We have a deal: our kitchen is kept "clean," no meat or dairy of any kind except for what we feed the dog, but when we go out to eat he can order whatever he wants, no recriminations. It's working out very well so far!

And, when he ate a bison burger after not eating meat for about 6 months, he said afterwards that he felt like he'd eaten a brick.

All the fresh produce makes eating wonderful. We live on tomato, cucumber sandwiches, baked potato with salsa, corn on the cob w/o butter, fresh brocolli, ripe peaches, and whatever if fresh and beautiful at the farmers market or store:o)) Once you make the change, give up the added oil and salt, and eat fresh foods, you will really TASTE food for the first time!! It takes about 3 weeks for your tastes to change, but they will change!!

To think of food when I'm hungry, then eat some and stop thinking about it until I'm hungry again.<br /><br />We were vegetarian (plenty of dairy) before we went vegan, and I had very little energy. Dropping the dairy was a biggie for me, and I get those bursts of energy, now, too. Very odd - I had to figure out what to do with them.<br /><br />[Beer is vegan.]¡Vizcacha!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16393596414436899815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012334620640049242.post-21515924395594661702012-07-24T17:43:06.642-04:002012-07-24T17:43:06.642-04:00Enjoying your ideas.

Was surprised to learn how much salt I had been eating. I have been eating acording to Leviticus for years. Completely lost my appetite a year ago and my weight dropped dramatically. Scared me the first time and the appetite came back. The second time it happened, I told myself "good". I had to force myself to eat and never thought of food. Lost more weight and then the appetite came back. I could eat cardboard now. If I could figure out what happened, I'd make a billion bucks. Keep posting. Maybe we'll figure this out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012334620640049242.post-24602756867613316582012-07-24T17:19:57.448-04:002012-07-24T17:19:57.448-04:00What a hoot...I am reading your post while eating ...What a hoot...I am reading your post while eating a hot dog.

Now that we have some walleye in the freezer we can have fish more often which is healthier than those burgers. I'm going to try and get two veggie meals a week in without him noticing.
