Thinking about eating a plant-based diet? With the right healthy vegan recipes for weight loss, you can skip the meat and still have delicious, satiating meals!

Are you wondering what the veganism hype is all about?

Many celebrities have preached about how much better they feel after discarding animal products, and the shelves at the grocery store have become home to so many animal-free products.

In order to understand how veganism could be a healthy choice for you, we'd like to break down the pros and cons and outline the different reasons why people “go vegan.”

Read on to learn about the basics of veganism and to hear our favorite healthy vegan recipes for weight loss!

Here are some of the most effective meals and plant-based recipes for muscle building!

How Eating Vegan Can Make You Healthier

In 1994, veganism began as an offshoot of vegetarianism. Veganism is an eating lifestyle that prohibits all animal products, including:

  • Dairy
  • Meat
  • Eggs
  • Poultry
  • Bee products
  • Fish and seafood

While there are three main reasons that people choose to go vegan, the health benefits stand out as a great argument. 

  1. Health: Studies have indicated that a vegan diet promotes weight loss and will help you avoid hormones and antibiotics in food.
    Additionally, studies on the vegan diet have shown a reduction in heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer's.
  2. Environment: Avoiding animal products is the biggest way to reduce pressures on the environment, like water use and pollution.
  3. Animal rights: Some vegans express opposition to the physical and psychological stress that animals experience in modern agriculture.

You might be wondering … how will I be able to eat completely animal product-free? 

Many people who start a vegan diet start out by being “vegan-ish.” Cycling out animal products can be very difficult, knowing how integrated they are into our everyday lives.

If you're able to eliminate animal products from your snacks, breakfasts, lunches, and then dinners, you'll be on your way!

It's true — whether you use a skillet, slow cooker, or microwave, it's the ingredients that you're eating that make the difference in your body.
