Vegan Types

Veganism is a lifestyle that’s all about avoiding animal exploitation and cruelty, whether it’s for food,clothing, or anything else. But these days, the word “vegan” gets thrown around so much that it’s starting to lose its meaning.With so many different types of vegans out there, it can behard to know where to start when you’re first going plant-based. Eliminating animal products can affect more than just your diet—it can also impact your wardrobe, furniture, and even your facial products.But don’t sweat it,I’m here to help.

Whichever type of vegan you choose to be…Remember, you don’t have to decide today. There’s plenty of time to figure out what’s right for you. Don’t go vegan overnight, sis. That’s a recipe for disaster. Take it slow and make deliberate changes that you can stick with. Otherwise, you’ll be cursing your friend who convinced you to do it in the first place. What kind of vegan will you be? A flexitarian? A Dieter? Or are you going full-on vegan lifestyle?

Flexitarian

The Flexitarianvegan is someone who will take short spans of eating on a vegan diet and then go back to animal products. These types of vegans are usually beginners,would like to see a boost in their health or even reduce their meat consumption for the sake of animal welfare. This person generally finds it difficult to eliminate meat or dairy from their diet, and so they choose to have an on and off approach.  The common Part-timevegan diet may consist of having 2-3 vegan days every week. Or choose to have vegan weeks out of the months.

The vegan dieter

This vegan takes pride in refraining from any food that comes from an animal, and they are in it for the long haul.  There are no off days and it’s their way of life. That means no meat, eggs, dairy,or fish of any kind.The upside of this diet is discovering so many new foods, recipes and preparation techniques that you’ve never needed in the past.  You have a wholefood rich diet, and learn which foods to stay away from.  There can be some grey areas. For example, Some vegans are down with honey, but others think it’s an animal product. I’m team honey, myself. I mean, bees make it, so why not enjoy it? Plus, it’s good for the bees. They need to produce honey to survive, and they seem to enjoy being busy bees. But I know some people disagree. Whatever, you do you.

There is plenty to learn about being a vegan, for sure… You will also discover changes within yourself, your body, sleep, energy just to name a few.  Many people have reported clearer skin and a slimmer body frame. 

The lifestyle vegan

It doesn’t just stop at food. This vegan babe is all about living a cruelty-free lifestyle, so they’re always checking the labels on their products to make sure they’re vegan and cruelty-free. They’re not down with supporting companies that hurt animals, so they’re always on the prowl for new brands to support.

Vegan make up and face products tend to lean on the pricey side. but there are beauty lines out there that you can check out that won’t break the bank.

There’s a ton of ways to roll with a vegan lifestyle. You can dip your toes in or go full-on cold turkey. But whatever you do, listen to your bod.My advice is to stay woke and be mindful of what you’re putting in and on your body. Just because something is vegan doesn’t mean it’s automatically healthy or good for you.

Become accustom to reading ingredients and monitoring how your body reacts.  Veganism is all about feeling good, both inside and out.Whichever type of vegan you choose to be…Be kind to yourself during the process.  You don’t have to change everything at once.  The important thing is that you are making a conscious choice daily that will bring more harmony into your life.
