As a "health" and wellness coach I 've gotten questions and comments about why I eat the way I do. Some would look at my diet and say it 's "unhealthy" others would disagree. Health is a subjective topic. Yes, there are articles upon articles of scientifically researched and backed evidence proving this way or that way of eating is the "right" way. Ultimately I believe you should eat whatever way is right for you! Do you feel amazing every single day? Then keep doing what you 're doing I would say. If you aren 't experiencing bloating, medical problems, or lack of energy why would you fix what 's not broken?

My boyfriend and I broke up after 4 and a half years of being together. I was devastated to say the least. I decide to starve myself hoping to slowly fade away into the abyss. But after one day a little voice peeped up in my head and said "You are worthy. You are here to create something much bigger than yourself. Stay." It brought me to tears. I was well educated in many types of religion and spirituality through my years of experience going through a science based family life, yoga teacher training, public school, and a private Christian University but through all of these experiences I never knew who this "God" character was. Finally I had found my understanding of the universe. Quickly after this I attracted into my life a like minded individual and we started dating. After a bit of discussion he decided he wanted to become a vegan to live congruently with his vegan based food company. I was a bit hesitant, I didn 't want to restrict myself anymore, I had done that enough in my life and I enjoyed the pleasure of eating what I ate. Though I said I would temporarily try it to see how I felt and if I didn 't feel great psychologically and physically I wouldn 't continue. It 's been a little over five months now and I still don 't see this way of eating as a restriction. When people think of vegans they think all they eat are vegetables and fruits. Some yes, but not all such as myself. After recently dealing with some bloating, gas, and digestion problems I listened to my intuition about why I was suffering with this. I just kept hearing "smoothies and avocados." I wanted to ignore it because everything online seemed to say it would be due to canned beans or not enough leafy greens. I was a bit conflicted because to eat less fruits and vegetables would be "unhealthy"
