Great video Morgan! Thanks for showing how accessible being vegan can be. Going vegan for one month means you saved 33,000 gallons of water, 30 animal lives, 900 sq feet of forest and 600 lbs of CO2!!
Great statistics! I knew about the water. Could you tell us the source of the others? BTW don't put the links in or UA-cam deletes it.
@@someguy2135 check out “the vegan calculator” to see your personal impact. His sources are linked on his site :)
@@Rachelizabethompson3 Thank you! I will do that. I will cite this in my debates online.
I think this video shows how in order to go vegan you really have to do it for the animals. I tried to go vegan for my health and skin and could never stick with it for more than 2 days, but once I educated myself on everything i never craved meat again, now i've been vegan for 5 years!! Also I know you have those little ice cream cones sometimes, diya makes a lot of little frozen ice creams theyre sooo bomb if you want to keep limiting dairy but have yummy dessert, definitely a good option hahah
Also, proud of you for doing this and showing how accessible being vegan can be, i always think if everyone went more plant-based rather than a few people going completely vegan it would help so much more so hopefully you inspire people to try a few vegan meals :)
@@madisonelyse6517 Thank you! I definitely don't see myself going fully vegan, but I do make an effort to cut back. Totally agree with you - every small effort helps!
Agree!! Once you start doing it for the animals it’s the easiest decision ever. And now a couple of years later of not having meat, I couldn’t think of anything more gross 😂
thissss
I batch cook salsa, soyrizo, tofu scramble, beans, potatoes, and rice for breakfast burritos. You can mix together different combinations when you assemble your burritos and store in the fridge in a big container. All you have to do is heat up when you’re ready to eat!
Lettuce Feast LA has spicy vegan fried chicken tenders and sandwiches !!!
I’m a pescatarian and loved this video! I love how you documented the experience
Yess! I have constantly struggled my whole life with eczema, and I went vegan for 30 days. I was shocked how I felt “lighter”, my face cleared up, and my eczema CLEARED. 10/10 recommend this if you have skin issues! Or at least the Non-Dairy part!
In the speaking parts you look INCREDIBLE. Your hair looks so healthy and shiny, your skin is glowing, you just look amazing
I've been a vegan for two years (I'm 69), and one thing I do NOT miss is chicken or cheese. I was never bothered by either food -- I ate them only because I thought you had to to be healthy.
Guess I was lucky. I had no cravings whatsoever when I changed over.
Processed vegan food is still processed haha. There are definitely lots of unhealthy vegan food available. I think the less you eat meat the less you crave it, that's what has happened with me as I have eaten a lot more plant-based for the past few years. I'm not vegan or vegetarian but I do enjoy eating lots of vegetarian/vegan food nowadays. It's definitely better for the planet. 😊
I also absolutely love eggs and once a week or so I make avocado toast with an egg. Thats the only thing I eat which is not vegan but I think Its much more important to try your best to eat as much vegan as you can instead of restricting yourself which can make staying vegan so much more diffucult!
Just egg is a good replacement i love it
@o o comments like this will never encourage anyone to go vegan lol
Pile pan fried mushrooms on top of avocado toast and a little balsamic vinegar on top yummy
You should also do a low-waste/plastic free challenge! Also so good for the environment
I love your challenge videos , they are so fun!
Instead of of eggs you can use Just Egg it’s a egg replacement that kind of tastes like scrambled eggs
girl you have veggie grill!! literally the best vegan fast food place ever!!
Soooo good lol
I was waiting for this video since a monthhh
So excited it's here🥰🥰
Yay!!!!
You should try Purple Carrot, it's a vegan meal delivery service.
yes!!!
It’s soooooo good
I’ve been adding pumpkin syrup to iced americanos as a pumpkin latte replacement.
I like that even though you slipped up, you kept going :)
Im a vegetarian and dairy free and I was getting alot of acne on my chin and cheeks but when I started wearing a fresh face mask everyday it mostly cleared up.
Loved this video! Good job!
I love your challenge videos!
Well done on trying, your lunch bowl with kale sweet greens looked amazing. I've been vegan for 2.5 years, was veggie for over 40 years. So really don't remember what meat tastes like. I think if you try again you will know what to look for and make better choices. I'm glad your skin cleared up (one of the perks) main perk is you saved so many animals, :)))))))
Can you please do more housing content especially w organization!!
An amazing breakfast I've eaten for over a year now everyday is tofu scramble. Get the medium firm tofu and cut up some veggies fry it up with some basil and salt and peppa and add some turmeric to make the tofu look like actual scrambled (but also has some great nutritional benefits to turmeric) and boom delish breakie. I also add a bit of hot sauce.
i LOVEEE these challenges!!!
