muscle synthesis. But I learned that meat can be actually detrimental to health (i.e. increased cancer rates, heart disease, diabetes, obesity etc.） But can a vegan diet help?
THE EXPERIMENT -
I haven’t gone all in yet, I tried to limit my meat intake to one meal a day. Sound easy right? Not so, since I eat less meat, I tried food like “Impossible Vegan Meats.” It was good....I liked the flavour, chewy yet juicy, like I am eating USDA Prime ribeye!!! But then i found out…vegan processed foods are usually high in trans fat and sugar. BAM! OK…now how about replacing these ‘vegan’ foods with REAL VEGGIES?! Light bulb moment! It worked! Within a week my inflammation had gone down and I was not so itchy anymore. Also….my recovery time decreased. i could work out more and KEEP working out without falling asleep.
THE RESULT-
I feel my muscles and abs are more defined and my skin is healthier 😎.
