Reptiles often eat other animals and for some that can be a deal breaker. Are there any reptiles that only eat plants? Well yes, and these five make amazing pets!


Rdents for some people is a deal breaker so the logical alternative would be an herbivore reptile that only eats plants. Great news, there are several great salad munching animals to choose from. If you are into big reptiles a rock iguana or a rhino iguana might be the right option for you! Cyclura as a family are so interesting and unique. These big lizards can be amazing pets for the right keeper and they are 100% herbivores. A smaller but still sizable option if you're looking for an arboreal lizard might be a monkey tailed skink. Monkey tail skinks have a wicked prehensile tail and can have an amazing temperament for an arboreal species. of course these skinks only eat plants which makes the diet rather easy to take care of and overall these can be great pets! A more common vegan lizard would be a uromastyx. There are several species ranging from bright colours to more drab colors and small or large options too. All Uromastyx eat plants and seeds only making them great pet options for those keepers who want a really cool lizard buddy with super hot and dry environments. Tortoises can't be overlooked, well most of them. Red foots and other similar tortoises do eat some protein but most other tortoises are 100% plant based shell bois! Want something really unique? Chuckwalla lizards are really cool, come in many colors and of course that diet it is 100% leafy greens and other plants!

In the era of combatting rapid climate change, meat & dairy are getting the worst press: in particular, we've been seeing beef getting slashed everywhere for its methane emissions - cow burps and farts. So we are increasingly being told that switching to a vegan/plant-based diet is the solution to climate change. But is it really the case? Because popular vegan foods like avocados, soy and almonds do cause massive environmental destruction. So how could eating regional plant-based foods be potentially less environmentally damaging than eating local and organic meat & dairy? In this video, I will be explaining and debunking various claims made around veganism and plant based diets using life-cycle assessment.

I am a vegan/animal rights and environmental/climate activist, and I share various educational content on veganism and plant-based living - the ethics, environment, climate change, and nonhuman & human rights issues, as well as easy vegan/plant-based recipes.

I've been vegan for 6 years and training for 8 years. Here's how my body transformed in that time and what I learned.

My 6 Year Vegan Body Transformation - 3 Things I Learned

Here's my full vegan body transformation as a male, before and after:

About 8 years ago. I was a lost kid.

There was a video game called Metin2. I was addicted to it. I smoked cigarettes on the weekends and I often drank to black outs.

Sometimes I spent days without leaving my room - glued to my computer. Or my hookah. I used to smoke hookah when gaming or watching a video.

My big brother called me "the unhealthiest person he knew". And I think he was right.

Yet, I thought to myself: "Why change, if this is working just fine?"

Jokes on me. My life was deteriorating in front of my eyes. I was just too blind to see it.

I nearly dropped out of school due to bad grades. I was looking to become a lawyer and felt like I had no control over my life anymore.

1. Accept total responsibility.

You are at your current situation because of you. Not because of any other external circumstances, not because of any force that is against you. But because of YOU and the choices that you made in the past. Once you accept full responsibility for your situation, you can change. You can change your choices – you can change your life.

One time, still in my gamer, smoking and drinking time, a friend of mine dragged me in the gym.

Although I didn't like exerting myself at all, I noticed early on that the gym helps me grow. It made me feel excited about the future. It made me feel truly and sustainably good about myself. Something I haven't felt in a while.

The results of training however were slow. I remember I was googling 2 weeks transformation and was dissatisfied with my results.

I wanted to give up multiple times on this journey of my body transformation. So I had 2 options: 1. Throwing in the towel or 2. Learning more about what I'm doing wrong.

I chose the latter - so I had to develop an insatiable need for knowledge.

I devoured dozens of books on the topic. Hired coaches. Got my degree in the Swiss Academy Of Fitness and Sports. And stumbled into veganism along the way after reading the book 'Eating Animals' by Jonathan Safran Foer (amazing book btw).

I went vegan after 2 years of training and it was the first time I ever saw a sixpack in my life.

2. The value of learning.

Strive for continuous education. After finishing school is when the education starts, not where it ends.

Right now I am training for about 8 years and am vegan for about 6 years. My blood test results are perfect, I have a sixpack year round and I can run a 10k, do martial arts and train in the gym.

Being in great shape is an enabler & an amplifier for your life. It makes everything way easier. You have more confidence, you have more energy, you feel mentally clear and you feel in control of your body.

Here’s how serious I am about this: If someone would offer me $1,000,000 to go back to where I was 8 years ago I’d decline. No thanks.

Realize that your body is your vehicle for life. The better you fuel it and the more you take care of your vehicle, the better your life will be. This was a key learning that I took from my 6 year (and ongoing!) vegan experience.

3. The only true asset that we have in this life, is our health.

Without health, we can’t enjoy relationships, we can’t enjoy our family, we can’t enjoy our wealth. Health therefore should always be a priority and be reflected by our lifestyle choices. Where we spend our time, where we spend our money and where we spend our energy.

FAST High-Protein Vegan Meal Prep (1 Hour Per Week!)

What I ate today while solo traveling, 100% vegan and gluten-free! Choice juicery smoothies, surfing in San Diego, lunch at Eve in Encinitas and a trip to Erewhon Market.

This is day 1 of an exercise in which I set myself the task of cooking 6 different meals on a total budget of £4
As usual, there will be rules and permissions - this time though, no animal products, and ambient (shelf-stable) purchased products only.
This video contains the shopping, some foraging and Day 1 of the menu. Teleportation is permitted.

