I ❤️ being vegan, and chances are (since you’re reading a vegan blog) so do you! We know in our hearts that we’re doing the right thing, but it can still be difficult to quantify just how right it is…
Well, not anymore, thanks to Victoria Moran! Her newest book, The Good Karma Diet, breaks it all down for us – how eating ethically is not only a powerful way to stay healthy, it also gives you good karma!
I started reading this book Saturday morning and couldn’t put it down. It has recipes, it has a great history on veganism, and it’s well written. It pulls you in. My best part are the individual stories of people who’s karma (and life!) has been improved by their food choices. Wonderful, feel-good stories.
Everything about this book is designed to either confirm your choice to be vegan, or, if you’re still hedging, to help you make the choice to go all the way. I’ve already loaned my copy to a friend who has been considering veganism (I think it will convince her!), and I’m already planning who else I’ll lend it to when I get it back.

I love knowing that I have saved so many animals. It is crazy for people to rationalize eating one type of animal and not others. All animals should be treated equally and not eaten. I also love the health benefits. I am in so much better shape physically and mentally.
I love knowing I’m helping animals, the planet and that I’m taking better care of myself.
Although the benefit to animals is undeniable, for me the best benefit has been being able to be a role model for other people. Many have extremely negative perceptions about veganism and I think it important to show others that you can eat according to principles and still be a ‘regular’ person.
I also love the fact that no animals were killed or exploited for my food or lifestyle.
Sorry in advance if this is too “New Age” for you. But, going vegan allowed me to heal psychic wounds that I didn’t even know were there. Knowing that I am living as compassionate a life as possible changed something inside me. I am a different, and I believe better, person now. That’s the best part for me.
I love the way I FEEL eating plant-based. Knowing I am helping the earth by eating this way feels great too!
For me, being vegan was knowing that I was doing the right thing, even though the large percent of the population still consume meat. It is refreshing not only knowing that I am helping out animals, but my body feels 100 times better than when I was consistently making poor dietary choices. At this point in time, we have a choice in what we eat, we don’t have to rely on the mindless killing and inhumane torture of animals in order to sustain our current lives, we can choose to live an alternative lifestyle.
Feeling good about eating clean and the way it has effected my health
Actually, I’m not vegan. Yet. I’ve been vegetarian for 10 years and since New Years I only cook vegan at home. So I’m getting there. I feel better, healthier and happier on a guilt-free diet. No bad feelings, which is what bothered me most.
Since I switched to a plant based diet my energy soared! And bonus!!! I finally lost those 25 lbs I’ve struggled with losing for many years. But above all, I like that my diet is helping the earth and not harming any animals. The more I read the more secure I am that this is the right oath for my health and the health of the world I live in.
Hard choice between eating lots more food than if I was eating on an omniviours diet. But I would never keep going if it wasn’t for the animals.
feeling healthy!
My favorite part of being vegan is knowing that I am not only doing the best thing for my health, but also for the environment and for the animals!
My favorite part about being vegan is making something that’s healthy and cruelty free, then serving it to someone who thinks they won’t like vegan food but ends up thinking its just as good or better than the non-vegan version.
I’m still striving towards a 100% vegan diet (and yes Barb, I can sense your stink eye through the interwebs!), but I feel good knowing that I committed to a vegetarian lifestyle, even though I was convinced I could never do it. Progress, not perfection!
The best part of being vegan is knowing I’m not causing any unnecessary suffering to another being. The health benefits are a pretty sweet bonus too!
To be honest, my favorite thing is visiting farmer’s markets and farm stands and “pigging out” on veggie buying. Cooking such fresh veggies feels like the nicest luxury in the world.
I love being vegan because it not only makes me feel good morally but also physically..it’s a win win situation..they animals live and I hopefully live longer by choosing to eat healthier:-)
Being vegan has helped me eat clean and become healthier and happier.
