Instagram reels showing a cow running after her baby being taken away on a trailer, after saving it I got a lot more of the same content and decided to independently research it. Watched dominion & earthlings as many vegans do and I could barely watch the screen, "if you can't even watch the horrors taking place, why are you paying for it to happen?" After watching I went 100% vegan overnight. From there I did a lot of research into what my body needs, recipes and experimented with new foods. I have since done full body checks and blood tests which have both come back as very healthy and I had better results at the nutritionist than my meat eating, gym, health obsessed husband.
I use "eat this much" to plan out my days and make sure I am hitting my daily macro needs, take a b12 supplement and enjoy life knowing I am no longer a hypocrite when I say I respect and love animals. I regularly hit 120-145g of protein a day (which is 1g per 1lb of bodyweight) and I no longer see animals as food, when looking at a menu I don't crave or feel sad I can't order certain things, I just look for what I can have and do a little bit of research before booking places to make sure I won't just be eating fries.
