Why I built this
years
plant based, and I still love food.
Sati, founder of Plant Me
People ask me what I eat. This is my answer.
Growing up
Raised on the standard American diet. Meat, dairy, eggs and a lot of processed food. I had bad allergies, stomach pain, and I was skinny fat most of my life.
Getting active
Rec sports in high school, the gym in college. It helped, but my diet didn't change, and it felt like it cancelled out the work.
Going all in
At 35 I cut out meat, dairy, eggs and animal products. Within a week I leaned out. Then I got too lean.
Learning to eat enough
I had to eat more calories and find good protein. Once I learned the amounts, everything clicked.
Ten years later
My allergies and stomach issues cleared up, my cholesterol came down, and my last colonoscopy came back clean.
I still have an Impossible Burger or a vegan cheat meal now and then. Most days I eat whole foods. Plant Me is how I'd help a friend start.
This is my experience. Yours will be your own, and your doctor should be part of it.
