#62: One Month Trying Vegan
Oliver Wright and Liam Stacey join us on the podcast to talk about their Veganuary journey as newly minted vegans with just a little over a month under their belts. They share how much they've learned, how their families are handling the change, and if they'll be able to stick to it in the long run.
LISTEN HERE OR ON SPOTIFY OR APPLE PODCASTS
Introducing Ollie and Liam from the “Two Guys, One Topic” podcast! On their show, they teach us all about their findings on various topics that are interesting to learn about. This time, they’ve put what they learned about veganism into practice by trying out eating a plant-based diet for a month (6 weeks now, actually), and we had them on the show to tell us all about it!
For those of us who are already vegan, this is a nostalgic reminder of the early days of your vegan life. For those who have been thinking about ditching animal products, this episode has some helpful nuggets of information to guide you through the process.
You might want to share this one with anyone who’s been considering the vegan life!
Enjoy!
♡ Michelle & Toni
