This ain't no diet....

OK, sorry to have been MIA for so long. I have made a lifestyle change that I am very pleased with: I am now a vegan. Before you start, no I don't throw red paint on fur wearers and no this isn't just an animal rights thing. I did this for my own health. I have learned a lot lately about what meat and dairy does to your body. It is actually quite disgusting! I don't want animal fats, excess proteins or mineral, or any other gross thing in my body. I have been vegan for one week now and I feel great! I'm not bloated, I have dropped 6 pounds without even trying, I am eating delicious healthy food, my acid reflux is gone, I am sleeping better....the benefits are truly amazing! Am I trying to convert the world? No. (well, maybe my hubby. the rest of you can do what you like.) I just feel like my eyes have been opened for the first time ever. We consume meat and dairy because we are taught to from birth. It is all we know. It never occurred to any of us that it may not be the right thing to do. Do yourself a favor: watch two documentaries entitled "Food, Inc." and "Change Your Food, Change Your Life" and see what I am talking about! Anyway, I am not on a diet. I am eating what any human should. I do not need, nor do I want, meat or dairy or any other animal product. I feel great! I look great! This is awesome!
