A Great Part Of Being Vegan...

                This is meat eating me, just a few weeks ago. I weighed probably around 110.

This is vegan me now. I weigh 95 lbs. (Notice I have also taken up annoying habit of taking pictures whose sole purpose is to end up on Facebook).


Let me explain why being vegan is great. Most people love to eat, and most people love to eat a lot. Like, buffet amounts of food. Vegans get to eat incredible amounts of food, and still look good. Why? Because if you are eating lots of raw carrots or fresh strawberries or bananas or Swiss chard or bok choy or any fruit or vegetable, you body is loving it. Loving the antioxidants and vitamins and minerals. Throw in the fact that your protein is nearly fat free and cholesterol free, and the abundance of whole grains (barley, bulgar, quinoa) - with in a week or so your body is transformed. Lean, energized and healthy. Happy.

And no animal suffering! Hooray for vegan food! Tomorrow the market, and the back to posts with recipes! Less chatting, more cooking! Brunch! From my new cook book... Vegan Brunch by the great Isa Chandra
