I Went Plant-Based for 30 Days and These 6 Body Changes Took Me by Surprise
Veganism has been a mainstream lifestyle choice for over a decade now and the growing popularity is due to several reasons such as animal rights and environmental causes. Staying healthy is also a perk of being vegan and according to studies, a plant-based diet can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
While it does take time and preparation to be vegan–at least if you do it the healthy way, meaning not just eating frozen foods and junk–there are many other benefits. Eat This, Not That! spoke with several people who switched to a plant-based diet and here’s how it changed their energy levels and life.
1. Less Health Issues

Although Jerry Levine, Chief Evangelist & General Counsel at leading LegalTech company ContractPodAi, has been married to a vegan for 20 years, he didn’t make the switch until after his wife and doctor insisted.
“I had an upcoming physical, so I asked my doctor about going vegan, and she said (and I quote): “Actually, you have three choices: go vegan, start exercising, or die at 40.” I decided that going vegan was a lot better than exercising or dying.”
After Levine stopped eating animal products, he noticed a major shift in his health.
“I have significantly more energy than I did before going vegan,” he said. “I was borderline (if not actually) obese, with diagnosed sleep apnea,” he explained. “I was on many medications that a 35-year-old shouldn’t be on—cholesterol, statins, blood pressure, etc.”
