So can I still have beer? No cheese. Fine. No eggs. Fine. No
spinach artichoke crab dip. Fine. But can I still have beer? The answer was yes
and so I committed to being a vegan. We all have our limits. Beer was mine. But
in all honesty if giving up beer meant that I would lose 20 pounds and be the
epitome of health I would probably do it. Maybe.
I am a beer drinking vegan. Nice to meet you.
I began my diet of NOs at the beginning of January in an
effort to lose weight. I’d heard story after story of people losing weight
after becoming a vegan. I was already a vegetarian so it wasn’t that big of a
leap. Two months later I haven’t lost much weight but I do feel better and I
feel in control of my diet. I know that whatever I put in my body is good for
me and that’s a great feeling. There are no complex rules, just a honed list of
healthy foods. No adding points, counting calories, eliminating carbs, warding
off fruit or eating only meat. People swear (me included) that they could never
be a vegan because it would be too hard. After doing it I found out it was just
the opposite. It’s the easiest diet to stick to that I’ve ever had. It’s the
easiest diet to remain committed to. All diets have their restrictions and all
diets eventually fail. Being a vegan is a lifestyle and it’s way easier than
any fad out there.
Through this blog I will share my journey. I’ll share my
challenges, triumphs, tips, recipes, feelings and a personal account of a
regular girl trying her best to become happy in body and spirit.
