What Really Happens To Your Body When You Go Vegan

Going vegan is a big step to take, especially if you are a meat lover. You may be making the dietary change for various reasons. It could be because you watched a life-changing documentary or it could be for health reasons.

Whatever the reason that has led you to become a vegan, it’s safe to say that there will be some growing pains and temptations that come with this new diet. Weddings might be tough, especially if you have to watch everyone else chow down on a juicy tenderloin steak while you are stuck with the quinoa patty.

Your body will go through some changes as well, but once you get past these obstacles and changes it should be smooth sailing. This is what happens to your body when you go vegan.

I feel like it is impossible to not get enough protein on a plant based diet. I don't even try to get protein and I still go over my daily need most times. I'm so glad I went vegan though, not just to help the world but because I'm losing weight effortlessly. I've never been able to do that.

I've been vegan since June 2015 and it cured my asthma, INCREDIBLE athletic performance, and boosted my immune system SO much :DD

can we stop with the protein bullshit? its getting old

[JenniferWoellert]

Bloating!? Haha- I thought my husband was going to leave me in the beginning. The gas was out.of.control! Lol

[LLawliet-pzrm]

I've gained weight while being vegan and my protein intake and taste buds are fine. But seriously...

STOP WITH THE FUCKING PROTEIN, MY GOD.

[elisabethhasselgreen]

it's very, very, very easy to get enough protein no matter what your diet consists of. don't worry about that. but do consider vitamin B12 and D. at least vitamin D if you live in a colder climate. where i live (in norway) people eat a lot of fish and such, but still over 50% of the population has a vitamin D deficiency, so it's not just a vegan concern, neither is a vitamin B12 deficiency

Clearly not made by a vegan, but at least not that bad

[annadalgetty]

The "facts" are so so inaccurate, please do more research! You would literally have to stop eating food to not get any protein. And going vegan doesn't mean you start eating nothing but veggies, there is vegan junk food and it's really really good.

When you're vegan and don't waste life worrying about protein and can lift VERY heavy weight 😶😔😧😳
I'M NOT WEAK AT ALL, DANG FLABBIT!
*crawls back under rock*

[paulineleroy]

just stop with protein 😂
egg and meat have TO MUCH protein and WAY MORE FAT just stop saying that protein is soooo important 😣😧

[jubilee_junction]

Pretty sure I recover better on a vegan diet without taking protein shakes and my senses of taste is doing fine without zinc supplements lol

[joyce]

I am happy that this video did not totally bash vegans. ALSO ALL VEGANS EAT NUTRITIONAL YEAST! IT NATURALLY CONTAINS B12 AND MANY OTHER ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS

[meowglab]

What she doesn't mention is that the human body doesn't need that much protein lol.

[fReAkLaNcEr]

I eat meat because I love the taste, and my vegetarian friend hates meat because she hates the taste of meat.
We're still friends.

[alyssathomson]

yes the protein and the taste ones were basically lies.. however I still like that this video was mostly positive about going vegan and a couple of it's advantages. so yay to this despite the flaws :)

[RnbFreeeak]

I went vegan three years ago and ever since I haven't been sick at all! :)

[nancydrew]

I wish there were more videos out there about the not so nice stuff that happens to you when you go vegan. I experienced all of the above and was dizzy all the time and nearly fainted on many occasions. If we want to transition, and know what to expect, then it will help people to stay with it and not think that they are having bad reactions to it. also, everyone's body process things differently. Remember that. We all look different on the outside so why wouldnt the way our insides work be different?

I went vegan for a month but had to go to a family dinner and I was forced to eat meat but it felt like when it I went vegan it like cleansed and refreshes my body in a way. Definitely going vegan though again.

[MinhaChoi]

Been vegan for 9 months and haven't lost a pound.

I’ve noticed that digestion is so much more efficient now that I’m vegan. I used to have digestive issues but I’ve been vegan for about 6 months and I everything works like a charm now. 😁
