I cant believe its been ten days!! I wanted to give myself a few days to see how things were getting on, how it effected me any notable changes etc.
Before I started on the first of June, I was worried my health that had got to a certain level of greatness, had dipped!! I couldn't work it out, was it stress and yes part of me thinks this did play a part in it, but something I had also been considering was too much protein being consumed.
I noticed a type of grease slick after urination!! I know I put the randomness stuff on here but hey lets be honest, as honesty will out!! I worried am I eating to much grease fat and animal protein, then I had some vegan cupcakes and though wow this is nice and perhaps I could do this way of life if I looked into it so that's what happened.
What came next was my body just rejected meat, I had eliminated dairy nearly a year ago due to intolerance, and suddenly I was faced with the fact my tastes buds no longer liked meat, my body was taking it into its own hands. I was faced with the truth about where my meat came from and the products associated with it...I was shocked and seriously grossed out!! Being grossed out was the final straw, I started my new vegan plan and just got on with it.
So how am I feeling ...well my body things light to step and I am not sluggish, I am eating very well my diet is immaculate really, although I have had one night at a Chinese take away they specially made me foods to stick in with being a vegan and I am impressed with them. I have a higher nature B vital complex every day and also Spirulina in my smoothie every day. I still take my omega oils and multi vits and mins, I try to have at least 8 fruits and veg a day and make all meals with vegan alternatives which is making a transition much easier. For me it is not about what I'm eating its about good spices and herbs for flavour, so eating soya mince is cool if I have the correct flavours and tofu cheese is excellent.
The one thing that has stayed from before turning Vegan is a headache I'm wondering if this is tension related and that the move which goes ahead next week is causing slight insomnia and headache. Once this is over I shall report.
Not only am I taking the supplements a lot of the foods are fortified with calcium, B12 and Vitamin D. I will continue with this and see how it goes, one great thing is my gut hygiene seems cured.
