The Blog

These first few posts will be a little rushed because there's a lot to cover to get you up to speed.

I will start will some answers to questions you may have.

What is Freshly Vegan?

This is a blog created to track my transition into a vegan lifestyle.

Why did you create a blog?

Honestly, this is for a school project. I've never been a blogger and I've never had a blog, so this will be new to us all.

Who are you?

I am Jeffrey Barnett. I am a 23 year old student at University of North Texas. I will be posting my stats in the next post to begin tracking my weight loss or gain over the next 2 months.

Why did you decide to become vegan?

Long story short, I read a graphic article that hurt me deeply. I will elaborate on this topic more in future posts as well.

What did you eat before?

Before switching to a vegan lifestyle I ate eggs and meat 1 - 3 times a day. I am very healthy and active, I love all kinds of vegetables and tofu. I pride myself in always wanting to try new things. This past year I switched to rice milk because dairy was not working for me very well. I love the taste of meat and eggs.

Do you plan to stay vegan after the project is over?

This is the big question. I will have to see how this goes. On day 1 of my new lifestyle I was extremely excited, but as day 5 rolls around it has become more and more work.

What type of information will you be posting on this blog?

EVERYTHING! I am going to track my weight, mood, research, food reviews, recipes, issues with budgeting, and anything else relevant.

What are you wearing?

My Snuggie. It's cold in here and I need my hands free to type.

I think that's it for now. More posts are coming soon to catch everyone up.

Thank you for all of your support. There will be a lot of ups and downs.
