Making a case for veganism...
Making the transition to a vegan diet for the first time can be both daunting yet exciting at the same time. The beginner vegan often has many questions or reservations about this lifestyle that they are seeking to get answers for. No Bull: Vegan & Fitness for Beginners by Rose Donato offers helpful tips and advice for those who are new to the vegan diet, focusing on how to smoothly start a vegan diet and how to ensure that the transition to becoming vegan is as easy and stress-free as possible.
However, before you make any kind of lifestyle change, it’s always a good idea to do plenty of research in advance. By doing so, you will know exactly what to expect. You need to gather information on what vegans do and don't eat, what benefits there are to going vegan, and what the obstacles and challenges vegans face. In other words, while the idea of becoming vegan might seem noble, the reality suggests a complete U-turn in what you are normally accustomed to, and that may be cause for concern. Therefore, seeking advice from your family physician is of upmost importance.
Having said that, there isn’t much argument from a scientific point of view (if you read actual scientific peer reviewed papers and not website blogs) as regards going vegan. By exploring the wide variety of options on the vegan menu, suggests we could get all of the minerals and nutrients that we need for optimal health. The major problem here is that we live in a fast food and convenient society. We ultimately have been programed to accept that our fast food industry gods can provide us with our dietary needs when in reality they can only supply us with a quick fix and very tasty meal with little or no nutritional value. It fills a short-term need disregarding the long-term health of the individual.
No Bull: Vegan & Fitness for Beginners by Rose Donato is an excellent starter guide. The book ‘makes a case for veganism truthfully and bluntly with no sugar coating. Within these pages, you will find everything you need to know when you begin your vegan journey, including how to transition and remain on course.’ Highly recommended.
