Thinking about skipping out on meat and dairy? Going vegan is becoming increasingly more common, but is it actually good for you?

What happens to your body when you go vegan?

Thinking of making the jump to a vegan diet? You’re not alone.

In your first few weeks, you may feel especially tired. Without meat, vegans often have a hard time getting enough vitamin B12 and iron, which helps make red blood cells and transport oxygen throughout the body. But it’s nothing a supplement or handful of nuts can’t fix.

You may also discover that foods don’t taste the way they used to. That’s because your zinc levels have taken a hit, affecting your overall sense of taste and smell.

On the plus side, expect to lose some weight right away! After switching, new vegans lost an average of 10 pounds over a 10 month period. Plus, a 2009 study found that average BMI was lower for vegans than all other diets.

Another benefit that you may experience is a healthy decrease in cholesterol, blood pressure, and heart disease risk. In 1999, a study showed that vegans were 24% less likely to have clogged arteries from saturated fat and cholesterol.

While your arteries are better off, your bones may not be. If you’re like most Americans who get their daily calcium from dairy products, you may see a dip in calcium levels.

But you can combat this simply by boosting your intake of kale, broccoli, and other leafy greens. Plus, cutting out dairy might make you more … regular. 60% of humans don’t have the enzyme to properly digest lactose in dairy. The result is cramping, bloating, and even diarrhea. Swapping dairy with high fiber veggies will make bathroom trips a lot more productive.

Like any diet, veganism has its pros and cons. Be sure to research and see which diet is best for you.

Hey guys, we were talking wit Douglas about this nice valley near to Acahay in Paraguay. He is locking for some vegan people to save the forest in this area and plant some new trees.

Are you vegan or just interested in following a plant based diet around your cycling? Or are you a vegetarian bike rider? Regardless of whether you want to go vegan or just try eating a few vegan meals a week, we've put together 5 tips to help you eat healthily and maintain the energy you need to train at your best!

Not all exercises are suitable for everyone - there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. As with any strenuous exercise, you should take into account factors such as your flexibility, strength and overall health to determine if an exercise is appropriate for you, and consult a doctor/physician before beginning a programme of exercise. Discontinue your exercise session immediately if you experience any pain, dizziness or discomfort.
Partaking in training sessions following GCN's video instruction is entirely at your own risk, and Global Cycling Network, its partners and its affiliated companies cannot be held responsible for any injuries which may occur as a result of these exercises.

FRIDGE REORGANIZATION TIME! A clean refrigerator = a clean lifestyle. I have been wanting to cook more food at home and meal prep, but without an organized fridge, it's been difficult to achieve that goal. So it was time to declutter, organize and start cleaning out my fridge! Time for a KITCHEN ORGANIZATION! At the end of the deep clean, I give you a fridge tour and show you what's in my fridge!

By working with @horderly (my favorite personal organization team), I learned how to clean your fridge, how to organize your kitchen, and how to simplify your space. I picked up a ton of home organizing and spring cleaning tips for an overall organized and clean kitchen.

I totally overhauled my refrigerator and made it as sustainable as possible (HELLO Package Free glass jars!), while also making it highly functional for me and my wellness lifestyle.

You'll notice we don't have any meat in the fridge. While Michael and I do eat meat, we just prefer not to cook it ourselves at home, so we typically purchase our meat already cooked from high-quality restaurants and grocers. That's why this fridge contains mostly fruits & veggies! 🌶 🌽 🥒 🍆 🥕 🥔 🥗 🍠 🍅

- Deep cleaning
- Clearing out fridge

Welcome (back) to my channel! In this video you will get a look into my sustainable art studio while I make my own vegan watercolour paint.

I started making vegan watercolour paint, because I have a line of vegan PhD theses with my company GreenThesis. I wanted to be able to offer completely vegan design too.

So why vegan watercolour paint? Regular watercolour paint uses a variety of animal-derived products. Most paints for example contain ox gall and/or glycerine made from animal fat. In my previous watercolour paint recipe I already eliminated these animal-based ingredients by using plant-based glycerine and skipping the ox gall altogether. However, I did use honey, which isn't vegan either, so I decided to also search for alternatives to honey, and I'm very happy with the results. In addition, I also don't use animal-derived pigments in my vegan paints (for example bone black, eggshell white, carmine and sepia). On a side note, paper also isn't necessarily vegan, because they are often sized using for example gelatin, made from animal bones. Thus I also searched for vegan paper alternatives and my favourite vegan paper to use for my vegan designs is now agave or bamboo paper by Hahnemuhle, which is certified vegan.

The paint I make today uses French ochre, basically soil, which I ground, sift and purify to get a fine pigment. The pigment is then used to make watercolour paint, using my own vegan watercolour binder.

I love making my own paint. It takes a lot of work for just one color, usually several hours if you make everything from scratch, but it is so satisfying, and it really lets you connect to the source of art, the raw materials. Fortunately, with watercolour paint, a little goes a long way, so the paint I make will last for months.

For those interested: for my vegan binder I used gum arabic, distilled water and vegetable glycerine (1:2:1 ratio), and a drop of clove oil as a natural preservative.

If you try your hand at making your own watercolour paint at home, please take the proper precautions, such as protective gear, and only use non-toxic materials. This video is meant as an inspirational video only.

I was recently introduced to the Seitan Appreciation Society on Facebook by commenter Nigel and his recipe for seitan vegan bacon! It looked so good I had to try to make my own version of it!


The goal of SauceStache is to continue trying something new, something new to me and something different.
I find inspirations from you the SauceSquad and my constant hunt of social media to see what food is being made around the globe and how can I try to make it. Lets try to make some food and have fun!!
