Restaurants, Beer, Sushi, Chili, Oh My!
I've now been dairy free for ten days! I guess the first four days didn't count because there was casein in the soy cheese I ate. Still, it's ten days that I have not deliberately eaten cheese. I feel great. I've lost four pounds, probably most of it extra bloating from all the dairy products I normally eat.
This has also been a good time to do a general cleanse of my system. I've temporarily cut out wheat and I'm eating only wholesome, organic foods. I've eaten broccoli every night this week and now look forward to it each night. Admittedly, I've never been a big vegetable eater, sad to say being a vegetarian and all. However, I'm totally getting into all the organic veggies now.
Even though I'm consuming less than usual, I have more energy. I've been eating too many dead foods (dairy, wheat) for too long.
I'm still drinking the green tea. I just finished my 39th cup in ten days.

Repulsed by cheese? Sheesh, I've been dairy-free for over 9 months now and I'm still thinking it looks pretty good. Great job, though--keep it up. btw, you might want to ease up on the tea :)

You're tempting me to try to give up dairy again. I've been lacto-ovo for nearly a decade and have just never gone to the next step. I tried once, and gave up after about two weeks: it's just too constricting to be vegan. And I love cheese, I guess I am one of those cheese addicts. And I've been eating yogurt like crazy lately! Ack!Thing is, I have never been able to drink milk straight from a glass - pour it on cereal, that's fine, but to drink it? Yuck! That's where soy milk comes in :DMaybe, instead of trying to cut it out completely, I should at least work on cutting back on it. I just don't know if I could give up the cream in my coffee...
