Amazing transformation! Welcome aboard!!

woohoo! thanks for taking the time to read this and the warm welcome, looking forward to more !

Ah I recognize that song Spotify. It was definitely in my "Discover Weekly" a while back. Very nice!

Congratulations on your vegan results. I've been a vegetarian all my life, and I always love finding good vegan alternative to diary products. Keep up the good work!

haha no way how cool! Thanks so much. Ahh there are so many great companies out there doing justice to the lifestyle. Thanks for reading :)

super. Your post inspired me to write my story. I've been a vegetarian for 10 years. Thank you

beautiful my friend, thats what im here for! love to read your story.

awesome transformation and amazing to hear the positive changes veganism has made on your life in a relatively short period of time. Forks over Knives was also the one that made me go vegan, and I've been basking in the rewards of my new diet ever since! :)

amazing really

Thank you for the nice words :)

What am amazing transformation! I'm also jumping in here from instagram after starting to get into cryptocurrencies. Your pics are stunning, cheers! check me out on insta @jasoneats

Like old man Said.... Love your life so you can live...

Keep up your nice works

love that, well said!!

Great post bro.....I would also like to say that humans also need not to kill animals because for his nutrition mother nature has gifted him lot good things........:)

100%! We help the animals and planet by going plant based. Plants give us all the nutrition we need! I dont think people understand that animals get their protein from eating plants!

Yups......:)🌟

I too have lost a lot of weight. Nice to see others nailing those carbs!

heck yeah carb up!! congrats :)

hi there, Thanks a lot !

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Respect. A long way and a lot of hard work. Thank you for sharing with us. Happy new year.

so true! Thank you so much for the words ! Have a great day

Yes!!! Wait to bust the myth that you can't get vegan gains. So many dudes will flat out lie and tell you vegan protein doesn't even compare to animal protein but plant protein is actually more nutrient packed and absorbable! Just look at the stats on hemp. Thanks for representing, props, and word to your mother.

hell yeah we are here to debunk the b.s! there are huge guys out there fully vegan with some serious muscle. it is fully possible with plant based foods. i prefer to keep it lean but hey, its all good either way! Carb up my friend!

long words, hopefully get more muscles.

You're very welcome sir. Look forward to more of your content.

Welcome to steemit! I'm new myself and looking for connections with people who share similar interests (aren't we all?). Happy to have found your blog as I'm interested in wellness and nutrition. I'm following you here and plan to join instagram soon and follow you there, too. Specifically, I'm interested in recipes and ideas for how to get sufficient protein for an active lifestyle without eating meat. Although I'm not vegan, and don't want to lose weight, I can learn from your experiences :) Say hello to a fellow newbie on steemit if you'd like. Here's my #introduceyourself post. Happy New Year!
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@mininthecity/introduceyourself

nice to meet you here friend! i will be sure to keep sharing what i've learned. message me over on instagram and i can tag some accounts for you to follow to help you on your journey !

Great! I'll start participating on instagram asap.

Nice one mate! Keep making those vegan gains!

So cool you grew such a large Instagram so quickly too!

nice to meet you mate! another vegan for the win. much respect to the art of martial arts.

Right on amigo! There seems be a good bunch of vegans on here already, I'm glad I joined already!

Have a great productive day my friend!

right back at ya !

So basically your hair turned white and you grew more hair on your chest, right? I guess IΒ΄ve to try this vegan stuff! ;))

It's worth it just for that alone! :)

hello bjonr :)

i found your post very inspiring! actually we've got some things in commun

i am also a musician wanting to stay far from energy-and-inspiration-sucking producers
just prefering to play in the streets for everyone
and for the first time i put on video online here on steemit of an original song, youmight like it

and i am a vegetarian for years i had a long vegan period that stopped since my pregnancy but reading you and going through your amazing instagram makes me want to start again ! you reach your goals man!

thank you so much for responding! its a pleasure to meet you. i will give it a listen! also i say 100% when you're ready to switch back to a plant based lifestyle. I've actually seen lots of information about raising children plant based as well but i recommend always doing the research our self to make sure!

