Mastering the Vegan Diet: Benefits, Hurdles, and Top Tips for Success

The Vegan Diet: Perks, Challenges, and How to Make It Work for You From the heart of Brooklyn to the streets of L.A., the word “vegan” is popping up more than a squirrel in a game of Whack-a-Mole. It’s the new buzzword, like “turmeric lattes” and “avocado toast” (which, by the way, are vegan delights!). But beyond the trend, there’s a lot to understand about this dietary choice. Let’s dive in,…

I actually looked into changing my diet to be more animal friendly. Finding food that is inexpensive, lasts a long time, easy to prepare, fits with in my budget, is high protein and low carb, tastes good enough that I won't get sick of it, and isn't horrendously unhealthy... it just wasn't going to happen.

My bestie is vegan. It takes a lot of time, energy, money, and willpower. I think people underestimate how difficult that willpower aspect is to overcome. When you are exhausted, fatigued, and depressed, managing a strict diet of any kind is very challenging.

I think we should all consume less meat. And I think we need to make it easier and cheaper for folks to be able to make that choice.

But I don't think shaming disabled people for eating eggs is going to help animals very much.

Also, does anyone find it odd that the only art they ever throw soup on cannot actually be harmed by soup? They never seem to attempt that on the myriad other art that doesn't have protection. If I can put on my tin foil hat for a second, I honestly wonder if some oil lobby is hiring kids to make climate activists look bad.

[purpleneutrino]

for the wip game: Luffy goes vegan. Sanji loses his mind 🤯💀👀

LOL my most ridiculous crack fic idea 😂 The WIP is very sparse right now (just dialogue and a few rough actions) but it's mostly an exercise in putting Sanji through as much confusion and suffering as possible trying to cater to Luffy's new diet (which, predictably, doesn't last long).

Sanji's reaction to veganism is just such a funny thought exercise to me. Because he's this kind and respectful person, someone who would absolutely cater to anyone else's dietary restrictions, but I think on a personal level, it would truly baffle him (especially if it was Luffy hahaha). He's also a creative chef though, so I think he would also rise to the challenge of making vegan alternatives.

edit: just seen you also ask about this one too @i-like-the-way-you-talk

#ask games #purpleneutrino #pup replies #anon #imagine sanji finds the all blue but by the time he does the whole crew has fully converted to veganism 😞 LMAO

[catinheadlights]

I regularly eat meat so maybe take this with a grain of salt, but I think when people try to "own" the concept of veganism with "facts and logic" as either a diet or a moral stance, they generally misunderstand what they're trying to criticize.

Like, you can say that the "real" problem with animal agriculture is capitalism encouraging animal abuse and factory farming, but like. Vegans know that's bad. That's not the only problem they have with the industry. You've got the slew of environmental problems it causes plus the whole, y'know, killing/exploiting animals thing that they don't like.

Someone who values the life of a chicken as equal to that of a human won't give two shits if it had a good life before being slaughtered, because to them it's the moral equivalent of killing a person for food. By saying that they're simply ✨wrong✨ for seeing a problem with the killing part, you're missing the entire point. "It had a good life" hardly means anything if you don't think of human life as inherently more valuable. You can disagree with that premise all you want, but you're not gonna change their minds.

I also challenge you to actually come up with an argument for why you feel human life inherently matters more than all nonhuman life, because I've never in my life seen a cogent argument for it that includes all humans and excludes all nonhumans. It's just that evolution hardwired that value into most people (including me, I agree). I think it's fine to feel that way and live accordingly, but you should know where your values come from. Vegans act on that too - getting rid of an infestation would be the equivalent of mass murder. This isn't a dig, by the way, it'd be impossible to have a decent quality of life if you stuck to "humans = nonhuman animals" completely.

I see people tossing around eggs and dairy as morally fine because they don't require killing the animals that produce them, but everyone seems to conveniently forget what they do to nearly all the males. It's not practical for farmers to keep all the males alive for their natural lifespan because they aren't economically useful. Some very small farmers might, but it's never going to happen on any remotely large scale. Something tells me that the "killing animals is bad" club isn't gonna be happy about that.

