Ever wondered how some people manage to stay fit and still indulge in mouth-watering holiday feasts? As your hosts, we promise to guide you through the complexities of maintaining a fitness-focused vegan lifestyle, especially during the festive season. We unravel the mystery of protein sourcing for vegans and how we handle the often taxing conversations with those who don't quite understand our lifestyle choices. Our advice? Always lead by example and refrain from engaging in arguments.