Looking to reading more from you

Wow! I dally with Veganism on and off. And I've slowly introduced it to the family, I just haven't gone all the way commitment. But this def gives me inspo!!! Awesome post

its a slow transition at whichever pace works best for us. one meal at a time, one day at a time, or one bite at a time. so happy to be able to inspire in any way possible!

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

very good transformation

Thank you for sharing! @therusticvegan - Super inspirational story. Forks Over Knives opened up my eyes too. The rest of the world will soon wake up to the facts. The information is all around us :)

cheers for forks over knives! its such a life changer i am so grateful for that documentary! Everything we need is at our fingertips! im a new crypto enthusiast as well, i study every night online learning all that i can, i am intrigued!

You certainly have a lot to offer the Steemit community. We have several things in common...food, photography, Steemit and crypto. Welcome.

wow thank you so much for that! i really hope to inspire and spread the message here from my experiences. Thanks for taking the time to reply to me! enjoy your day :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Awesome journey and physique, thanks for sharing! While I haven't gone vegan, I have started cutting back on meat dramatically. I just don't trust it (also after watching several food documentaries [not to mention meat takes too long to digest]). All the best to you and welcome!

Thank you for the nice words! Plant way is the best way. We are not designed to digest and break down animal proteins. If you have never watched forks over knives or what the health, please take the time to! If you already have, you're halfway there then! enjoy your evening

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

This is one I haven't seen. I'll check it out.

Welcome to Steemit! I watched a great documentary that promoted a vegan lifestyle too. It's called What The Health, it's going around a lot now.

It's hard for me to completely cut out meat but I went from eating no vegetables to eating them once every meal, and eating much less meat. I really respect your commitment!

Great documentary! It has awaken so many people. It's not an overnight transformation for most people. We must approach it in whichever way feels right for us. Then one day we dont even look at it as a commitment, it becomes your lifestyle! Its like quitting drinking and then 10 years down the road you say, that is not a part of my lifestyle anymore, it doesnt even cross your mind! Be well !

Bodybuilding is sticking to it, and I've never made up my mind. I'm ashamed.

There is never a window that closes when it comes to fitness. We can turn anything around in the snap of a finger. I didnt even lift weights for this transformation! I did body weight calisthenics with no gym membership. All we need is our body and some creativity and determination.

Never knew going Vegan woud be so good for ones body but what about cost? im pretty sure alot of vegan based things cost more than something unhealthy as a pork chop(red meat) or a bag of lays potato chips . Coming from a 22 year old with sub-par to average eating habits how exactly could i be more mindful about being vegan and the lifestyle that it comes with?

Not to confuse you or anybody else but there is vegan which includes expensive processed treats which i love! and then there is whole foods plant based, which IS vegan but its not processed treats. Its basically 6 things, fruit, veggie/greens, grains, nuts&seeds, legumes. This may sound boring to you but check out my instagram, link is in my profile. The entire point of my account is to show people who easy and creative it can be by using plants. If you know what youre doing its the best, cheapest way to live. Think longterm, do we want to spend money on healthcare as we age, or prevention? Id say preventing is a hell of a better way to go about it!

i agree, and no i dont think its boring, its interesting. Just like when i eat alot of meat and i feel super bloated and or gassy. Its a process that would sound boring if i explained it and found out what it was that didnt agree with my stomach. But its an interesting event when it does happen. nobody likes their stomach in knots especially if your a person taking meds everyday.

yup! i have never felt like crap after i eat a meal any longer. our body cant break down animal proteins, were not designed to ingest that. if youve never watched what the health give it a look!

