Honestly speaking, the vegan diet seems near impossible to maintain. Unless, of course, there's a medical reason motivating you to follow it. For those of you who don't know, vegans eat nothing that comes from an animal. Nothing. No eggs, no dairy, and obviously no meat, fish or poultry.
So how do they survive? Wouldn't you gain weight if all you ate was carbs all the time? There is a healthy way to be a vegan. And if done correctly, vegans can be in great shape physically! Their diet consists of LOTS of fruits and vegetables. In fact, the rest of us could probably benefit from spending some time with a vegan and learning how to incorporate more of these nutrition powerhouses into our diets.
Check out the link below to hear about a local Birmingham restaurant that provides vegan options. And then do me a favor, try to get in 5 servings of vegetables a day and 4 servings of fruit...it's doable. I promise.
