Created several years ago on the initiative of the L214 association, the veganuary is a challenge modeled on the dry january: while the latter (which literally means “dry January”) consists of going without alcohol for the whole month of January, the veganuary invites us to try veganism, that is to say not to consume any animal products (no cream, no eggs, no butter, no meat, no fish…) for 30 days. Here are 3 good reasons to try:
- Veganism is not that complicated. To succeed in lasting 30 days (and why not more!), it is best to proceed in stages: instead of cutting yourself off directly from animal products, we introduce a “vegan” day in the week, then two, then three… We first work by substitution (for example: we replace cow’s milk with vegetable milk – soy, almond, spelled…) then we learn to compose our plates differently (with 1/3 of vegetables or fruit, 1/3 of vegetable). leafminers, 1/3 cereals and some oilseeds).
- Veganism allows you to discover new flavors. Tofu, tempeh, pumpkin seeds, seitan, buckwheat flour… Testing veganism is an opportunity to discover little-known flavors: it’s also a good opportunity to learn how to handle spices and herbs. Good news: by registering on the official website of the veganuaryyou can order a free recipe book to get started.
- Veganism is good for your health. It’s proven: the vegan diet helps us lose weight, reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and helps regulate blood pressure. Warning: before attacking your veganuary, consider asking your doctor for a green light, who may possibly prescribe you supplementation (including vitamin B12).