Also, I don't know what's up with people making shit up about domestication but:

Livestock was, in fact, domesticated. Yes, this includes laying hens. We'll breed anything for efficiency.

The purpose of domesticating an animal doesn't dictate what is morally okay to do with it (ex. if you bred dogs specifically to fight, it wouldn't make dogfighting more moral).

In a similar vein, no, factory farming never reduces the need for cropland, and the animal agriculture industry as a whole doesn't either (hint: it's mostly factory farming). I don't know where people get the idea that animals somehow magic nutrients/energy into existence, but a lot of crops are grown specifically for livestock feed, which is less efficient than growing crops directly for human consumption due to trophic levels and waste production. If you insist otherwise, please take a biology class.

I do think that putting so much focus on individual action is a bit silly considering how giant animal agriculture is as an industry and how heavily subsidized it is. Put some of that energy into changing policy please. It'd probably be more useful.

#I feel like emphasizing that humans are a type of animal might help with understanding vegans a bit if they baffle you for some reason #we're not all that exceptional when you think about it #although I think that having a consciousness is a better line than being part of the animal kingdom #also does anyone remember that post where someone convinced people that vegans think honey is ground up bees #people were so mad

[acti-veg]

is veganism making any progress? or worldwide are people eating more meat?

It depends what you define as 'progress', to be honest. Global meat consumption is still increasing, as people who have historically been too poor to afford to eat much meat are switching towards more westernised diets, particularly in Asia. The balance will have to shift on that at some point though, because there isn't enough land, water and resources on earth to sustain a population who all eat a meat-heavy diet. There isn't even enough to sustain it at current levels.

Many surveys point to the fact that most Europeans are reducing their meat intake, the amount of meat purchased in the EU has fallen dramatically and it is expected that this trend will continue over the next ten years. Plant-based options have enjoyed rapid expansion but that is slowing now as the market stabilises after the initial boom, I think it’s likely it is oversaturated now and that we’ll see some companies go bust. There will probably be a lot of ‘veganism is dying!’ media coverage about that but it’s to be expected after what was a 400% increase in some countries. The number of vegans is also definitely increasing rapidly, though exact numbers vary depending on who you ask.

In terms of success, we're nowhere near even close to achieving animal liberation or universal veganism, but I think that is an unlikely goal within our lifetimes. That isn't the only way to measure the success of a political and social movement, though. I always like to use the Occupy movement as an example; they didn't overthrow capitalism but they got the idea of the 1% vs the 99% into the public conversation and it has never really gone away. They increased class consciousness, certainly in Britain and the US, which is a kind of success all by itself.

Similarly, words like speciesism and the evils of animal agriculture is much more widely discussed now. I see this myself, ten years ago I was still trying to convince people that cows need to be pregnant to produce milk. Tumblr is a bit of an exception because the community are extremely conservative when it comes to animal rights, but in the wider world, particularly on the left, animal advocacy is much more socially accepted, and most leftist protest organisations are populated by a great many vegetarians and vegans.

Veganism is definitely making good progress so long as your expectations aren’t unrealistic. You’d be surprised how few people globally need to take up a cause before it’s advocates can enact real, lasting social and legislative change. The civil rights movement is a great example of that. We have to manage our expectations though, and animal rights is uniquely challenging as a cause due to how ubiquitous carnism is and how dominant the animal agriculture industries are. Still, we're in a dramatically better position than we were ten years ago.

this was a very interesting video to watch.

i appreciate how they prioritised the environmental effects of the production but at the same time, i can't help but wonder if all these are actually practical things that other productions can take on.

for instance, electric cars is great for reducing the amount of fossil fuels burned but the production for lithium batteries for electric cars leaves a larger footprint than the production of regular cars. recycling these lithium batteries after it has run its course has also proven to be a challenge. there has been many cases of fires and harmful chemical pollutants that are released when recycling such materials.

and on the topic of veganism, while many people practice that diet, what about those who have dietary restrictions, allergies or are unable to eat vegan foods for whatever personal reason? it seems restrictive and forceful to make the whole cast and crew consume vegan foods as that is the only resource available to them.

