A quick post.
Being vegan does not necessarily mean one is healthy, thin, etc. However, going vegan, I did not want to become more unhealthy than I was. Since going vegan I have made a gradual progression to unhealthy eating (most of this transition was after my move to Knoxville). Because I am a student again, I stay up later and get hungry, I snack when I study, when I am bored, and in general when I am at home. I now work in a grocery store and that certainly hasn't helped any either.
I have developed some terrible habits!
So on November 1st I decided to make a change in these habits - I am going back to basics. I am starting each day with a green smoothie - a good start in the morning can only lead to good places & I am avoiding all snacks between meals. If I get very hungry in between - I am sticking with fruit.
You will be seeing some posts about green smoothies coming up, how to make them delicious and what to avoid. Go green!

About Me
- Verdant Vegan
- For years, I wanted to become a vegetarian to save the lives of animals, the environment & in general - to do my piece to help save our little world. And for years, I postponed this change - thinking I would starve. Folks, I am a very picky eater. In November 2009, I took the plunge, made the change & realized that it wasn't hard at all. After reading more about vegetarianism, I learned that most dairy cows and laying hens suffer tremendously & they too have a huge negative environmental impact. March 1st 2009 I began my new vegan lifestyle. While trying to balance all that life entails I am trying to continually learn more about veganism, proper nutrition, and living a healthy lifestyle. Also new to blogging, I will be trying to learn more about how to make my blog better as I document my transition into veganism.
