I'm amazed it's already been 2 months on a plant-based diet. I haven't been able to weigh myself recently, but last time I was able to weigh myself I lost 10 pounds and this is with no exercise. I was still having my dessert everyday and I still lost. I'm way too happy.
Some things I have noticed the past few months......
I have been saving a lot more money on groceries and when my husband and I eat out. Meat and dairy added up and going for more fresh vegetables and fruits is cheaper. We still have a cheaper bill even when buying the organic fruits and veggies. Yay for non-genetically modified and no pesticides in our food!
When I get less sleep than I'd like I'm not as affected as I would've been while I was eating meat and dairy. I am able to sleep heavier and get more rest in shorter amount of time. My husband and I would need naps during our weekends, but since we changed our eating habits we haven't needed a nap. Our naps used to be a good 2-4 hours.......what a waste of the weekend.
I used to get really stressed at work and would have to take vitamins to try to control my adrenaline. I don't need those stress pills anymore.
The best part is that even without exercise my husband and I have been losing weight. My hope is to start exercising next week to start getting toned. We'll see.
My asthma was under control for the month of December! I know this is from having no dairy because I've had asthma problems every December and this is the first time I didn't struggle to breathe. I had little coughs here and there, but it's nothing compared to what it used to be.
I love meat, but I will continue to eat vegan because of all the benefits I've experienced so far. It's so worth it to feel and look healthier.
