Going vegan for 21 days

[ykdadamaja]

Hey guys,

I'm on this Daniel fast for 21 days until Jan 21. No meat or meat bi-products- including milk, butter and cheese- for 21 days. Just fruits and vegetables. This is called a Daniel fast. Second day in, and I don't feel bad or any ill effects.

Spoke to my doctor before I started it and she encouraged it. I have been losing pounds slowly prior to this too and my doctor advised me of the steady decrease in weight. Let us see if the next 21 days plus my continued running regimen and gym attendance could get me to a point where I am proud of myself.

So far eating these fruits and veggies are okay. Made me a nice vegetable soup today and it is so tasty. Tofu has supplemented meat and while I won't lie that I don't see a difference, tofu ain't bad.

Good luck with the diet. Try making it a lifestyle that you will carry on and keep the exercise going.

Nice start to the year.

good luck, I went Vegan for over 2 years... has its pros and cons in the end I just got pissed off being ripped off for almond milk and my bones just didn't feel they where getting enough to be strong enough to lift and run... but your skin, cholesterol and mind will benefit tenfold if you keep to healthy vegan stuff.

I'm worried about the bones part and the lifting weights part. But, went to the gym today and I don't feel any less stronger had I been eating meat. It's still early yet, but I will monitor my activity.

The first time I went vegan was over 30 years ago. I felt the difference. Lost a few teeth in the process, but don't feel like it was an overall bad experience.

Best of luck mate. I don’t profess to be an expert, but The thing about challenges like this are
the mental benefit you get from proving you can do it.
And then when it’s done, you don’t need to continue forever , but it would be good to incorporate some of it into a normal diet and lifestyle moving forward so your balance is better.

i just recently started eating meat again back in september after seven years as a vegetarian. from my experience they both have their pros & cons. i see it like most things, moderation is key. there is a lot more to health than just eating right. good sleep, some exercise, good food, less stress, laughter & lots more. i was going to mention fasting as well, those shorter 72 hour fasts seemed to be great for me. each person is different though & you have to approach it from how your body responds & what it's telling you

I think fasting would be a good way to go for me. At the moment 12 hours is enough for me 8pm to 8am.

yep depends on your lifestyle, sometimes eating dinner earlier, say before 5pm then not again until breakfast. i think people eat too much. 3 meals a day is a lot for me. i used to sometimes just eat one big meal at dinner, now just breakfast & dinner

Portion control is another good way to stay healthy. We eat way too much and often.

Snacking is a bad habit too.
