Hi there! My name is Alex Romney, also known as Lovely Vegan, & I’m from Salt Lake City, Utah.

I’ve been vegan about 7-8 years. I slowly starting transitioning well over a decade ago. I eliminated meat & dairy from my diet & was only occasionally consuming eggs & fish. I watched ‘Cowspiracy’ & it was a game-changer for me. After watching, I immediately emailed the documentary to everyone I knew. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner — a common sentiment.💯

Could you share any intriguing stories or experiences from the time when you transitioned to a vegan lifestyle?

Not specifically. After making the swap, I was all in & committed. It wasn’t hard at all… it became the normal way of living & I felt really good. I was traveling a lot & finding vegan restaurants was a very exciting experience for me… there are endless options & they’re all SO GOOD!😊❤️

What challenges do you face when trying to find vegan food or dining out with friends?

Be brave. Be resilient.

Hm, not a lot that I can think of. I don’t do well with soy/tofu & this is a staple for a lot of vegans. It’s not really a challenge because there are so many other choices. I’m also gluten-free, so it makes my decisions even more specific, but again, it’s no trouble because there’s a lot to choose from… &, once I find what I love, I’m all in.😆❤️ I am pretty routine-based with eating habits.

With family or friends, it’s no challenge at all. I’m pretty sure everyone who knows me knows I’m vegan. It’s invisibly tattooed on my forehead because I’m very open about it.😂🥰

How would you encourage someone who isn’t vegan/vegetarian to give meatless food a try?

I tell them that they’re going to love it. I suggest options… heck, sometimes I’ll even send bags of groceries to friends/family to sample and show them it’s very delicious + ALL the other benefits. There isn’t anything lost… only gained. It’s positive & impactful from the inside-out. Physical, mental, emotional, & SPIRITUAL. 🙏🏼🌞

Here’s the funny & truthful thing I think a lot of vegans discover: you can simply mix a lot of different veggies, grains, legumes, seasonings, etc…. & it just WORKS. It tastes amazing & you feel so good! You feel as though your body is saying “THANK YOU…”😌

You can also roll with all the premade vegan items… meats, burgers, hotdogs… & those are super tasty! It’s all just so delicious.❤️

What are some common misconceptions about vegans? How do you go about explaining or educating others to dispel these misconceptions?

I think the word veganism is a misconception in itself, lol. We should really just call is COMPASSION.❤️

I focus mostly on inspiring others by setting an example — I’m 35 year’s old & the healthiest I’ve ever been: mind, body, & soul.💫

Veganism aka “compassion” is at the root of this. What we consume & engage ourselves with energetically (beyond food), is the energy we radiate, become, & send out into the collective.🤝✨

What advice would you give to someone who is just starting their journey to go meatless?

Be true. Be you.

The best advice I can think of is how much their life is going to transition from the inside-out. When one chooses to embrace the world with compassion as their leading value, everything changes.
