Hey there! Welcome to GirlAroundTheFood.
My name is mihaela and i'm that girl that's always around the food!
​
In march 2019, i decided to go vegetarian and stop eating meat and right away, in a matter of weeks, I started to feel so much better and felt more energy. i was enjoying my life the way it was, eating dairy until i realized the truth about dairy farming around the globe. I learned that eating dairy is more cruel than consuming meat, so in the end of 2019, i decided that i want to eat plant-based. I love animals with all of my heart(i think i'd rather choose my dog over any other human being), so it was a no brainer for me to go veg, because i simply don't want to be a part of the cruel world that is animal agriculture.
​
while being plant-based, every day i'm learning something new and realizing how simple this lifestyle is! The options are endless, starting fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, legumes, beans and for those that want to transition, but find it hard to cut off dairy and meat completely, there are even animal product alternatives, which are vegan and have a very similar taste!
​
The most important advice i'd give to someone who wants to go plant-based is to know why you are doing this and know the reason you want to live this way! Knowing that every day, by being vegan, you're saving thousands of animals, co2 and water, you'll feel so fulfilled, happy and you'll feel like your life has a bigger purpose!
​
Also, don't go into this with a negative mindset! Just focus on the gains and the endless options this lifestyle will provide to you! You'll feel more energized, you'll be much healthier and you'll nourish your body with every single bite of the delicious foods you'll be eating! No, it's not too expensive and no, you'll not be lacking protein or calcium- those are just myths!
​
I hope that i have sparked your imagination a bit and maybe inspired to look into this lifestyle! My blog is all about that plant-based power and my goal is to visually present to you all how delicious, vibrant and simple this lifestyle is!
enjoy!
