Seriously, I'm dropping weight like crazy right now.
Hubby decided he wanted to eat vegan, so I jumped on board, simply because I wanted to try it and because I didn't want to cook separate meals for us. I'm already cooking separate meals for the boys- I didn't need to add another menu.
I started Sunday, after getting home from NH. It's now Tuesday, two days later, and I've lost four pounds. Four pounds!! I weighed in this morning at 151.5 lbs. That's the lowest I've weighed since after LB was born!
I can't say that we're totally vegan. I still use cheese and milk once in awhile, although we've switched to Silk. And I'm certainly not pushing it on the kids- LB's diet is already limited. And I'm definitely not going to be one of those annoying people who can't eat out because there are no vegan choices- I'll still eat chicken once in awhile. But being on this diet for just a few days, I feel so good! Definitely less chocolate cravings and of course the awesome weight loss results thus far. I thought I'd feel completely ravenous on this diet, but it's funny, I don't.
I'm not really touting this lifestyle as a weight loss solution, but I'm sure if more people adopted a vegetarian or vegan choice a few times a week, perhaps it would work for others, too.
I was incredibly apprehensive at first, because it was very foreign to me and I didn't think I'd be able to stomach life without meat. I'm still a little freaked out, but it's been surprisingly easy to eliminate animal products. Although, I'm still a cheese lover and definitely can't cut that out completely. :)
What do you think? Do you eat vegetarian or vegan? All the time, or a few times a week? Or does the whole concept turn you off?

I don't think I could ever do vegan, I have a slight addiction to ice cream and the soy stuff just doesn't cut it. I have considered going vegetarian though. I really don't care for much meat. My dh and dd love meat though, so it's still around the house thus far.
