It's been 3 years since I last ate meat and I never felt better. I don't eat process foods as well... It really changes the way you feel more than you look, which is great. I can't give up cheese or milk though, I looove them (:

After you mentioned the Alicia Silverstone video I got "The Kind Diet" out of the library and read it. It was so convincing and mind blowing that I followed along with you on an almost vegan meal plan (I still eat yogurt and seafood) but with eating extra to make sure I didn't loose any weight at all. I couldn't believe the results I saw after just 3 days, it's incredible!!! I'm sticking to this too because after reading that it finally was the push I needed to be able to actually cut out meat, so thanks for sharing this all Anna :)

p.s. keep an eye out at the p.o. for a "congratulatory book" card. I am half way through and it's AMAZING.

you are adorable! I so want to read that book ......

Wow Anna that's really great! I've been eating so unhealthy lately and it's really not having the best effect on me :/ But the way you talk about it! You've motivate me to try it for a week!

I will, however, NEVER cut chocolate out of my diet. I can't live without a dairy milk! (wow, that's obviously not recommended with this diet, is it? Dairy Milk....both those aren't aloud :P )

Hi Anna, these are amazing results! congrats, I honestly didn't expect you to feel so much better/healthier in such a short time.

I have found a very interesting article about the "making baby steps"-part of changing your diet towards a more plant-based diet.

http://vegan.com/ultimate-vegan-guide/chap8/

I just found it yesterday, to me it was very helpful (I am currently struggling to cut out all animal by-products in cosmetics. I won't use anything with lanolin, but organic beeswax is ok for me just now :-) )

Anyway, I wish you all the best. I agree with you btw, you shouldn't be so strict, especially when you are just starting out. So Enjoy!!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Anna. This is really big inspiration for me, because I realise I eat too much of dairy products (I don't like meat and eggs, but I do sport so I need protein a lot). Your video and article made me find some information about Skinny Bitch or veganism in general and think I will give it a try. I used to eat tofu and ,,soya meat" a lot (AND I ALSO NOTICED MY SKIN WAS IN BETTER CONDITION), so now I'm going to eat it again and remove the yoghurts and ricotta and hard cheese which I eat every day.

Hi, Anna. Congrats on this exciting discovery/journey! I'm a 15 year vegetarian who avoids dairy but LOVES chocolate :) If Jonathan can't (or, like me, won't - yum yum yum) forgo chocolately goodness in his diet, I've found that some of the Lindt Excellence bars are dairy free. It's their dark chocolate line & I believe it's their 70% (& up) cocoa bars that don't have dairy. I usually stick with the 99% cocoa bar because it's so rich that just a tiny piece will do, thereby reducing saturated fat intake, too. For hot cocoa, I just dump a bit of cocoa powder (the kind you use for baking) into a mug with some soy or coconut milk & put it either on the stove until it's dissolved or in the microwave for a couple of minutes. As you can tell, I'm super pro-chocolate :) Good luck to the both of you!

2011-02-04T15:04:53.597+00:00

Hi Anna,

I have always wanted to try this diet especially because I really don't like eating cows and pigs but especially pigs :( there are studies that pigs are just as loyal and even smarter than dogs! So as a dog lover myself I can't feel right eating them, not to mention what's done to them. But anyway, not to ramble on :p I was wondering if your grocery bill has gone up? The one reason why it's hard to switch out processed foods for all natural healthier options is because the healthier foods are more expensive, at least in the U.S. that's how it is! I also have trouble coming up with ideas because I'm really not much of a cooker either haha You guys should defiantly post updates of what you've been eating maybe even make some cooking vids for those of us who aren't so good at it!hehe :)

Good for you, Anna! :) Well, I do not eat any kind...

