Me in my old clothes |
Its been 15 months today since I decided to go Vegan. Here's me today wearing my old pants and my old shirt. They used to be tight! I still can't believe how easy this is. I'm not eating less, but eating healthy foods instead. Its all about choices. Even though I'm eating at restaurants, weddings and other people's homes, I'm the one responsible for picking and choosing what I eat. There are always choices. The question is are you willing to make choices that make you thinner, healthier and feel better or do you choose to stay with your old habits, hoping for an different outcome? This is not a magic powder. There is no counting points, no special soup, no exotic rare plants, no pills, no surgery and no strenuous exercise program. I did have to buy a lot of new clothes and find an outlet for the extra energy. Not exactly a down side.
Check out the Plant based nutrition support group for lots of good information, recipes, articles and good science.
The basic idea is that if it ever had a face or came from an animal, don't eat it. To lose weight faster and protect your arteries, avoid any kind of oil whenever possible.
The choice is yours!
