I've decided, for the month of January, to eat an entirely plant-based diet. Whoa. Yeah. Its going to be awesome!
But I don't love the word "vegan". I like "plant based", "raw", and "plant power", so those are the words I'll use.
I've been consuming a lot of plant-based food propaganda recently that has influenced my decision to make this goal. Most influential have been the documentaries "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead", "Forks Over Knives", "Food Matters", and "Food, Inc". As I progress toward my goal of eating only plant-based food for 30 days, I will chronicle my experiences and progress here on my blog. There are a lot of concepts, facts, and research that has contributed to convincing me to try this out, and I plan to summarize my findings for you here.
I couldn't do this without the support of my amazing husband (who will NOT be eating tofu), who gave me this ridiculously awesome juicer from Breville as a Christmas present. Here's what I woke up to on Christmas morning--way to go Kyle!:
I am really excited to plunge into this new lifestyle and look forward to sharing my experiences with you!
So excited to hear how it goes! Can't wait for the details.
ReplyDeleteThis is Awesome Mel! Welcome to heaven.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! David and I have been watching some things and although we aren't going to be super strict we are changing some things. We never really ate a lot of cheese, milk, red meat or boxed snacks so it hasnt been that bad. Do you mind posting recipes? I have a few I can share too. thanks!
ReplyDeletecool! can't wait to hear how it goes!

ReplyDeleteI'm always late to any party. Bad habits die hard. So, with that in mind. May I join you in your party? Although I am 4 days late, I can go 4 days into February to make it right. Uuunlessss there's a late fee? :- D That does make catching up easier; skip 4 days and still be on schedule. Hugs, my friend. Lisa Wagner
ReplyDeleteGirl! I love this!!! I've been a vegetarian for a little over 2 years now and I go through phases of loving juicing/smoothie and getting so sick of them that I just can't do it anymore. Thank you for inspiring me to wake up and be more healthy! I know how, it's just difficult for me sometimes. Thank you and good luck!!
