Yeah exactly, it's just the pain before the gain, bro! Trust me, it's worth it.
On that note--CW: Gross digestion stuff

I've been vegan for five years now, and pretty quickly became whole foods plant based cuz I wanted to lose some weight (and it worked!). But an unintended (positive) side effect of going vegan is that the awful stomach aches and subsequent diarrhea I used to get a handful of times each year went away completely (I was vegetarian before this, so it had to be from cutting out the dairy).
I also used to absolutely hate taking shits because my stool was usually hard as rocks and the act of shitting often made my ass bleed. As soon as I went vegan, that problem disappeared completely. I'm sure it was probably less of a vegan thing and more of a "I'm eating way more fiber now" thing, but still--eat more plants, folks (especially :bean: ), they're good for you. 93% of American adults don't get enough fiber.
I love that they are all so accepting of the diarrhea.
Like obviously you will have several weeks of violent, violent liquid shits but after that it's smooth sailing until the heart attacks
