Almost vegan by accident [View all]
For the past week I've been really watching what I eat and limiting my caloric intake.
I've always wanted to go vegan, but it never lasted more than a few months before I'd go out to a restaurant and eat meat. And I've always gone cold tofurky
This week, though, I've added tons of fresh fruits and veggies and almost completely cut out meat and dairy. I actually feel like I'm eating more food and I stay pretty full.
I do have cottage cheese with fruit every other morning, and two eggs on the others.
A single serving of mozzarella cheese for a snack on some days.
I've found that I love green tea and almond milk. I haven't had cow milk at all.
As far as meat goes, I portioned it so much that I actually like my beans better. Fish will probably be the last meat that I cut out.
I feel better already and have lost 9 pounds.
I am keeping a food journal and it's kinda fun.
Not beginning an exercise regimen until my body gets used to the changes. (Plus I'm down from a wreck, so not up for much anyhow)
Anyhow, taking my time with the changes. Thanks for letting me share!