Such a great video! I remember my first month of being vegan and definitely mistakes were made but happy to see that didnt stop you from sticking to your goal!
i would love to see you try this again and try more alternatives for cheese and meat and made at home ideas
Yo, tofu scrambles saved my breakfasts. I've been vegan for four months now and I was the same way with egg avocado toast - it was life for me. Then I discovered the proper tofu scramble (throw some seasoned, oven roasted baby potatoes in the scramble and spinach) and you will have a great breakfast for the next three mornings! The key is to season appropriately! Check out pinterest recipes! Congrats on the thirty days!
I’ve been vegan for 5 years and it’s so interesting to see someone go through the early process haha I forget that it was hard at first 😂 best thing I’ve ever done for myself I love it!!
You can be vegan or even just dairy free and have eggs. If it’s one thing you can’t give up it’s a lot better then not going vegan at all.
@o o I agree but the all or nothing mentality keeps people from making changes due to feeling polarized and gives vegans a bad reputation.
You are not vegan if you eat eggs or dairy. Its called something else : vegetarian.
@o o chill we are all on the same side here ❤️
@@SamanthaKimC if I wanna call myself vegan I’ll do it. Thanks for you input. You can call yourself whatever you want.
@@brittanycarney1101 you don't have to go for the all or nothing approach, but if you're not vegan, you're not vegan lmao
It's a really simple concept
Vegan food can be tricky where eggs/milk, etc can be in it🙂! You need to careful and not get upset if you happen to eat or drink something from animals. I believe if you’re plant based for health reasons most people won’t stick with it as if you do it for the animals you mostly stay with it for the love of animals😇 with that said, I’m proud of you tried that you a plant based diet for 30 days👍🏻 so you messed up a little🙂!...You’re right it’s not that hard to be vegan! I tell people Vegan is easy! Raw diet is hard, like eating just fruits, vegetables is hard. I just want to say rather you know or not please keep animals in mind in what they go through on farms and slaughter houses which I won’t get into b/c I think you may know the misery & pain the animals are going through! P.S. your friend who said, I never literally could never go vegan because of Chicken, please tell her she can go vegan because there are delicious vegan food that taste like chicken✌🏻Good luck with everything Morgan😀
Loved this!!! 😍🙌🏼
I love your content so just feedback from a subscriber, I think it would be cool to edit an upbeat intro that has clips from the whole video to make people stay for the whole thing so they know what's coming. Hope to see you continue to grow!
Love you and this video!!!
This is such an entertaining and motivating video! 😀❤️
I love Sweetgreen and Veggie Grill!!
As a vegan I love this! Thank you for being honest and showing your mess ups bc I have eaten a pretzel and it had animal products I had no clue I felt terrible, that was when I was new tho. Mistakes happen but we just gotta flush that bad stuff out of our body
@ 6:35 that's actually why I became dairy free - acne all around my chin got really bad. so thankfully it doesn't come back unless I occasionally have queso or something.
Loved this video because I’ve been vegan for four years! Giving up dairy can be amazing for your skin!! I know you were missing some vegan desserts but, I promise, there are plenty! The frozen chocolate covered bananas from TJ’s and Ben and Jerry’s Almond Milk Ice Cream are my faves. But I can totally relate on missing fried chicken. The only thing I miss, even years later, is chick fila! But it’s easy not to cave in if you go vegan for ethical reasons I think!
watch the doc earthlings and you will not eat meat again
I'm vegetarian, loved this video!!
Hello I just wanted to comment that you are beyond beautiful and admire your commitment to your goal! I have cut back on animal products and simply love watching others learn new things like all your new meals. BTW what bran is your blender with the black handle? I loved it
You don't have to eat green stuff, kale and quinoa everyday, things like nutritional yeast, chickpeas, yams, spaghetti squash, sweet potatoes, beans, curry and jackfruit are great alternatives.
You are so creative
?