the world isn't perfect and we have a long way to go in terms of taking better care of our mother earth. i don't have a viable solution that will automatically cure climate change but i think we shouldn't just jump the gun and do whatever is more "environmentally-friendly" for the sake of it, without thinking of its possible consequences or how it might affect others

The authors of the study surveyed 1,369 cat owners who fed their cats either a vegan or meat-based diet about their cats’ health. Respondents were mostly female (91%) and represented a range of ages. Most lived in the UK, with others residing in Europe, North America, or Oceania. Most (about 65%) had themselves adopted some form of diet to reduce meat consumption – being either vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian (fish only), or reducing their meat consumption. A small portion (9%) fed their cats a vegan diet in spite of their own dietary choices. The owners were asked about their cat’s health, including specific health conditions, medication use, and how often they saw a vet. They were also asked their opinion on how healthy their cat was and what they believed their vet would say about their cat’s health. Overall, the study found no evidence of detrimental health effects in cats fed a vegan diet. In fact, the authors suggest a vegan diet actually leads to health benefits for cats. The researchers looked at seven indicators of illness and found non-significant reductions in all of them in cats on a vegan diet. These included reduced veterinary visits, reduced use of medications, and fewer instances of owners thinking their cats were in poor health. Non-significance means the researchers didn’t find strong enough evidence to say there was a meaningful difference between the groups — but it doesn’t mean there was no effect (especially since some of the trends were strong). They found that 15 diseases were more common in cats fed meat, while only seven diseases were more common in cats on a vegan diet. Examples of less common diseases for cats on a vegan diet include dental disease, skin disease, and hormonal diseases. But again, the differences between the two diet groups were not statistically significant. There was only one disease for which a significant statistical difference was observed: cats fed a vegan diet were slightly more likely to have kidney disease.

The Pro-Ana Diet : 8 Different Meal Plans to Follow

By Mimo Varila

The Lunabelle Diet

The Lunabelle diet is a condensed version of the Ana Boot Camp diet, which is 40 days instead of the usual 50 days. It has more fast days and calorie variations. This is a more “doable” diet, as it comes with higher calorie restrictions, with days you consume between 100 to 800 calories. There are double fast days, though, so you have to prepare yourself for these. If not, you can consume 50 or 100 calories to stay safe if you aren’t able to fast this long. After 40 days, you will be able to lose up to 20 pounds or more!

The Rainbow Diet

This is a pretty interesting diet, as it entails you to consume one color of food per day, except for every Wednesday. Here is the meal plan:

Monday (white) :

Breakfast: Half an apple

Lunch: Half an apple

Dinner: One cucumber

Tuesday (yellow):

Breakfast: One banana

Lunch: One banana

Dinner: Half a cup of corn

Wednesday: Fast

Thursday (orange):

Breakfast: Half an orange

Lunch: Half an orange

Dinner: One carrot

Friday (red):

Breakfast: Half a cup of strawberries

Lunch: Half a cup of strawberries

Dinner: Half a red pepper

Saturday (purple or blue):

Breakfast: Ten blueberries

Lunch: Ten blueberries

Dinner: Ten raspberries

Sunday (green):

Breakfast: Half a cup of grapes

Lunch: Half a cup of grapes

Dinner: One cup of lettuce

The ABC Diet

If you have been following the pro-ana lifestyle of quite some time now, then you’re familiar with the ABC diet, which is known as the Ana Boot Camp. This is one of the most popular diets to follow, as it’s extensive and incredibly useful. However, it’s very challenging, and not many people pass it.

This grueling diet will yo-yo between 50 to 500 calories a day, with a fast every few days. The extreme calorie restriction will have you lose at least 20 pounds once you are done with the 50 days. You can eat anything in this diet, but make sure that it sticks to your limit.

The Five Bites Diet

Think of it as a mental gastric bypass surgery, where people staple their stomachs to feel full after just a few bites. This will take a lot of self-control, though, as you will only be consuming five bites of whatever meal you have.

