[QUOTE="smurfybrown, post: 3450766, member: 67680"] I gave up the highly processed foods, (pasta,pizza, bread, cereal, hot dogs, deli meat, etc. any convenience food), and drastically slowed down on beer and wine. Quit eating away from home 95% of the time. Trying to stay on a mostly whole-food-plant-based-lifestyle, but I believe totally vegan isn't really the way to go. Paleo/Vegan = Pegan Good quality fats, proteins, and carbohydrates are all necessary nutrients. Probiotics are good for us. (yogurt, kombucha, kefir, etc.). Grass-fed meat products, pastured-poultry, non-CAFO. At the very most basic, preparing your food at home from scratch (mostly) is way more healthy than buying ready-made foods that are full of additives. I guarantee, you will be misunderstood by almost everyone you know. My own dear hubby still doesn't get it when I refuse to use the condiments he loves, even when the first listed ingredient is High Fructose Corn Syrup. They say "oh, a couple bites won't hurt you." I try to explain that if I believe a certain food is probably not on my "OK" list, that I won't cave in just because it tastes good. I can tell it hurts his feelings when I don't want to eat pancakes, or waffles, or biscuits and gravy or any fast food whatsoever. :wornout: I always tell him,"you know, that is all so delicious, but I just can't do it. It's on my NO list. Please don't take it personally." Good health starts in our intestines. [/QUOTE]
