Inspired by Alicia Silverstone's "The Kind Diet" and Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food," we want to experience the vegan lifestyle to improve our health, boycott animal suffering, and reduce our carbon footprint.

Laura: Too much on my plate - literally


Almost a week into veganism, and I am mostly enjoying this new lifestyle!  The major frustration has been resisting tempting occasional treats, like the Valentine's party, froyo with friends, cupcakes at work parties, etc (see the Sprinkles cupcakes from my Rotation Program graduation ceremony).  However, I am easily finding plenty of yummy vegan foods.  Too much, in fact.  I am woman enough to admit that my portions are too large for what I need.  I will try to front-end load my eating and consume less later in the day.

Day 6 Food Journal:
-oatmeal with dried blueberries, flax, granola; mushrooms, onions, broccoli, ketchup
-veggie burrito on whole wheat tortilla
-handful dried banana chips
-vegetable tofu soup
-sorbet with carob chips, banana, strawberry, mochi; orange
