This isn’t an educational post. It’s more of an eye opening experience brought on by fate. Four weeks ago I was sitting on the couch, stuffed from overeating, and heart beating rapidly. I’m 36. My heart shouldn’t be beating rapidly while sitting still. By chance, by fate I happened to select a documentary which would change my life.
Forks Over Knives was the documentary. I was thinking it was about an unsolved crime or murder in small town America. Oh boy was I off. The next thing I know, I’m captivated by data and factual evidence stating why we shouldn’t eat meat and dairy. Here is one of the pieces of evidence that caught my attention…..
Right then and there, I decided to go vegan and focus on plant based foods. The data, the clinical studies connected to me. The people in the documentary I could relate to with their blood pressure and acid reflux medication. I was tired of being 36 and feeling over 55. This was my chance to change.
Here are the changes that have occured in 4 weeks of a plant based foods diet:
- I have lost 12 lbs.
- My blood pressure is back to normal.
- I’m down to 1 acid reduction pill per day.
- I’m learning new ways to cook food.
- I’m learning how to spice food.
- I’m starting to internally feel better.
Is this an educational post? After typing this out, maybe it is more of an educational post than I originally thought. I’m learning new things about myself. I’m learning how to take care of myself. I’m learning new recipes and learning a new way of life. Overall, I just feel better and that’s important to me and my family.