Pile pan fried mushrooms on top of avocado toast and a little balsamic dressing you will be in seventh heaven
We love a vegan positive video
I’m excited to see the video, I wonder what going vegan would be like!! 💖
Great job! I think you should look at other vegan youtubers like Avante Garde Vegan, Nikki Vegan, Edgy Veg, Fully Raw Kristina, Ghetto Vegans, Sophia Esperanza, Sweet Potato Soul, Sweet Simple Vegan, The Happy Pear, Bosh, Rachel Ama, and the Viet Vegan for meal inspiration. Of course there are many great others, but I just wanted to name a few. Also, maybe you can try the 'just egg' with a little black salt for your avocado toast or add tomatoes/seasoned mashed chickpeas/ tofu to it. Violife is a good vegan cheese. So Delicious has good desserts. The Beyond Burger is a good vegan burger and pairs well with the Violife Smoked Cheddar. There is also this restaurant called Souley Vegan for Vegan Chicken Tenders and Louisiana southern foods. Gardein is good as well. Buddha Bowls are a quick way to get more veggies in, and you can meal prep for them. Also, Starbucks has dairy free alternatives.
I kind of wonder if you were getting strong cravings at the end because you weren’t eating enough total calories? A whole foods diet, especially vegan, is going to be inherently low calorie and still satiating so you might have to intentionally eat more nuts and nutrient dense food to compensate.
You definitely have to eat more as a vegan. Heaps of people have that problem when they first start it because they aren’t eating enough food .
That is not true there are plenty of vegan foods that are also higher calorie (nuts & seeds, nut butters ect ect)
trader joes has cheese less cheescakes in the frozen section that are vegan and are SO BOMB
Omg going to try!!
Yes it’s AMAZING ❤️
listen you need to have a strong reason to go vegan that will help you stay vegan. i am vegan because animals do not want to die and deserve to live. that helps and morally eating animals in my opinion is wrong. just a thought!
I've been vegan for over 3 years not and the cravings stopped for me after a couple months and my taste buds changed, it is super easy to do now once you get the hang of it you don't even think about it! Here to tell you its not that bad and I seriously enjoy it so much :) also ps. meal prepping is any busy persons best friend!!
Do you have any issues with iron or any other nutrients? I’m trying to go vegan and some people are scaring me by saying I’m going to be malnourished.
@@kelseyadkins1787 not at all! As long as you don't eat junk food for every meal, and eat decently balanced, you will be completely fine! I've had blood work done countless times and my levels of iron and stuff are completely normal, vegans being malnourished is a myth that has been disproven :)
@@kelseyadkins1787 You have to do your own research but as a vegan for almost two years, I never ever was scared of going malnourished or being on deficit for iron, protein or omega. You have to take care of yourself and your system but you have no reason to go in deficit if you make good research. You'll then be ready and set for life :)
You should definitely try the vegan Oh She Glows cookbook❤
How does the food taste?
Did you lose weight or body fat?
Girl loves her Mexican! 👌
Also, not all wines are Vegan. Some contain a protein that is found in milk or sometimes they add Egg whites. 🤷♀️ If you really want to know (even though your challenge is over), you can Google your favorite brands and see. 💕
making sure you have a low glycemic index diet (low sugar, low grains) because breads and crackers and rice spikes your GI and can cause you to break out. Maybe try gluten-free
I completely agree. I tried going dairy free but was still breaking out, that’s when I realize sugar was the culprit for me. Now I watch both, my dairy and sugar intake.
Literally me eating Chick-fil-A while watching this🙃😂
Great video!!!! I think it’s so much more realistic to not label vegan and do it like 80% of the time. It is still so much better for skin or whatever reasons are to go vegan. No need to be 100% at anything! You don’t eat meat 100% of the time, ya gotta live a sustainable lifestyle
I would love to try going vegan but I think there are very little options in NC.
Hi ,, love your videos 💕
I like how even though you loved the spy chorizo you acknowledged that it's heavily processed lol
Amazing 🤞🏽 😻🤙
It's good to listen to your body. If dairy doesn't work do have it. But if meat works than go for it ♥️
My fav vegan food in LA you have to try (!!!!):
Pura Vita !!!!! (best italian EVER)
Nics on Beverly (Cutest date spot)
Sage
H.O.P.E.
Montys or Honeybee Burger!
Mohawk Bend
Plant Power (they have chicken nuggets !!!!)
Maybe try vegetarian for a month or week! IMO, it’s a bit less restrictive! I’m vegetarian 3 years no slip ups!
Years ago, I picked fruit and vegetables in Ontario to pay for school. To this day, the cries of the tomatoes being ripped from the vine and the screams of ears of corn being shucked, haunt me!
@o o Aaahh..both, and bacon and cheese! With a corn salsa on the side!
@o o Just trying to lighten things up a little, you missed the whole "bacon, cheese, corn salsa" thing...don't get me started about the innocent carrots...
@o o I'm not addicted to meat either... now, perfectly prepared meat...
