Vegan to Paleo: The Journey of a Lifetime page

[Fruitlover]

I posted here last week, because, after many years in the vegan/vegetarian/raw communities, I found some health problems beginning to crop up and I went on the hunt for answers.

Thanks to encouragement from forum members, I am now using myself as a human guinea pig to carry out a 30 day trial of the primal diet. Big deal for me - never done anything like this before.

The address on my website where you can read my trial is here (I'm 4 days in and so far it's been extremely interesting)...

Welcome any comments or feedback from those more experienced with this lifestyle. Unfortunately, the vegan community has already gotten wind of what I'm doing and so I'm getting some heat, but I can take it.

Awesome! Vegan to paleo/primal is quite the jump. Throw a ribeye on the grill and enjoy the ride!

Great read so far.

Or.....throw that grass fed ribeye in the oven with some butter and top it with sliced mushrooms sauteed in butter......see, I DID read it

[Me_Grok]

Yup, skimmed it, I'm guilty! I'll read day 30.

Thanks guys! I'm still stunned (and knocking on wood) that I haven't ended up with carb flu and that my body is responding so well. Many thanks to the forum members who urged me to give this trial a shot...

Day 4 will be up and running tomorrow. I will update once a day.

I love this quote of yours: "It's amazing how we can blind ourselves so willingly to the truth, how a belief system as deeply rooted as high carb/low fat was for me, can insidiously work to keep us from perceiving what's happening right in front of our faces."

THIS. YES. Go you. I'm already cheering over here.
