I'm looking for friends who have done or are doing the 21-day vegan quick start.

Are you talking about the PCRM 21daykickstart? If so I just got done with the September one and I am ready to sign up for the next one as well.

Yes that's it and I too finished. I've been flirting with vegan for several months and this really pushed me over. My energy leve is way up. I've noticed that my carnivore husband has stopped preparing a piece of meat for himself and is just eatiing what I cook. I'm looking forward to the next quickstart.

Are you still vegan? I'm just beginning. Have you read The China Study?

I just checked out this website. I have not heard of the 21 day jump start. I really like how provided are recipes and a grocery list for each week! Anyone else try the 21 day vegan quick start program?

Yes I am still Vegan and I don’t foresee changing back. Before Vegan Quick Start I was pretty much a fish-eating Vegan having evolved from a fish-eating vegetarian. Some of us have to lean into it a little at a time. That is what I recommend. It is tough to go cold turkey or perhaps I should say cold ‘tofurkey.” There will be another 21-day Vegan Quick Start in January, I think.

I have read The China Study and highly recommend it. My husband is a PhD organic chemist and the author of the China Study was a colleague many years ago. He vouches for the science and the evidence continues to mount regarding the health benefits of a plant based diet. This book and “Eating Animals” influenced me most in making the final decision to give up eating all animals and animal products.

I have found a lot of help with recipes on the internet and there are wonderful cook books now that help you eat a healthy vegan diet. I actually enjoy cooking again.

I wish you well and stay in touch.
