    Study Notes

    Personal Veganism Study

    • Motivation: Dating a teacher who advocated for animal rights sparked a decision to adopt a vegan lifestyle.
    • Self-Experimentation: A personal study was conducted to assess the effects of a vegan diet on the author's health and well-being.
    • Methodology: A controlled experiment was performed over a six-month period. The author alternated between strict vegan and non-vegan diets, meticulously tracking food consumption, enjoyment, weight, and mental health indicators (depression and anxiety) each month.
    • Dietary Changes: Strict vegan diets were observed for two periods. During the non-vegan periods, the author consumed regular milk, cheese, meat, and fish, comparing these choices with the earlier vegan consumption.
    • Results: Weight remained lower during vegan periods. Food enjoyment was comparable regardless of diet. No significant negative impact on mental health was observed.
    • Conclusion: Benefits of veganism (to health, animals and the environment) were valued above the inconveniences. The author remained committed to the vegan lifestyle.