2011-02-04T14:10:59.309+00:00

Good for you, Anna! :)
Well, I do not eat any kind of meat except only cenrain kinds of fish and the dellicious chicken I just can not refuse. As I am a huge animal lover, my decision about meat came as an ethical one(FYI due to the allowance of ritual killing in my country - which was a nonsence and ment only for export as I live in northen Europe with no muslims at all..)few years ago. Milk - I avoid milk, but it is essential for your teeth and bones(in cases if you dont take calcium by other sources). But I dont use sugar, salt, cofee, butter for about 8 years:)
My morals of it all - to be healthy eat veggies, fruits, fresh food, which is made from a scratch(I dont fancy cooking much too, but Im at least trying and practicing it more and more). And doing the harsh nordic vintertime in northern countries use a lot of vitamines in fruits(lemons, kivis, oranges, etc.) as well as multivitamin complexes to boost the imunity, e voila! ;)
Have a good day!

2011-02-04T13:25:02.827+00:00

This was really interesting! I have always ate pretty healthy (no processed foods or red meat) but I can always do better. My problem is getting more veggies. I realize I like them better raw.

Sounds like it was a great experiment for you!

2011-02-04T13:20:26.678+00:00

Hi Anna,
I'm glad you shared all this information, it was so interesting to read... :) I've been eating a lot healthier too,and i have to say you and Jonathan were my main inspiration to make this change! I still eat fish (being portuguese,that's a huge part of my diet!) and sometimes i indulge in a bit of chocolate, but i completely removed all read meat and chicken from my diet,along with milk,cream,butter and cheese. And i feel soooo much better!! Thank you for giving me the motivation i needed to take this important step :))
It would be great if you could add some pictures of the foods you've been eating, that's always good for inspiration! :)

2011-02-04T13:13:35.582+00:00

Great post! I agree with your new choices, they are sensible, work for you both, and are definite improvements! I am really into fitness and nutrition and agree with you on a lot of the supplements. If you have never tried it, google "Salba" (chia seeds). You would be amazed at the benefits for the human body. They are one of the healthiest whole foods in the world...and they sell it at Kroger where I live in the States! :) Congrats on your new, healthier lifestyle. You were already beautiful, this is going to make you a truly radiant bride!!! <3

2011-02-04T12:48:13.413+00:00

Hi Anna,
the diet you're taking from now onwards mirrors exactly the one I've been following for the last year. Make sure your eggs are "free range" and not just organic, aside from the hen health, they taste A LOT better.
Have a fabulous new diet-life!

2011-02-04T12:46:44.364+00:00

This is really intersting to read! I've been vegetarian for over a year now (I do eat fish though), but that's because of animal welfare rather than health reasons. I do feel a lot better now that I don't eat meat, but your post has inspired me to get more into organic foods etc.

Oh and just as a side note: Chocolate is VERY BAD for dogs! Small dogs can die if they ingest only a tiny amount (and dark chocolate is especially bad because of the high cocoa content). Just thought I'd add that in case anyone didn't know! :)

2011-02-04T12:40:06.388+00:00

I've decided to eat healthier a while ago. I eat apples, bananas and kiwis everyday :) I also drink a lot of water (2 liters a day). I've been drinking lots of green tea for a long time and I've started to drink white tea as well! The only kind of meat I eat is chick-chick-chicken! I love chicken and I'll never cut it out! I also reduced the intake of chocolate because one bar of chocolate means one acne on my face :(
I changed the way I'm eating to feel better and also because I watched your old video where you talk about the importance of eating healthy when you take exams and study (thanks, Anna!) Well, I'm about to finish my high school in half a year, so I wanna have good results! Sorry that this comment is so long!
Greetings from Poland! :)

Hi Anna,

this is a very interesting post to me! I absolutely share your thoughts and experiences on a healthier plant based diet. I'm not a vegetarian, I love meat once in a while, but I eat it maybe once every two weeks or so (and mostly white meat btw).

What I really want to know: did you spent more money for the healthy, fresh, organic food? Here in Germany I probably would. Organic fruits and veggies are pretty expensive, and as a student I normally have to buy the regular ones, unfortunately...
