A couple of weeks ago, I decided to take a long weekend before my birthday. One of the shows I like to catch on weekdays when I am home is Dr. Oz. This time, Mark Bittman was on and he was promoting his new book Vegan Before 6. I thought that this was a super-cool approach/ The time that I lost weight and had low cholesterol was when I was trying vegan. But never eating meat, cheese, eggs, and cream ever again was just too unrealistic for me- just adore good food too much. So this approach seemed really cool. To date, I have not really implemented this too much. Doing the best I can to be be vegan before 6 and eating as usual after 6. Keeping up with Weight Watchers, so I have some way to monitor the nutritional values of the approach. Made some new discoveries. Discovered that almond milk is only 30 calories compared to 150 calories for whole milk- coffee is just not that enjoyable. Some of my 'vegan' choices are a little un-vegan- like getting chili and a side salad at Wendy's- but that is a very good choice (6 points)- even if it is not that vegan. On the other hand, the veggie burger at Johnny Rockets is 11 points which is not huge- but a lot more than I expected. Running late today- there will be a lot more later. Sort of easing into this- will report in Wednesday on whether I have lost any weight on this approach yet.
Tommorrow, I will talk about my attempts to make a vegan ranch dressing!
