I discovered via Facebook yesterday that November 1st is World Vegan Day and that the month of November is Vegan Month! I didn't plan this, but it is very ironic that the Daniel Fast is essentially a vegan diet with some additional restrictions. This is my 2nd time on the Daniel Fast and I won't lie, it was difficult. But when I look back with my rose-colored glasses on- I do remember feeling fantastic! After I got through the early detoxing phase of caffeine, sugar and chemicals of course.My #1 purpose on this fast is to grow in my relationship with God. However, through the classes and discussions I've listened too through IIN, I have also become more intrigued about actually trying to live on a more plant based diet even after my fast is over.
Why would anyone want to become Vegan?
There are MANY benefits that effect, not just the person who is vegan, but the environment they live in. Vegan is an extension of vegetarianism that typically focuses on a cruelty-free lifestyle.
But where do you get your PROTEIN!?
Haha, as a personal trainer first and potential vegan second, I am here to tell you that protein can be found in MUCH more than just animal and animal by-products. Check out this link for a list of the top 10 vegan protein sources!
