Cheese for everyone!

Today I embark on a month-long experiment of being a vegan. For those that don’t know, a vegan is a vegetarian, but crazier – no meat, and no animal or diary products. Well, it’s not really a experiment, but that word has more umph than “reset” or anything else I could think of. Let me explain.

As most probably know, I’ve been a vegetarian for about three years know. As humans, when one thing is taken away from us, we often compensate with something else. When I became a vegetarian, I took away meat and replaced it with more diary, such as eggs and cheese. Over time, I have become a very poor vegetarian, and probably not much better than a meat-eater when it comes to healthy eating.

To combat all the eggs and cheese I’ve been eating, I’ve decided to “reset” my diet and become a vegan for a month. Why? It will force me to branch out and find more things to eat that don’t contain eggs or cheese. At the end of the month, I’ll emerge with a new, less-cheesy diet, that hopefully will be healthier.

I’ll post updates throughout the month. In the meantime, I have to get rid of all this cheese!
