Be careful with vegan. My BFF is a vegan, so I have tasted most of it. Some is good, and some is a copy made by someone that has never eaten meat. As a Vegan, it is Very hard to get enough B vitamins, and a common side effect is depression.
So IF you decide to be a Vegan, be sure to get some good quality B vitamins and take them every day! I got some for him, and it really helped him a lot!
There is a healthier in between, look into vegetarian. It has the benefits of improved health, with very low danger. I am a preferential vegetarian, I eat a lot of veggies, because I LIKE them! I still eat Meat, when it catches my fancy, but most of my food is vegetables.
I ate steamed vegetables for dinner tonight, because I like them. Unlike a vegan, I put Butter on them, ROFLOL!

sir smithlabs..as I've talked about in many of my posts we are on the Keto plan which I think is the healthiest diet in the world and has done wonders for our health.
The SAD (Standard American Diet) is loaded with Carbohydrates, and limiting them is smart. The truly healthiest diet is Vegetarian, with a lot of History behind it to back that claim.
The Keto diet is similar to the Atkins diet, and is well proven to be a fast weight loss diet. A young Lady I used to work with put herself in the Hospital with the Atkins diet, she went into ketoacidosis.

I do NOT know that the diet you are on will do this, but please be careful! I would love to steal the pink chair (Throne?) from you, ROFLOL; But I would NOT want to win it this way! SO Stay healthy! Okay?
But there is a century of empirical data to support the weight loss, and health advantages of being a vegetarian. If I had the discipline, I would do it myself; But I will just have to keep nibbling around the edges I guess.
:)preaching to the choir.
the Atkins diet had serious issues which I've already written about in my posts.
Hippocrates:
He was a pretty smart old boy! I had a salad from my weed patch tonight. Lambs quarters for lettuce, Purslane for flavor, Dandelions for bite, and some cherry tomatoes (I know those are Not weeds, but they are growing back there). I made some vinegar (with Mother) and oil dressing, and I ate well (it was better than the pizza, ROFLOL)
:)haha! better for you than pizza by far but I don't know about better tating! if that's where you're at then you're there! but I don't know what Purslane is, some kind of weed?
Yes most people think Purslane is a weed, It is tangy, and I think refreshing. You should try some, you might like it.
