For two weeks now, I've been on a plant-based diet. Going 95% vegan has been the easiest diet change I've ever attempted, because I don't really feel deprived.
I assume this post begs the obvious question: do I feel different? Not quite as much as I expected. I suppose I feel more nourished and more balanced (i.e., no sugar crashes), but I'm still waiting for the grand epiphany where I feel one with Mother Earth and all her creatures, feel more in tune with my own intuition, etc. I'll let you know when that happens.
Maybe I have to get rid of the eggs first.

I'd be interested to hear more details. Let me know. Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteYay, Heather! Way to be a hippie!
ReplyDeleteI've been heading that direction but am not there yet. Everyone keeps telling me it's going to make me anemic, but I already am, so I don't see the point in eating so much meat and dairy.
Get rid of eggs? Ha, you're too chicken!

But seriously, have you been reading The China Study? Watching Food, Inc? What has inspired your experiment. I'll be interested to find out.
Sarah: If you really want the gory details, email me and I'll fill you in. Also, you should know that I've been 110% bitter for the last month or so that my employer is not sending me up your direction in June as I'd hoped they might. I might just have to plan my own trip up...I've feeing a little NE deprived lately. :)
ReplyDeleteLisa: Embrace your inner granola. About being anemic - I've been juicing spinach, kale, and collard greens (plus some fruits). I'll pass you along the recipe if you want; maybe it will help your iron intake.
JennyB: Can't wait to see you!