Seen it when i was a bit younger in high school but i will definitely give it a second watch

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Yes! I'm a big believer in the power of manifestation and visualisation and how it can really help bring into fruition whatever we desire. I'm really inspired by how you turned a relatively unfavourable situation into fuel to motivate you further and what a pay off! Your creativity with food and photography is a delight to observe and educating people on the benefits of a plant based diet is such a valuable contribution to community. Thanks for sharing @therusticvegan!

love your response thank you dear! I feel my life really started to change as i went plant based vegan. not only the way i looked but the way i felt, viewed the world, myself and others. Its an awakening in my opinion and im here to show others we can all do this. Its the easiest thing, just change what we put in our mouths! its like like im telling you to go and climb mount everest with no shoes on. It's literally change whats on our plate, simple! I take life one day at a time, ive learned to live present, forget everything else.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

@therusticvegan A relatively simple concept that shows what we put into our bodies - essentially our fuel and what we need to survive, would have such a huge impact on our overall health, not just physically, but mentally and spiritually. Unfortunately, most people have been poorly educated about nutrition and succumb to habits that they have created over years due to lack of education or simple laziness. That's why it's so inspiring to see you persevere through something that a lot of people would generally dismiss to show that it's incredibly simply to change your habits and ways, especially when they prompt such an increase in your overall holistic health. I really look forward to seeing what you share! 🌻

100% true. its by design this way and im fortunate enough to be awake. too many are fast asleep and ill do all i can to toss around the red pill! this platform will be me an opportunity to do so and im glad i found it !

Nice intro post bro, vegan community is growing here on Steemit, I love it. Keep at it my dude, will be sure to follow!! :D

Bravo! Welcome to the club. I've recently joined myself and think it's awesome. A lot of what you wrote about rings a bell. I, myself, went vegan a bit back (similar but not exact circumstances). I have always loved to cook, and also a DJ, but from Alabama, lol. Played Sax a lot when I was younger, and need to pick that back up and start producing music like I keep telling myself...smh. Anyways, like your stuff, I'll follow for more content and some like minded banter. I too enjoy taking pictures, but just haven't gotten serious in that regard. More hobby like enjoyment. Think I would love producing videos, so I really need to get some production gear and start playing around... Welcome again, look forward to some recipe inspiration.

such similarities thats cool!! i played the drums when i was little so i can relate even further. if you want photo inspo follow peter mckinnon on youtube, he blew up so quick ! also follow his buddy travelfeels as well. cheers !

Congratulations on your belief. because it is a difficult period that requires patience. I am vegetarian. people are not very gifted, but hard to continue without giving up. you are an example to many people ..

life is a game of patience in my opinion! Thank you for the nice words. we must always believe !

Hey@therusticvegan! I loved your story, I believe all our knocks points us in the direction of our Destiny. I tried to become vegan in July 2017 but an injury to my ankle left me unable to monitor what I ate and yes, I went back to eating meat. I also like the look of your dishes, they look delicious! I'm going to follow you and will look forward to your recipes in future posts. Upvoted. Peace.

thanks for the welcome! sorry to hear about that but i am sure you can and will get back on the horse. we can all do it, we just gotta believe in it. take care !

ideal inspiration
nothing and no one can stop you
that's what you shown
keep it up

So awesome to see such an inspiring vegan success story! Keep up the great work πŸŒ±πŸ’š

nice to meet another fellow vegan here! nice to meet you!

Go Team Vegan!! Love it!

woohoo! yes !!

We were not complaining about looking at you twice ;) I mean wow, so healthy & good looking. I am sure many of us here use visualization. You are truly a gifted writer. We are lucky to have you here! Welcome, @therusticvegan x

haha aw thank you! such a sweet comment. looking forward to posting more. thank you again !

such an inspiring story @therusticvegan!
I am new too here and teach yoga. I am not vegan because my partner is a massive foodie and it's basically impossible to eat that way with him, but I admire you a lot and look forward to learn more about your photography stories here.

hey anything is possible! you never know right? thanks for the welcome and nice words. namaste !!

What a really nice job you have been doing, man. You just got a new fan right here. I'm really impressed with the changein your eating habbits and, even when I won't become vegan, I feel inspired for all you have done.

My best wishes to you and welcome to Steemit!

thanks so much for the welcome! its a lifestyle and its now a part of me. two years down and many many more to come! much love !

@therusticvegan
Wow, that is amazing and so inspirational, I have been contemplating for a while now about also going meatless.