I recommend that you follow this diet:

Breakfast: Five bites of oatmeal

Lunch: Five bites of a sandwich

Dinner: Five bites of pasta

It’s best to consume a lot of water or zero-calorie drinks to stay energized and hydrated while doing the diet. Freshly-squeezed lemon juice can work great, too!

The Vegan Model Diet

The vegan model diet is another effective and restrictive diet suitable for those who follow the vegan lifestyle. Think of it as the usual meal plan models would follow to get a flat stomach without any meat products!

Breakfast: One reduced-calorie bread and two cups of black coffee with zero-calorie sweeteners

Lunch: One large apple

Dinner: Eight baby carrots

The total number of calories consumed is only 200 calories. Follow this for a week, and you will be able to lose weight quickly. You can substitute meals with different fruits and vegetables if desired. Add your meal diet with some healthy powders. Check the green superfood powder to know more.

The Ana Atkins Diet

This is a personal twist on the Atkins diet, which is similar to the keto diet. Just make sure that you avoid any keto diet mistakes and consume too many carbs from fruits!

Breakfast: Three-egg white omelet

Snack: Baked white fish fillet

Lunch: Roast Chicken drumstick and a cup of salad leaves

Snack: 50 grams of prawns with garlic and chili

Dinner: Grilled Sirloin steak and a cup of salad leaves

You might think that this is a lot to consume, but it’s quite useful in burning fat quickly. By day three, you have less appetite, and your body is using ketones for energy.

The Russian’s Gymnast Diet

Irina Tschachina is a 5’6 Russian gymnast who only weighs 99 pounds. Wonder how she does it? Here’s a diet you can follow for ultimate weight loss and health. Those who follow this diet for a week can lose up to ten pounds!

Breakfast: A glass of apple or orange juice

Lunch: Fruit salad with a glass of fruit juice

Dinner: Green apple and a glass of non-carbonated water

Make sure that your fruit juices are freshly squeezed and free from any artificial sweeteners.

The Baby Food Diet

This is a pretty exciting diet, as it entails you to consume baby food, which is rich in vitamins and nutrients. I recommend that you purchase organic and vegetable-based baby food, which has fewer calories and more vitamins.

You can have baby food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Or, you can have an average healthy breakfast and consume baby food for lunch and dinner. Make sure that you get the 80-gram jars, which are made for weaning babies.

But do take note that these are only short-term diets that should not be done as a lifestyle change. There are many different side effects to pro-ana diets, as you are consuming fewer calories than your body needs, which causes some health risks in the long run.

Bonus Tips on Keeping Up With a Pro-Ana Diet

Now that you’re familiar with the different pro-ana diets, what are other ways you can keep it consistent? Here are some bonus tips to follow:

• Make sure to always keep track of your calories by using apps or other online tools available. Don’t take in more calories than what you burn to ensure weight loss.

• It’s better to consume a healthy breakfast to have better-eating decisions for the day ahead.

• Water is one of the crucial parts of the diet, as it doesn’t only fill you up but keeps you energized when restricting your calories. However, you should avoid drinking water in a single session, since this causes water retention.

• Small meals throughout the day are also recommended, which can have the body think that you’re eating enough to stay satiated and energized throughout the day.

• These are aggressive diets, and you will be deficient in many nutrients from the calorie restriction. Because of this, it’s imperative to take in vitamins. These will compensate for what you don’t consume.

• Sleeping is essential to gain energy and level out your cravings and appetite. If you sleep less, it can lead to a lack of energy and hunger, as well as a slow metabolism!

• If you want to stay encouraged while following a diet, then it’s best to find a diet buddy or to look in the mirror, which keeps you motivated!

• You can keep track of your macronutrients with online macro calculators to ensure you’re eating the right foods, in the right ratios, for optimal weight loss.

Pro-ana diets are aggressive but possible with the right tips and healthy food consumption. That way, you won’t have a problem with keeping the pounds off in the long run !

Hopefully, this article on the pro-ana diet gave you an idea of what you can do to stick with your meal plans.

So don’t wait any longer and check out any of these diets now!

Start your diet now !
