Plant-based diets have been all the rage for several years now. You've probably read all about why eating real, whole foods and a diet consisting mostly of fruits and veggies is good for you.

For that reason and because I know you're smart, I won't recount all the benefits here. You can read more here, here, and here (and countless other articles on the interwebs) if you really want.

It's one thing to read studies that use overly complicated concepts, but when you hear the information from a real person (that would be me) in real words, it's easier to understand. So the focus of today's post is some of the benefits I have personally experienced.
