"The switch to plant-based diet and avoiding animal protein altogether has made me feel so much lighter and more active than ever. Since the digestion is much faster, we wake up fresh and without lethargy. It feels like your body has more oxygen!" says Riteish describing the tangible changes Genelia & him have felt with the turn. While on the other hand, Genelia goes to eliminate the myths that people hold around the foods allowed in vegan diets. "Many Indian dishes are actually vegan and we don't even realize it. Like pav bhaji, chole bhature, misal pav, vada pav all of these can be served to a vegan if you only avoid the ghee or curds. Many people are actually afraid of the vegan culture thinking that the only choices left would be maida and sugar but thats really not the case. My children follow plant based diet too and do so wonderfully even in school. So I guess if children can then it's not really that difficult."
