My Journey to a Plant-Based Diet,
and the Benefits I’ve Experienced

Author: @rainbowrachel
Curator: @riverflows - I've read a lot of posts about becoming vegetarian or vegan and this is one of the best I've read on Steemit. Rachel writes with a great deal of enthusiasm about her journey to eat a more plant based diet whilst acknowledging that cheese is still a bit of a weakness for her. She talks about how enamored she was with all the fabulous fresh fruits in her new home and Thailand, and how she was kind to herself as she dealt with meat cravings whilst knowing she felt a lot better without it.

She refers to Sadghuru's advice that we don't eat foods with strong 'identities' as they transform into our own cells and thus 'what we eat, becomes us'. Rachel comes from a really compassionate place as well as admitting one of her favourite things to do is make vegan junk food! I really love how she wrote from a really non-judgemental place, which can be rare in a world where people can 'push' lifestyle choices on you. Check it out - a gorgeous read.

Hard Forks: How to Feel Good During Times of Drastic Change

Curator: @kenistyles - Of course this post is special to me, yet I feel it can touch many others too. Jamie speaks about the fears and doubts common to many of us when we are faced with life's challenges. She shares some very real and honest insights about how she deals with the uncertainty of change and finds balance as the mystery unfolds. Rather than a daunting read, this one left me feeling optimistic, excited and intrigued for what will happen next!
