@darlia is the vegan diet working? I was wondering if vegetarian or vegan diets work better then the other.

I am not a Vegan, but I am a Vegetarian. I eat fish. I don't even miss meat anymore. I broke down and had a piece of Prime rib one night. Could not even eat half of servicing. I don't loose weight and I don't gain weight. I am not saying it is fun, but red meat scares me. Who knows what they are feeding the cattle???

Moderation of Vegan though. You can occasionally add your animal proteins too. Plant based is the new buzz word

Greetings Lisa~.. I would say that it is helping me feel much better to leave beef, chicken and pork alone. I have had some turkey and chicken and small amt of grass fed hamburger and a few pieces of bacon and some cheese too recently .. but this was over the last couple of months and it was in a small amount. Mostly eating without meat. We do eat fish and eggs too. The Vegan diet lasted for a couple of weeks and then we thought, okay, we can't do the complete switch all at once, but need to ease into it.. So, I make many recipes that are without meat and we use more grains like brown rice, wild rice, black beans, Kasha and buckwheat and lots of vegetables. I love to cook so experimenting has been fun. Pinterest has many many good ideas and recipes for anything you want to try. Also, I found a good resource in a site called Ancient Grains.

If you watch the documentary produced by Netflix Originals called
"What the Health?" .... You will be so amazed at how the 'meat' that is produced today is killing us!
Stay Safe!
