One Life!

Hi, I’m Gaynor! Life has changed dramatically since switching from eating meat and dairy to a vegan lifestyle. And it’s definitely for the better 🙂

When I started this journey the best help I found was through other people’s blogs, YouTube channels, and the support of family and friends. Which led me here… writing my own blog to share my experiences.

In such a short space of time, I’ve learnt so much about food, nutrition, health, animal agriculture and the environment – the list is endless. Coupling that with my knowledge and experience of health and fitness I now feel fitter, healthier, happier.

I never imagined that I could actually make a difference… but I can! Each and every one of us can help in so many ways.

Why Vegan?

There are many reasons people decide to switch to veganism, for me, the three drivers are compassion to animals, health and the environment.

Mixing it Up!

Not only do we get the satisfaction of knowing we can make a difference, food is now exciting, colourful and combines the most delicious flavours.

It’s so much fun mixing foods with other foods that technically aren’t supposed to be together – did you know you can make brownies out of black beans? And cheese from nuts?! Yes, cheese out of nuts 🙂 Who knew that the juice from a can of chickpeas is called Aquafaba – whip this up and it does exactly what an egg white does, so fab for meringues! The underlying bonus is that no animals are being harmed, how amazing is that? I’m totally addicted to the buzz, it’s like being a mad scientist in the kitchen!

As I trawled the internet, watched tonnes of documentaries, read articles and followed other likeminded people – my blinkers were removed and my eyes are now wide open to the pain and suffering inflicted on animals, the health benefits of not eating animals products, both instantly and long-term, also the impact that animal agriculture is having on our planet.

Impact of Veganism

Did you know that when just ONE person, like YOU, transitions to a vegan lifestyle, the impact it will have on the world we live in is phenomenal!

Sharing is Caring

Life changing experiences can feel overwhelming and sometimes it seems easier to just plod on and not make changes – this is why I want to help by sharing my experiences to inspire others, just like me, to go for it!

We owe it to the animals, our bodies and to the planet to live life in harmony.

Can vegans really make a difference in the world? You bet we can.
