Feeling "cleaner" being veg

heartaflame · #1 Feb 28, '12, 7:03 am

I think about it often, kind of in amazement that I feel cleaner being a vegan. Not in an arrogant, cocky way, but I have such a sense of peace that no animals had to suffer or die because of my food choices. I also feel like my "insides" are cleaner too. It's a happy feeling.

Please remember me in prayer as I attempt to do a "whole foods" way of eating during Lent. I have a food addiction to processed foods and I need prayer to overcome it. Thank you so much!

I could not agree more - it is a very peaceful feeling!
Be assured of our prayers!

I pray all went well during Lent - and for afterwards, if you choose to continue.

Ohhh yesss

I feel so good knowing that I don't have any animals inside me; You really do feel clean and healthier. And I love the thought that just because I don't eat animals I have a WAY less chance of developing heart disease

Yes, feeling good... in sync with God and His creation... for me, my mode of operation... Peace!

I absolutely know what you mean! I definitely feel a certain 'heaviness' if I eat meat. Not in that self-righteous way, but meat actually makes me feel very sluggish and slow.

That plus the feeling of peace it gives me -- it's a win-win.

There is an internal feeling or sense of wholeness I experience. feeling clean while knowing I have made choices that honor God by caring for what he has made.

Wow this original post is from 1 year ago. Just wanted to comment that I too feel "cleaner" since eating a vegan diet. How did your whole foods go for Lent last year? Are you doing it for Lent again this year?

Yes, I am. I am focusing upon simplicity - I can eat a lot of ritzy yet healthy vegan foods. My focus is to be simple yet healthy this Lent. Low fat, lots of veggies, simple foods. It is good to hear from you!

That's great. Simple is good.

A very dear friend of mine recently made the switch to vegan and they used this EXACT expression 'feeling cleaner' ---- I think we all know and understand what this means --- I've invited her to join us here ... so if you are here already my friend -- SAY HELLO!