@o o Thanks for understanding...it's not just the "land" animals...the available seafood is amazing...lobster, shrimp, scallops and the fish...sea bass, halibut, codfish! An addiction I tell you, an addiction!
@o o Thanks, now all can think about is bacon...
I would love to go vegan because I know it’s better for the Earth but I love meat to much. So I’m definitely going to try going vegan for a month. I’m going to try doing that like once a year or something.
I should make a skillshare course on how to make oatmeal cuz girl it certainly is not BAD OMG I am sad
hahahaha
What’s funny is that McDonald’s fries aren’t even vegan lololol
Did you watch Cowspiracy and other documentaries that might make it easier for your meat cravings? The hormones and antibiotics and other stuff might help you. I’m going to try mostly raw vegan for August 23. I have been “practicing” but have an important event I will be eating chicken for in September. After that my intention is to eat vegan because I feel so much better eating that way and trying to heal antibiotic damage.
Wait is that sunflower butter?
Yes!
Hey Morgan
Once you are part of the vegan community you really begin learning about the incredibly wide and diverse food that is available to you. Anything you can eat as an omnivore you can eat vegan, including fried chicken, cheese boards, ice cream, etc. Like many others said, you really need to go vegan for the right reasons in order to stick to it. I am at a point in my life where I could NEVER go back. One of my favorite things to make is Indian inspired foods like chickpea masala, lentil dal. Healthy is more than just greens. If you incorporate seeds, legumes, etc it's a life changer.
I need this kind of motivation. How did you stay committed 🥴
Whenever I'm not feeling something I ask myself "am I willing to let ___ get in the way of my goal?"
props to you bc i dont think i can cut out eggs. i eat eggs for breakfast almost every morning
Just egg is a good replacement for eggs:)
I call myself a practicing vegan. I only cook vegan at home and buy vegan options at restaurants, but if I ever crave something non-vegan I treat myself to something once a month or so (dairy ice cream, fried chicken, chicken dumplings, etc.). That way I don't feel bad eating meat or dairy because I know it's not an everyday thing and I am doing other things to be plant-based and sustainable.
You should check out Melissa Merk's UA-cam channel. She is not vegan but she has shared her skin problems related to PCOS. Melissa follows a diet which is largely gluten free.
ur so cutie!! i hope my vids are this cute one day hehe
If you love Main Chick, gotta try Dave’s Hot Chicken when you’re off the vegan diet 🤤
go to Plant Power and get a fried chicken sandwich
I wish I could go vegan... for 30 days too.
I just posted a fall day in my life video! https. I know it’s a long shot that anyone will
Go watch but I’m hustling and trying to do more things that bring me joy! 🧡🖤
I feel like this was just one big ad for trader joes
Good, authentic video. Watch Game Changers and Cowspiracy and Peaceable Kingdom and Racing Extinction. These documentaries and others will help you understand the myriad reasons beyond health for embracing a humane plant-based diet.
Can we get a carnivore for 30 days diet, just for the sake of comparison?
vegan by day omni by night lmao
I tried it for a week and I couldn’t do it anymore lol I’m a vegetarian btw
🥩
Just Egg
Thirty days eating local is best for the environment. Try doing twenty miles or so.
McDonald's fries aren't actually vegan because they're fried in lard 🙃
HAHAHAH L;OOK IAM NIOT VEGAN AND NOT A KNOW IT ALL HEY I MITE BE WRONG CHOCLATE AINT VEGAN I THINK LOL
You went plant based for 30 days. Veganism is an ethical stance.
It can be more than just ethical based. A lot of people want to go vegan for health or environmental reason
That food is still not healthy 😄😄
You've fallen victim to the same misconception that most people have, i.e., conflating plant-based eating and veganism. Veganism is about the rights of animals, not what you eat. Therefore, one can't conveniently go "vegan" for 30 days. That's analogous to someone saying that they won't be racist, sexist, or homophobic for a month. You can understand how ridiculous that would be, right? If you're against an injustice, then that becomes part of your moral fiber, not just a passing fancy that you frivolously try out. I know that the caption "I Tried Eating Plant-Based for 30 Days" doesn't have the same appeal as "I Tried Going VEGAN for 30 Days", but it's would be more accurate. People who go vegan for the animals don't find it difficult to remain vegan. People who go vegan for health, the environment, or any other reason, find it easy to go back to being non-vegan. Hopefully, you might consider true veganism in the future where you focus your attention on the tens of billions of land animals and trillions of sea creatures that are exploited, commodified and slaughtered each year. Please check out the documentaries "Dominion", "Earthlings", and "What the Health" (just a sampling, there are many others) for inspiration and the reasons why going vegan is the least you can do for the animals. Good luck!
