Why I'm inclined to try a plant-based diet

1. Athletic performance - climbing

2. Health - Wanted to see if it could lower my cholesterol level.

3. Wanted to see if it could affect my poor hair/scalp health.


Watched Game Changer, Fork Over Knives & What The Health.
So all these 3 movies basically preached that meat, eggs and every other animal based food are linked to cause heart disease and cancer and plant-based food could even reverse heart disease.

I was in the process of improving my climbing at the time Game Changer was released and my friend ask me to watch it. As the movie also vow on improved athletic strength and performance, I instantly sold with the idea.

I already 'trying' to eat better at the time, (or at least I thought I did), I rarely touch instant noodles, KFC, McDonalds or Burger King. I did, once in a while but not as frequent as I was in my early 20s. I took multivitamins everyday, fish oil, cut sugar and salt where I can and add more veggies in my diet. But I still indulge my own creamy carbonara pasta every one or two weeks.

So I will try my best and see in a month or two if there's any improvement that I can see, maybe do a blood test again. See if it does lower my cholesterol level.
Will keep updating soon. Wish me luck!

Also  I did have a slightly higher than normal cholesterol count when I last did a health checkup in August.

I don't know how actually at the time cos I thought I don't eat that much meat, or fried stuff to begin with. Deep down I suspected its because of all the eggs I had. I LOVE my sunny side up egg. I have it EVERYDAY almost 3 times a day. Almost whenever I eat. If its not sunny side up, it will definitely be the ingredient in every dish I like, Nasi Goreng, Kueytiow goreng all have eggs, and my beloved pasta carbonara recipe involves 3 yolk mixed with parmesan chesee. So that should be it.
