How To Become A Vegan

peace and Finnick waters diving deep
once again we are out here where nature
we just finished gardening now we’re
over here how to become a vegan someone
wrote in saying that they’re actually
doing the seven day vegan challenge and
for once they feel super happy super
healthy they can actually do the garden
and say Wayne even had breakfast yet can
I get a hello
hey and they asked how can they continue
being a vegan breathing in that good ass
prana baby it’s a beautiful day here in
California let me share with you what’s
helped me along my journey I’ve been a
vegan for over eleven years and do you
know what the hardest thing about being
a vegan is is dealing with other people
it’s got nothing to do with food like
the food is totally out of the equation
you got to deal with your grandma that
friend you never speak to aunties uncles
look you go to these events these
parties and meetings and it’s time to
eat and you’re doing the seven day vegan
challenge and what happens they say what
on earth are you gonna eat or is that
all you’re gonna eat or what’s happening
to you and it’s at that moment you say
okay I quit the seven day vegan
challenge being a vegan for me it’s more
than the label right it’s about showing
compassion to all life it’s not just
about letting go off
meat and dairy and getting a bikini but
no and that too you want to look good
you want to feel great that’s fantastic
but it has a lot more to do with inner
discipline that’s how I managed to
become a vegan and stay a vegan for over
eleven years no one’s clapping for me
wait I hear the cat down the road
clapping for me research to become a
vegan to move to a more plant-based diet
you got to have your nose buried in the
books or documentaries like supersize me
earthlings cowspiracy forks over knives
the more research you do you’re gonna be
really confident that this is what you
really want to do lots of people write
to me saying that I’m losing weight oh
yeah you’re gonna lose weight you’re
gonna look totally different it’s all of
that vitamin A that’s why you’re glowing
you’re like a Sun beaming you’re like
you’re like a sunbeam in a room people
look at you and they’re like oh you’re
blinding me that’s why a lot of people
have problems with you because they
would love to do it to to become a vegan
you got to find a community you need
support because when you start eating a
more plant-based diet it’s not just
about doing it by yourself that’s why a
lot of people they go into rehab they’re
like I can’t do this right it’s hard
work it’s not hard it’s hard hard out
here when you by yourself over 11 years
ago in when I was becoming a vegan what
happened
I saw one other person doing it but I
wasn’t friends with them until later on
and that’s why it was so much harder as
soon as I became friends with them I
started to share recipes
we started to hold hands and go to Whole
Foods we started to date each other have
vegan kisses and stuff put a lot of
strawberries in our mouth just like that
here’s some we made earlier pineapple
five hundred percent more powerful than
cough syrup bro Marlene no not with a
pineapple baby I started to research
what fruits and vegetables could
actually do for you that watercress my
favorite the most nutrient dense
vegetable in the world to become a vegan
you got to ask yourself why oh why do I
want to stop having an omelet I know
you’re lazy to crack eggs but you got to
ask yourself why are you doing this once
you find out why for me it’s because I
realized if you slaughter an animal that
same energy is going to be transferred
into your whole body so you now take on
board all their pain their agony their
suffering not nice so I had to use that
as a catalyst to move to Awards to move
towards more plant-based diet to become
a vegan I had to realize actually no no
my health wasn’t the best I was having
constipation I was on the toilet every
Sunday in Tuesday and that was time for
football practice right so I had to do
something pretty quick but to become a
vegan you got to do it in stages I
always say one vegetable per meal
you got some broccoli on the side some
watercress fantastic got some kale on
the side beautiful
don’t overdo it for goodness sakes don’t
go to Whole Foods and buy like a hundred
dollars worth of kale if you’re just
doing the seven day vegan challenge
because it’s gonna go moldy right you’re
not going to eat it all if you do well I
don’t know who the hell you are
we overwhelm ourselves when we just want
to go cold turkey and we just want to go
all out vegan some people even wearing
vegan flip-flops what the hell is going
on
can you feel it’s really windy here but
we’re still doing it that’s the kind of
determination you need to become a vegan
you need perseverance there’s going to
be days of no harvest meaning some days
you’re going to feel like giving up so
that’s why we put one vegetable with
every meal people always write to me
saying that I love eggs right I’m I’ve
stopped eating meat which causes cancer
that’s good but I can’t let go of eggs
and dairy I tell you today it’s okay
because as time goes on those eggs and
that cheese is going to totally
disappear but not all at once do it in
stages take one step at a time for me I
was vegan for like a month and then my
mom started to make some nice chicken
and rice then I stopped being a vegan
kind of works like that but the longer I
was doing it once again by researching
finding a community once you find a
community also when you realize you can
get enough protein from plant-based
sources hemp seeds more protein than
beef chia seeds packed full of protein
you start to realize actually there is
more than enough to go around being a
vegan but once again remind yourself
okay
what will keep you a vegan is not saying
all my butt looks like this I want it to
look like that so I’m gonna stop eating
meat because I want to look skinnier and
morally no no cuz afterwards afterwards
you’re just gonna go to like a fast-food
joint but when you start actually going
to what I call farms and actually see
what is happening to these animals you
think it’s not even worth it
that’s how to become a vegan do your
research
commit connect connect with an amazing
community realize is one step at a time
ask yourself why am I doing this
realize you might go into rehab but
you’ll come out of rehab and you’ll be
going for the strawberries and whole
foods and make it fun for yourself right
don’t beat yourself up if you slip up
being a vegan is all about having
compassion for yourself and all
life-forms there you have it this is
like probably the windiest day I’ve ever
done a video no actually there was one
last year about to go and get me some
ice ie baby have a beautiful day
we are whoa breathing in that good oz
Prada we’re out here infinite waters
diving deep once again stay well stay healthy
