Following a Facebook link, I ended up watching a whole movie and decided to try a different type of diet than all the others out there. It’s a vegan diet, but even a little more strict, limiting no oil, no tofu, and some other things that I may or may not follow.

I just spent most of today reading through even more on the web site and looking for recipes. And I successfully finished a full day eating vegan. No cheese, no meat, no milk, no eggs. And I survived it.

I poured a whole can of beans into a serving of rice for lunch, and added more veggies. I overdid it with the beans in that one, but about half way through, I was full and stopped eating. (I finished it later.) The no-carbohydrate diets never let me stop. The only time I wouldn’t finish was if something wasn’t that good and was even worse as it got colder. Well, this dish was kind of like that too, but I easily pushed it away. I hope that was in part to including carbs. I overdid it with the pita bread later.

I’ll just have to see how long I can last on this plan and if it does me any good. I just couldn’t stand to count calories after so many months of it while at the same time eating out with Ike so much as to reverse my progress doing that. It was just too many months with nothing to show for it. I’m right back up where I started late last year. Now I’ll find out if eating vegan can be good for me. Hopefully I won’t gorge on pita bread or anything else again.

And boy have I collected a lot of recipes. I have to try them out now. Slowly.
