I know I created this blog to blog about my pregnancy, well I managed all of 2 blog posts. On the bright side, I now have a beautiful baby girl.
Now, I bet you're wondering why I titled this "My Vegan Experience." Basically, my husband and I have decided to go vegan for 1 month.
Why would meat-lovers go vegan, that's absurd!
Recently a friend of ours was diagnosed with a lot of food allergies so we decided to (starting on Monday) support her by eating the way she does. This means no: dairy, soy, tree nuts, hops, peas and lima beans. AND about an hour after we decided we were going to support her in this way, we had the bright idea of watching the documentary "Forks over knives" and unfortunately it made some very compelling points.
Starting on Monday, we're giving up ALL animal products for 1 month. I mean, we were already giving up diary, right? Which also means I'm giving up my 3 favorite food groups: chocolate, milkshakes and Chick-fil-a (unless of course I just want french fries, which I'm totally okay with).
I know some people look at these "diet experiences" and want to know a.) HOW IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE? and b.) what are the weight loss benefits of it c.)how much better/worse will I feel. Even though the weight loss benefits are not the reason I am doing it, I still plan to post a starting weight and an ending weight...so NO judging!
I plan to update every few days at least, so feel free to keep abreast of my experience. Also, if any of my friends out there are vegan or have attempted vegan, feel free to offer advice or pointers...I'd love to hear about your experience.