I have started out slowly and found that I feel a million times better and feel so much lighter and more energetic, but I must admit I still on the occasion get a craving for meat especially steak, I really want to change that and start out on vegetarian, you have truly been an inspiration

thank you, and stay blessed.

thank you my friend. we must transition at our own pace, baby steps! i would recommend watching what the health if you have not yet! it will truly help and inspire change. all the best !

What a fabulous first post! Welcome to Steemit and good on you for representing vegans so well :D

A pleasure to meet you and thank you! hope to do us all justice here :)

You certainly are! I've been listening to your music and followed your instagram :) Thank goodness Spinnin' were such jerks and that you were proactive enough to start your own account. I think you're making a huge difference in how people perceive vegan food and vegan men πŸŒΏπŸ‘ŠπŸΌπŸ’ͺ🏽 Question.. how do you pronounce 'Bjonr'?

aw thanks soo much for that!! you know everything happens for a reason and im content with the way things played out. The name is similiar to the artist bjork. so it sounds exactly the same except the end is nr

Is it like the name BjΓΆrn but has the 'r' at the end? Sorry, I'm really interested in names and can get a bit intrusive πŸ˜… Also, congrats on getting on the trending page in your first post! Yew! πŸ‘ŠπŸΌ

close enough! haha thank you :) I did some homework about this site to understand how it works. basically just how i studied instagram and watched what people did or didnt do and thats how i grew my account quickly :)

Sounds like I have some homework to do then :)

That's really intriguing. I checked out some of your music too and I dig it. I am actually a vegetarian, and I was wondering what you would say are the main benefits of being a vegan versus being a vegetarian?
Peace,
Brandi

I would recommend watching what the health & forks over knives. there is a MASSIVE difference in vegetarian and vegan. Long term vegetarian can be just as bad for your health as a regular meat eater. I know that sounds crazy but please, watch what the health, and then forks over knives. It will all make sense!

and thank you also !

That's an absolutely amazing transformation! Staying healthy and losing weight to my ideal weight is my absolutely first goal in 2018 and hopefully, I will be able to achieve such a perfect result like yours too! Have fun on steemit and looking forward to see you around.

we are all fully capable of anything! thanks for reading and best of luck to you :)

Congrats man, as someone who has come back from working on mine sites in Africa I am changing my eating habits a lot. Technically you would call me vegetarian at this point even though 90% of what I eat is plant based, looking to make the 100% move in 2018.

Its great to see other people being inspired to change, and knowing you are not alone.

Great intro and followed.

wow thats incredible, never met somebody who does that. you will get 100% in no time! Thanks for the read my friend, take it easy !

WOW! I am a runner, and since I have had a vegetarian diet, my performance has improved markedly. Even so there are people who tell me "you must eat MEAT to have a better performance" xD

apparently they dont know who rich roll is. look him up! He is one step further and completely vegan and in his 50's. Thanks for stopping by !

one word, inspiring !!!, welcome to Steemit :)

Thank you for the warm welcome !

Great post. We're new to veganism (about 2 years now), hubby is 98% vegan, I'm about 80% (restaurant owner here). Nice to see your transformation, very inspiring!

Welcome to Steemit @therusticvegan! Your story is very inspiring. I exercise often. I have thought about cutting off meat from my diet but I never actually do it. Maybe looking at your future posts may inspire me to. Goodluck on this platform and happy new year!

Thanks for the welcome! Watch what the health and then decide your next move! it will change your life i promise.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I've seen it actually! Since then, I've definitely cut down on meat products and have been craving vegetarian options more. Just haven't found that desire to quit yet.

I feel like if my body craves something, I should give it that food. If I despise something, I won't crave it in the first place. This is why cheat meals are a thing haha.

I guess I haven't found that ultimate turning point yet..

okay cool! i understand! all i can say is i you could go into the future and see how your mind and body feel being on a plant based lifestyle, you would go overnight! unfortunately we cant do such a thing but we will figure it out in time in our own way

Here's a link to my story - https://steemit.com/foodphotography/@popsoz/my-journey-into-plant-based-eating - I'm going to check out your music and instagram - Maybe I should take a before picture just in case I too end up getting some muscles:) - Great journey!!!

that story is crazy bro. Ive just posted a song up if you want to listen. I agree, having worked with labels - the music industry, often, totally sucks.

