Week one was a rough week:
The first three days I screwed up and ate things that were not vegan on accident. (Frosted Mini Wheat’s – gelatin, Burrito from Taco Bell – apparently had milk product in the sauce, dipped some french fries in ranch)
I have been fantasizing about eating steak, sushi, and scrambled eggs.
I had decided in the first few days that everything vegan tastes like a just slightly expired version of what it is trying to be. I have since started to change my mind, but for some foods it is still true.
I was hungry all the time because I wasn’t working a very good system.
I thought I’d never get to go out to eat ever again or if I did I’d be eating a salad.
Things have started to look up:
I ate the most delicious Tofurky Pizza last night. I have been missing junk food terribly and decided to splurge on an $8.00 Tofurky frozen pizza. It was amazing. My partner, an avid meat eater, even enjoyed it.
I no longer feel bad after meals. I used to eat large quantities of meat or cheesy foods and while they were delicious I always felt like crap afterwards.
I do feel like I have more energy. Obviously I am doing something right because I feel more awake and don’t need to take a nap immediately after eating.
I found a chocolate that I can eat which honestly would have been a deal breaker.
I spent a decent amount of money to replace the things I missed most with vegan alternatives.
I found a bunch of vegan and veggie restaurants in the area.

That's awesome you have more energy. I know that processing meat takes a lot more energy than its worth, since meat eaters in the west tend to eat a couple times more meat than they can actually process, so its kind of a waste of energy. Maybe that's why you don't need to nap after.
