My immediate goal is to make it through 1 month of the fat free vegan diet (or vegan heart healthy) according to Dr Esselstyn's prescribed program. I have no doubt I'll make it through now that I've converted. To support the diet change I have been researching the vegan lifestyle. I have also been going through recipes online. When it comes to what not to eat, veganwolf.com is very helpful. I'm sure this endeavor will take up a lot of my time going forward.
As I sit here typing I smell the amazing aroma of tomatoes roasting in the oven to the point of carmelization. There is definitely a switch in my thinking about food, health and life, in general. I feel more calm and focused than I have been in so long. I find myself getting things done without thinking about them (and usually talking myself out of doing them...). I am thinking about the near future in a positive and excited way. It was a good day.
Food finds/rediscovery:
- Claussen sauerkraut - yes, I've had sauerkraut but I didn't realize Claussen produced it! Yum! I eat it out of the jar - it is that good.
- Sun-dried tomato oil free crackers - OMG! They're light and crispy!!!
- Sweet hot mustard - wow! I'm going to use this for a honey-dijon dressing recipe
- Jalapeno mustard (yellow) - I bought this for my mom and she swears by it. It also comes in habanero
- Dave's Spicy Bread & Butter pickle chips - the spiciness is subtle but these are GOOD!
What I ate today:
- Green apple
- Oatmeal with apples
- Rice crackers
- Ezekiel raisin bread w/very little sour cherry jam
- Radishes, bubbies, pepperocinis, Dave's Spicy Bread & Butter pickle chips, salsa
- Sauerkraut
