Tools for an Easy Plant Based Transition
Have you been considering switching to a plant based lifestyle but have no idea where to start?
First, i’d like you to keep in mind that a complete vegan lifestyle may not be feasible for everyone. You do not need to go cold turkey. You do not need to feel guilty if you went plant based for a week and broke and had a snickers. In fact, if you do feel guilty please email me and I can give you a list of reasons of why you need to snap out of that mindset!
Here are a few links to everything that helped me which are all currently FREE:
1.) Gary Yourofsky’s Best Speech ever:

I know many do not like to see visuals of animal cruelty. If you are one of those who cannot stomach it, skip 16:00 - 20:06 and 1:00:30 - 1:04:16. Although— I would recommend watching it through.

I specifically recommend this for males. A lot of reactions that come from men when discussing veganism is……… YEP you got it! PROTEIN! This documentary follows James Wilks who is an athlete on a quest for the truth about meat, protein, and strength. This movie not only follows elite athletes and special ops soldiers but it also follows scientists and conducts visual testings comparing a meat diet to a plant based diet. The results are shown right in front of you and will have you saying “wow.” throughout the whole movie.
