I’m a first year student studying Climate and Environmental Sustainability in DCU
My challenge
I will eat vegan for one day a week cut back on meat and dairy and water usage
Going Vegan for a day was a lot easier than I expected especially now that I’m living away from home and cooking my own food. As someone who cares about my sport performance I bought some vegan protein powder so I can still hit my macronutrient count even if I’m not eating meat. I am happy to report that it tastes great and works well in smoothies along with some oat milk.
Hi Medbh. It's great to hear you're experiment so far is going well. It's important when you are undergoing changes like this that your health stays the same or improves. Have you managed to start conversations with others about your challenge? How have these gone? I find that this is often the hardest part of change as it makes you justify to someone why you are doing what you are doing. When I started eating a plant-based diet I got some negative reactions. I still get the same reactions today and I find that I need to explain my choices all of the time. These conversations are important. I decided to go vegan because of one such conversation and several other friends have gone vegetarian/vegan because of me so you matter more than you think. Looking forward to continue reading your blog. Darren Respond
