Hi all, I just lost a bunch of weight doing Ideal Protein, and completed a fast at the end to cleanse my body of all the toxins I know I ate while on that plan.
I just watched "Forks over Knives", "food, inc." and "fat, sick and nearly dead."
I'm juicing alot, and trying REALLY hard to learn to cook vegan...THIS TIME so we can all stick to it. I have been here before, but got so bored and burnt out trying to eat tofu and salad I could cry. I now am armed with more info, 2 good cookbooks, and I dearly hope friends here to help me along the way.
This is what I want, for my self, my family, and the earth.
thanks, I can't wait to get to know you all.

Welcome!
If you are juicing a lot, make sure you are only juicing organic fruit and vegetables. Otherwise you are drinking concentrated toxins. Also, you might want to google vegetarian forums, the first one that shows up is active and you can find a ton of advice on there.

I went vegetarian in July. I really want to be completely vegan, but it is a process for me. Eating out and at other homes is tough. But I'm having a lot of fun cooking new things.

I wish you luck!
