Going vegan solely for weight loss

LiSTNR
About this episode

In Steph & Laura's catch up today, they address another trend that some of us have followed for the wrong reasons - going vegan solely for weight loss. There is absolutely nothing wrong with going vegan for ethical reasons, however there are dangers involved in simply doing it for aesthetic purposes, and things to educate yourself with before just going off meat and dairy cold turkey. Kic dietitian Liv Morrison explains why in today's episode.

Also in this ep, we find out what hilarious (and some dangerous!!) pranks you guys have pulled on your partners to help give prankster Laura some more inspo!

Kic UPDATE:
