Plant Based Life

Lets talk some reality here, oven baked fries don’t taste half as good as deep fried once. Sure you can have a healthy quinoa base pizza but what dominos tastes like only dominos tastes like right?

Lately I have been coming across many people who started their 2017 New Year’s fitness resolution in full swing and have suddenly stopped everything. The new pair of Nike’s are suddenly out of sight, healthy food drawers in the kitchen have been replaced with take-out containers and its been days together they have stepped foot in the gym.

The very first question I get asked when I tell anyone that I am vegan is the “But proteins?”. Funnier is that I get asked this by people who are overly obese and get out of breath even while talking or unhealthy and clearly underweight malnourished looking adults.

I always ask them if they know literally anyone on planet earth who has died of protein deficiency. Then ask them how many of their family members currently suffer from cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetics, cancer etc (multiple studies have confirmed the relationship between animal proteins and these diseases by the way!). But anyways since this article is really not about proteins (and believe me I am tired of talking proteins ;), the second most common question I get asked is “where do you get your calcium from”?
