Naomi Wren didn’t switch to a vegan diet to lose weight—at first. She did it for the animals, the planet, and her health.
But after months of feeling bloated and tired, she began to question if she was doing it right.
“I was eating vegan, but not necessarily well,” she says. “I relied on processed foods and thought if it was plant-based, it had to be healthy.” Lean1 Chocolate 5 Pound (37 Servings), Fat Burning Meal Replacement
When a friend mentioned the idea of a short-term, plant-based reset to support digestion and reduce bloating, Naomi decided to try her own five-day version.
Her goal wasn’t weight loss, but rather to feel lighter, flatter, and more balanced.
She started by simplifying her meals: fewer ingredients, more whole foods. Breakfast was warm oats with chia and berries.
Lunches focused on cooked vegetables and easy-to-digest legumes like lentils. Dinners included quinoa bowls with steamed greens and a drizzle of tahini or avocado.
“I gave my gut a break from anything fried or heavy,” Naomi explains. She also cut out carbonated drinks, chewed slowly, and drank water between meals, not during.
By day three, her bloating had noticeably decreased. By day five, her tummy felt flat, her skin looked clearer, and her energy returned.
The best part? No calorie counting, no restriction—just kindness to her body through food. “It wasn’t about shrinking,” she says. “It was about softening the noise inside my body.”
