Today is February 1, 2018
and towards the end of December 2017, I decided to go vegan!
It's been a little over a month so I decided to post an update.
My diet before going vegan
Prior to this, I was already 2/3 vegetarian (meaning I ate two vegetarian meals, and one standard meal with meat). The idea was I'd make a deliberate, slow transition into veganism over time so that I'd go into it with more research under my belt. I've always been aware of vegans who jump into veganism and get wrecked on a poor vegan diet. So, to avoid that, I took my time researching the subject. In any case, by the end of 2017, I felt I had everything I needed to move forward.
A couple noticeable differences so far
Slightly more energy. Since I was already in good, general health before going vegan, it makes sense that the contrast wasn't so stark. But still, it is noticeable, and thats pretty cool.
A slight reduction in acne. This was a pleasant surprise, as I was not expecting that. Now... when it comes to acne, I'm not an extreme case... but it is such that I have to medication (like Clearsil) every day to keep it in check. After going vegan, it seems I need a little less medication. I did try not using any acne medication for a week and that did not go well, so I still need to use it. Still, I'm relieved that I can get away with using less. If I had to go with a number, I'd go with a 10% decrease in facial acne. So not much, but definitely a nice, unexpected bonus.
I have this sudden urge to tell everyone I'm vegan... (Ha, just kidding!)
So, so far so good!
I'm amused and intrigued.
It has only been a month, but let's see where this goes!

Book Recommendation:
I highly recommend the book, "How To Not Die" by Dr. Gregor, M.D. (Disclosure: This link is an amazon affiliate link. If you make a purchase, I will receive a small commission. I do my best to use affiliate links only on products I like and use). Inside, Dr. Gregor showers you with research backed information on the benefits of being on a plant based diet, as well as the risks of not being on one! Trust me, it's really good.
