So last week after feeling really badly and thinking that perhaps my dependance on meat, dairy and processed foods was to blame, I decided to go Vegan. Yeah me. A woman who dreams in butter and ribs was going to veggie route. So I purchased all Vegan items which costs way more than what I normally buy and began planning my menu. I started with a hummus which I have made before. I also had salads, sauteed veggies and fruits. I have been on it and must say that I don't feel so good. I feel itchy and uncomfortable and can't sleep well. But I don't have chest pains and feel like I am breathing better. But I must say that missing my dairy products has been the hardest to overcome. I can get by without meat but ice cream, yogurts, sour cream, heavy cream. I miss them all. So to combat that I watch horrible videos of animal cruelty to keep me focused. I hate what I am seeing and them as I munch on a banana or apple or popcorn, I feel like I am doing something for the environment and more importantly the animals.
I will keep at it. A side note I have not lost any weight like I did when I was on the South Beach diet last year. Just saying.
Conscious Eating!!
