Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to 7 Day Vegan. I am going to be experimenting with vegan eating for the next 7 days. My reasoning for this is three-fold. The first reason is that I have been reading and hearing a lot of information about veganism in the last few months. Many vegans claim to feel healthier and more energetic as soon as they removed animal products from their diets.

Secondly, I have been trying to eat more fruit and vegetables in my diet overall and thought that this experiment would put more pressure on my fruit and veggie diet.

Thirdly, I feel that lately the more I try to cut calories, the more I am adding more unnatural foods like sweet & low or splenda to my diet, which, calorie wise works, but overall isn’t good for you. So, in addition to my veganism for the next week, I am going to try to cut down on all unnatural foods.

I have done a little bit of research and printed out a few recipes and coupons from the Whole Foods website but am going into this as I do most things in life…without a real plan except no animal products and as few unnatural foods as possible for the next 7 days.

I am going to Whole Foods tonight to get my food for the week. I will update as to what I bought and how much my bill is, and put my recipes and how I am feeling each day for the next seven.
