Going vegetarian or vegan

livestrong65

This week I go vegan! Will log food but not so much counting calories. I train for long distance rides and burn quite some calories which is AWESOME. But lately not losing weight, maybe gaining muscles? My clothes are getting too big so it is doing something good. I am on Vega Sport products, like Vega One shakes and protein drinks. Next Monday I hope to see weightloss too. Anyways, starting drinking Vega products and so, made me feel really good. So now I am going for a whole week!
One amazing thing about eating more vegetarian the last few weeks and using Vega products, I do not need reading glasses anymore. I was just reading today this article:

Congrats on your new commitment! I've recently made it down to pescetarian and I'm hoping to go fully vegetarian over the next two months.. I'm blind as a bat because I use the computer constantly so I don't think that my change of diet will improve or hurt my eyesight but I guess it's cool to think about.
