It has been almost 2 full weeks that I have been eating a meat and dairy free diet.....My reasons for eliminating those things from my diet were stomach issues, and honestly, when I decided to start, I didnt have very high hopes. However, so many things have convinced me that this is how I want to live for the rest of my life!

1. Since going meat and dairy free I have had no stomach pain....at all. I actually sat in shock after a dinner out with my parents and son one night, because it was the first time that I ever remember that I wasnt in pain, or nauseated after eating at a restaraunt.

2. I have lost 6lbs, and the only change to my diet was cutting out meat and milk.

3. I have horrible skin, but its actually clearing up, to the point that my coworkers are noticing.

4. I have some anxiety issues, and havent needed to take anxiety meds since I started this plan

5. My energy has gone through the roof! I'm not all cranky feeling and stuff anymore

6. I have not, nor have I had the urge to, binge in this time period!!!

    I'm sorry to hear animal products make you feel like that, but am glad you have figured out what your body needs! I'm impressed too!

    Congrats! Keep it up. I often wonder if that is the route I should take as well.

    It really amazes me how good I feel.....And it really makes me angry that I could have been feeling like this a long time ago if I had just sat down and studied my food journal to see when I felt the crappiest. Argh. Oh well.....I am just glad I discovered this now :):):)
