My 40th Birthday is next month thought its time to make some more changes to my already healthy lifestyle. I am all for getting older, I consider myself very lucky to be here on Earth. I appreciate every day of my life, I love life!
So back to me becoming Vegan, this is going to take some time I can see!
On 1st April 2012 I decided after many years as a vegetarian to cut out dairy and caffeine completely. It was far easier than I imagined it would be.
I have since then gradually eaten more Raw foods slowly replacing cooked meals with more raw vegetables and salad.
This has been reasonably easy, considering it is British Summertime. I have had some serious cravings for potatoes though as this is my weakness, not forgetting biscuits.
I feel much better in my skin. I feel cleaner and have more energy. Although I do need to work on staying awake during a film :-/ I have never been very good at that! Even at the cinema.
When I first introduced more raw foods I had quite a few detox symptoms whilst my body was purging the toxins from my system. These included a rash, tiredness, moodiness, diarrhoea, and general lethargy.
I didn’t let all of the uncomfortable stuff discourage me, instead, I looked at it as better out than in.
I have lost 18 pounds in weight and dropped a dress size. I didn’t change my diet to lose weight I made changes so I can feel better and to remove the guilt of knowing how poorly animals are treated so we can indulge our taste buds!
I wish I had done it years ago; I was ignorant of how poor the animals are treated. I always bought organic dairy, but sadly this does not mean our animals get treated any better.