It's important to note: this is NOT an attempt to 'play at being poor'* (although it did make me appreciate things that I normally take for granted), NEITHER is it an attempt to 'prove that people on benefits could get by with less' (in fact if anything, it proves the opposite - because this was a difficult thing to do - that's why it's called a 'challenge').
Primarily, this is an exercise that I set myself specifically to try to provoke a creative response; to nurture or develop transferrable skills of creativity and adaptability.

*nor in this case, make any kind of statement about vegan diets.

This is part 2 of our LA Vegan Fashion Week 2019 vlog. We were VIP attendees of the first ever Los Angeles Vegan Fashion Week and experienced a first look at select pieces created by animal-free designers from around the world. The show featured avant-garde designs including faux-leathers made from pineapple fibers and apple skins, as well as other items made with sustainable practices such as natural dyes and recycled materials. Also, we had a spur-of-the-moment interview with Jane Velez-Mitchell (aka Jane Unchained) and Moby! Amazing time and so excited for the noticeable change that coming in high fashion!

Benefits of being a vegetarian. A vegetarian is someone who doesn’t eat meant of any kind. No fish, no beef, no pork, nada. However this person may eat some animal products like honey, or eggs. A person can be a vegetarian for a number of reasons, moral, religious, or plain old dietary restrictions. Whether or not you’re a veggie, there are some benefits to this lifestyle, which we’ll explain coming up in this video!

Intro - 0:00
Vegans (total vegetarians): - 02:20
Lacto-ovo vegetarians: - 02:31
Lacto vegetarians: - 02:38
Ovo vegetarians: - 02:45
Partial vegetarians: - 02:52

Summary:
Vegans (total vegetarians): Do not eat meat, poultry, fish, or any products derived from
animals, including eggs, dairy products, and gelatin.
Lacto-ovo vegetarians: Do not eat meat, poultry, or fish, but do eat eggs and dairy products.
Lacto vegetarians: Eat no meat, poultry, fish, or eggs, but do consume dairy products.
Ovo vegetarians: Eat no meat, poultry, fish, or dairy products, but do eat eggs.
Partial vegetarians: Avoid meat but may eat fish (pescatarian) or poultry (pollo-vegetarian).
Sometimes people start off with becoming partial vegetarians, and then working your way up to full veggie, or vegan. LIke we said before, pick the one that works best for you and your personal choices.
Now, on to some great benefits of becoming a vegetarian.
1 - It’s just better for you: The fact that you’re choosing foods that are automatically less processed, and contain fewer chemicals means you’re being kinder to your body. We’re told from a very young age to eat our veggies, and by introducing them more into your diet, you’ll be giving you whole system the rush of vitamins and minerals it craves.

2 - Lowers your Cholesterol. Cholesterol only comes from consuming animal products, and some dairy. If you’re not eating any meat or full fat dairy products then you’re cutting out your cholesterol intake completely. HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL says having lower cholesterol has been shown to give you a longer life, and can reduce the risk of many chronic illnesses.

3 - Reduces the risk of diabetes. Because you’ll be eating things that are more natural, and less processed (like hot dogs) you’re likely to have lower blood sugar, reducing your risk of diabetes. Keep in mind, regular exercise is really important as well, but a plant-based diet can really make a difference.

4 - A healthy glow. Normally when people say you’re glowing it’s in reference to pregnancy. However, a vegetarian diet can help your skin appear more hydrated. Things like raw veggies that are water based will naturally put more water into your system. Also vegetables are packed with antioxidants that help fight off disease. The healthier you are inside, the more it’ll show on the outside.

5 - It’s good for your gut. You’ve probably heard the phrase “add more fiber” before. That’s because fiber keeps us regular, and is necessary for proper digestive health. Guess what has lots of fiber? Seeds! According to HEALTH LINE Chia seeds are one of the best sources of fiber on the planet! They also contain magnesium, phosphorus and calcium for an added benefit. Popcorn is also a great source of fiber. Not the stuff you buy at the movies, unfortunately that treat is usually dripping with butter and salt. We mean the kind you make at home, free of any extras. It’s a wonderful, quick and easy snack for a veggie.

Hi, I'm Melissa. I'm a 25 year old vet student, and for the last few years I've been living in a camper I renovated! I love animals, good food, travel, and living life to the fullest. Today I show you a typical day in my quarantine life as a high raw vegan. I usually follow the “Raw til 4” style, so I don’t eat anything cooked until dinnertime.

In this video I'm sharing 3+ easy vegan meal ideas that are great for travel, especially when you are going to the airport! These are my personal food hacks and all of the foods that I take with me when I travel. Let me know in the comments if you would like me to film more videos like this!

"Pamela, where can I find nice, good quality vegan men's shoes?" I get this question a lot from guys who want to move away from leather or already have but don't know what their options are for buying men's shoes. And we're not just talking casual sandals, we're talking nice, dress shoes that would wear to the office, a wedding or out to dinner.

Since I get asked this question a lot, I figured I would dedicate an episode to it, and I am glad I did! I thought I knew what options were out there for men but even I hadn't heard of some of the brands in today's video!

To be sure, there are some brands that aren't mentioned in this video that definitely deserve a look. So, check out just below for links to all of the brands highlighted in this episode, plus more that weren't but that you should know about if you're shopping for stylish vegan men's shoes!

Thanks for joining me as I raid my friend Carl's closet!
