Being a vegan is not an easy thing at all, I tried it some years back but I pulled out because it wasn't for me at all, it is not a thing I can continue, I so much give kudos to the vegetarians. I decided to lose some calories so I wish to stay off anything that has to do with me because I love to eat meat so much, I tried this for a week, eating only vegetables and fruit, though I lost some weight and I was happy but denying myself of what I love most is never for me.

To be a vegan takes only determination and discipline, you must learn how to discipline yourself so that you can attain what you want, during the time that I decided to lose some weight and be a vegan is when temptation started to roll in from my siblings, I thought I could do what others were doing by discipline myself for some months to get back to my perfect shape but what was when my siblings will buy different types of roasted meat with pepper to the house which was so frustrating and I couldn't take my eyes off this temptation.

When I wanted to start, I called them and informed them about my new journey, but they all laughed at me and said it wouldn't last for a day, I wanted to prove them wrong but they ended up proving me wrong, I tried so hard to convince them that I could do it, my siblings started buying pepper meat and suya to the house every night but on a normal day they wouldn't buy something like that, I ended up disappointing myself because it doesn't last for a week.

Being a vegan has its benefits and it is also healthy because too much meat is never good for the body, but for someone like me who can never take my eyes off meat then it is never for me and I do not think I can ever try that, Vegan diets tend to be lower in calories and saturated fat, leading to weight loss and improved body composition, being a vegan is also related to being on diet because it controls your intake and regulates your body system.

Also, we know that Fruits, vegetables, and other plant-based foods are rich in antioxidants, which help protect cells from oxidative damage and inflammation. So this is part of the benefit of being a vegan. According to research, A vegan lifestyle has been associated with lower risks of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and Alzheimer's disease. Being a vegan is by choice, it depends on everyone's desire but as for me, I can never try being a vegan not in this life or the next because it is another way of inconveniencing myself.