Thanks man i appreciate it! i will check the tune out forsure !

You are such a good inspiration to all of us. WELCOME

Thank you very much my friend!

Wowza! Congratulations on your transformation!

Thank you so very much!

Thank you for sharing your journey thus far! I'm also a vegan and highly invested in fitness. I love your story on how you developed your passion with photography and cooking. That really is where I would like to go with my life as well. I compete in powerlifting and hope to compete in bodybuilding one day. I love spreading the word to people that you don't need animal protein to gain strength and muscle. Through going vegan, I've realized I have a love for cooking as well. Cooking is very therapeutic for me, and I love it when I create something of my own rather than following a recipe.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of your posts! :) Have an amazing day!

Thanks for the love! Killer story you have there i dig it. I find it amazing what transpires from just changing what we eat, but i must say i dont feel you can get the same results from anything else other than plant based foods. cooking is my time to forget about everything else, i relate to you there! Thanks again see you around here!

I agree! Plant based foods heals our bodies from all the damage meat, dairy, and processed foods have done. Out of curiosity, with fitness being a part of your life, do you ever focus on high protein meals? I’m always searching for recipes

Let food be thy medicine! Coming from a guy who ate chicken and brown rice daily smashing 1gram of protein per body weight and higher i was probably doing major damage to my kidneys. we do NOT need that much protein. I will get probably 100g per day and thats about it. I used to get in nearly 200g when i thought thats what we needed but its false. I know you will possibly not agree with me there but i know you already know we need protein to build muscle but as to the amount i feel is debatable. If you dont already follow jon venus, simnett nutrition, or nimai delgado, google them! All have youtube channels all fully plant based

Thank you for the references! But I’ve done a lot of research myself on protein intake. I definitely think it’s false to follow the broscience of 1g/lb of body weight. I’ve read some findings how 1g/kg is pretty sufficient. According to studies, the avg protein a person needs to maintain health who doesn’t exercise excessively is around 50g. Thanks for sharing though. I keep searching around to see what other vegan athletes go by

Welcome! I have no doubt you'll transition well to this community as you have going vegan.

thanks! i like that comment. im looking forward to this transition very much

Your post really spoke to me. Recently I've been deciding to slowly progress from a meat based diet to a more plant-based diet for health reasons - NutritionFacts.org really started making me question my choices regarding the food I was intaking. But to be honest, going completely meatless is pretty scary.

I know how to cook a little, as I learned this semester since I had to cook for myself, so hopefully I can learn a little more this semester so that I'm not eating broccoli every day!

dr greger is the truth! Follow this man for longevitiy. Watch what the health and forks over knives. Follow my instagram, the whole point of my instagram is to show people were not eating lettuce every single day. although i do that anyways along with all sorts of other goodness. Give my page a look youll see what im saying!. There is a treasure trove of accounts to also follow over there with recipes easy to follow !

That is amazing! Your story was truly inspiring. I’ve tried going vegan but could never find the willpower to maintain it.

However, did you notice it made your hair turn white??

thank you! Watch forks over knives it will change your life. haha yeah i stopped bleaching my hair white, its too much work and money just to look cool for two weeks and roots grow out.

Hey @therusticvegan

I've been vagan from one month. I know that's not too much but I hope I will be like you. Your post really inspired me.

Welcome on board and I am sure you are going to enjoy it.

vegan is different from vegetarian isn't it?

Yes 100%. A vegetarian diet can be just as bad as a meat eaters diet. Easiest way to explain Vegan is if it comes from an animal, we don't eat it!

Amazing. Hi, HNY and Welcome. :)))
I am also a vegan and I just can say, GO GO GO :)

Truly takes me toward contemplation of returning to vegan. It's tough breaking down the psychological programming that has developed in our diets for our entire lives! Power to the people who do it!

Keep steeming!

its extremely tough to break habit for people, especially if we have being doing something our entire lives! Thanks so much and i hope this helped you.
