Almost 30% Of Veganuary 2023 Participants Are Still Eating A Plant-Based Diet

A recent survey found that 28 percent of participants who were not previously vegan during Veganuary 2023 are still maintaining a plant-based diet six months later, with eight in 10 participants significantly reducing their animal product consumption. The main reasons for staying vegan included learning more about veganism, finding it easier than expected, and experiencing health benefits such as increased energy and improved mood.

Additionally, participating in Veganuary helped individuals feel more creative in the kitchen, make adventurous food choices, and improve their overall well-being. Despite some challenges, such as difficulty eating out or missing non-vegan foods, many former participants expressed a willingness to try veganism again in the future. Overall, the results show that Veganuary is helping people make lasting diet changes that benefit their health, the planet, and animals.
