“You then have to reevaluate every other bullshit lie you've told yourself and consider it to be completely false. And then every day is an act of exploration of what you can do. I love the saying that...self-love and loving your body is mostly loving what your body can do for you.” - Adam Sud

Welcome to The Fit Vegan Podcast, I’m your host, Maxime Sigouin! Today, I am speaking with Adam Sud as he shares his story of living an abnormal lifestyle because of an unhealthy diet and drug addiction. By discovering an effective method in transforming his lifestyle, he begins his journey towards recovery. This truly shows that more than the change of habits, it also takes a refashion of one’s mindset to truly implement a holistically healthy lifestyle.

Key Quotes

“I think for a lot of people, it's easiest when they see something like that. What they try to do is they try to fix it [lifestyle] and unfortunately, fixing it looks a lot like criticism.” - Adam Sud

“When you're living under the belief that...every single day is the worst it's ever been, and also living with the certainty that tomorrow will be worse, eventually, tomorrow is not something you want to be a part of.” - Adam Sud

“The things that we choose to believe about ourselves have consequences on us and the people that we care about.” - Adam Sud

“You're protecting those loving things in your life. They mean the world to you, no one cares about their obesity. Nobody cares about their diabetes, or high cholesterol, what they care about is that it can take something incredibly meaningful from them.” - Adam Sud

“Addiction is about not wanting to be present in your life. Because your life has become too painful a place to be.” - Adam Sud