YES EXACTLY! veganism is more than just eating.. its everything! what you buy for clothes and also buying vegan products for your home!
Thanks for your thoughtful comment Todd! I totally see the difference, and originally did go on a long tangent in the video about how veganism goes beyond just the food for most vegans. I ended up cutting it out because I didn't feel like I was conveying my point well, but I'm with you on there being a difference between vegan & plant-based. I do think it's a lot harder/less realistic to convince most of the population to go fully vegan (myself included), which is why I hoped to show people that eating plant-based doesn't have to be that difficult. Even if people switch to a few days of plant-based eating a week, it's better than nothing in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
There is not a strict rule set to being vegan guys lol
@@brittanycarney1101 I don’t believe that I’m being pretentious for explaining what it means to be vegan. As I said in my comment, would we be so lenient with people who were only part-time anti-racist? “I Tried Being Ant-racist for 30 Days”? Afterwards, I was mainly anti-racist, but on that rare occasion I discriminate against someone it’s because it’s to my advantage to do so. Surely you can understand why this isn’t acceptable. How about “I’m Against Pedophilia for the Next Month.” However, after this trial period, I’ll be alright with someone who only molests children once a month. You see, when there’s a victim involved, there isn’t a convenient gray area. Hey, I applaud anyone who is making the effort to transition towards veganism by eating a plan-based diet. However, this doesn’t equate to being a vegan who is against ALL exploitation, abuse and slaughtering of innocent sentient beings. (By the way, the egg industry is one of the most heinous. And don’t be fooled by the “free range” BS.) That takes a moral commitment in which you align your moral values with your actions in regards to honoring the rights of animals. No one is saying that animals are equal to humans, but they have worth. Therefore, it’s the responsibility of humans, who possess moral agency, to protect those rights. Anyway, my initial comment was to distinguish between veganism and a plant-based diet. I never inferred that I was against anyone who is trying to reduce the meat/diary/eggs in their diet. It was never about being “protective over a label.”
Animals are not children lol
educate yourself on the food industry and how gross and horrible animals are treated and killed.. that might make you feel empathetic and not want to eat animals.
And if not for animals there is the environment and ethic aspect of it also. The amount of food that are fed to livestock is insane , could literally feed a country
Literally sitting here watching this with my ground beef, bacon, eggs, and cheese! I'm 4 months into eating carnivore and feeling **amazing**! But hey, different strokes for different folks! If vegan works for you, then good on ya. However, from what I've been reading, veganism isn't "obviously better for the environment," and I think there is some debate to be had there. It's an interesting topic!
that is not healthy and bad for the environment and literally killing animals.
@@yes24__ *shrugs* Tell that to my improving body weight and abundance of energy.
@@BaileyConnell short term yeah, long term .. no. I don't know why you would choose a way that negatively impacts not just yourself. you can easily get that same abundance of energy by eating more plant based and less meat and dairy. The sources used for your diet supporting that it's not bad for the environment are flawed and have been debunked many times but idk I guess "fake news" when it's convenient.
@@ThatClassicGirlXO exactly, fake news when its convenient 🤣
@@BaileyConnell what is convenient about trying to have less impact on the environment negatively. Nothing that we need to do to that has a positive affect in any ways of our life is easy or convenient but that's why people don't want to change. Because we are comfortable with everything being quick, convenient , thinking everything here is for us and made for us. Everyone hates the movement or any movement that says otherwise and there are obvious reasons for that. For example most people love trump because all he does is tell his country that it's the best country in the world and that everything is okay all the time.
I'm just going to put this out there: the belief that consuming plants and only plants is 'good" for the environment is a misapprehension to say the least. Ruminants actually contribute back to the soil literally fertilizing it. In the U.S. livestock accounts for 25% of agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. So where is the rest coming from? Also if you think that going vegan to "save the animals" actually saves the animals, go talk to a farmer and they'll be glad to let you know how many small animals are killed during harvesting. There is no doubt that animal-based agriculture could do much better, but the blanket statements that people make that going vegan basically solves everything are deeply flawed. And by the way, there are certain essential nutrients (meaning you will get very sick without them) that come solely from animals in their natural form. There's a reason you crave meat. Nevermind the significantly increased bioavailability of nutrients in meat, fish, and eggs compared to vegetable sources... Otherwise, make sure you're getting enough protein and enjoy your synthetic supplements. Toodles.
Gal you talk too fast, am sure you do you tube for people to listen, slow down
