Hi all
I am posting this so my friends can hold me accountable. I am going to try going a month eating only
plant based foods.....
Wait, there is NO TRY, only DO (per Yoda...)
So, let me rephrase--
I AM going to eat only plant based foods for roughly a month.
Those of you that know me, my diet is actually not terribly off from that--
Yet, wine screams to me..."EAT CHEESE!"...so my weekend treat of wine will be lonely...maybe hummus will work as its new friend? I also love to have animal protein on my yummy green salads.
WHY? you ask...well, some would say--she'll eat less calories--ummmm...most likely NOT...
Have you ever seen my salads? It is true, that plant based foods are high in nutrition value. It is also a fact that you can eat too much of anything, whether it be hummus or cheese dip.
Unfortunately, I do have to make one exception--I'll still eat eggs. Due to some health constraints, I probably wouldn't get enough protein otherwise. Those same health issues direct me towards gluten free....I do not have Celiac disease- but am much healthier when I significantly limit gluten.
Ok, I still haven't answered WHY....
It is nothing profound...really just as a personal challenge and to help me guide my vegetarian clients from actual experience. Who knows, maybe I'll feel so great I'll go longer than a month :)
