Saturday 9th I managed to complete 7 weeks of vegan diet. I am becoming increasingly aware of my body's needs. I kind of feel what I need to supplement and what I need to cut down on. I gave up RedBull Sugar Free as well. It is a great accomplishment because I used to drink it not only because it seemed to help me stay focused and alert when tired but also because I liked it. I also noticed that I am very careful about not wasting any parts of the plants I eat. I discovered new flavors, which are amazing. It is remarkable how profoundly plants can change their flavor when not mixed with meat. I finally managed to discover tofu and several ways of cooking it. I can now introduce in my diet in a reasonable quantity and without hating it. It is great when baked with Asian spices and added to sauteed spinach. My secondary goal is to go down to 500 Kcal/day, which will probably mean 600 Kcal/day realistically. My main goal is to eat my last meal by 18:00. It is a challenge because I tend to skip early breakfast. Oh, and I also managed to introduce a multi-grain shortbread that is low in calorie and quite tasty. It is also really expensive but I only eat 2-3 slices (the equivalent of one slice of white wheat bread) per day. It is wonderful with humus or guacamole topped with capers. I love it! Never thought I would. Meat cravings are almost gone! Smells remind me of my meat-eating period more than seeing a roasted dead chicken on the table. I've never eaten meat much anyway.
