RICE MILK

In consciously cutting back on fats and oils, since the fat you eat is the fat you wear, not carbs! I changed over to rice milk original. It's so good, and adds just enough sweetness, for me anyway, to cereals. I still use unsweetened organic soy milk for my soups and cooking. 


I had been eating TOO MUCH vegannaise since it is so good, and was fearful of stepping up on that scale... but it didn't make a difference! I still hadn't gained any weight back...I haven't lost another pound, but as I said I am eating too much fat. 


On occasion I have oreida onion rings, the gourmet ones, they are HIGH FAT! even though I bake them, but still no animal products, just fat fat fat... 


so I am on a roll excluding fat from my diet to see how much more weight I can lose, and still eat how I enjoy eating. I also realize that eating such bulks of foods in order to keep satiated seems to have stretched my stomach and I seem to eat more than I ever ate before. I can see this as a potential for problems if I continue to eat too much fat as I am getting plenty of calories from my veggies and starches. So if you feel the same way, just watch out and keep track of your fat intake. 


DON'T get discouraged, just pay attention, it's not that hard when your health depends on it! AND Kudos to you for taking the steps to being healthier and living happier longer for yourself and your loved ones. 

abandoned blog! NO... I am still here...

though I don't get here much anymore with all the paths I have spread myself out on, BUT still eating NO ANIMALS, and feeling great, and though I haven't lost much more weight, I started a bit of exercise since the weather has warmed up! 
exercise is a really important part of healing your body, as it assists in insulin effectiveness if you are diabetic, joint strength if you have arthritis, and a myriad of other things... my asthma is so mild now, that walking will surely help even more... 
vegan lifestyle rocks! 


I recently discovered Boca crumbles, NO ANIMAL products in there, unlike other "meatless" meat products.. it's great in spaghetti sauce, chili and tacos... give it a try! so are the Boca Chicken patties, yummy!I like them in chix parmigiana...but I think they are NOT gluten free though, if you need to avoid wheat.. 


have a great week... and EAT TO LIVE. 

Can't believe I haven't posted since last november, shame on me!

 A great new marketplace I stumbled upon; https://www.homesteadmarket.com/

I started chewing gum, for those times I am not hungry, but seem to need something in my mouth. Well I really didn't realize that ALL GUM today is full of aspartame! so I found B-fresh gum through this company, and am anxious to try it out. I will let you know what I think and if so use this company ! They are friendly, helpful and all for the customer and their satisfaction.

I am still doing great, have not lost another pound, and in fact gained 3 back! but I added quite a bit of fat to my diet with eating out , earth balance butter, vegannaise, and toffuti sour cream... so I cut those in half, and lost 2lbs.

Fat added to your diet really will bring it back on... so just keep eating and watch the fat!

I am looking forward to exersizing by walking around my area with my camera in hand...

have a great day and keep on eating for your life!

Good early morning ! The storm is coming through, lightening and rain, crisp cool air and the last of the leaves dropping. 
The weight loss seems at a plateau,but since that was not my initial reason for my lifestyle change, that's ok. I feel fabulous, and energetic.
The other night I chose to eat two tiny nestle crunch candy  bars, for no other reason than the season...
2hrs later, my hands and body had a mild ache all over...my body sharing with me how much it does not like animal products and not to do that again please! 
It is amazing how our bodies really will tell us what we need to do, so LISTEN, listen, l i s t e n.......

The best thing about this  eating lifestyle is you feel good so quick, it is encouraging to keep it going...the weight comes off so quickly in the beginning, that too is a bonus.
