https://youtube.com/shorts/znlVYlsVKqo?feature=share No craving for meat today. I just couldn't resist last night because Popeye's Chicken Sandwiches are more addictive than crack. I feel like it was easy to get back on track because of the vegetables I eat. I tend to stick with starchy vegetables, because of the way they taste. I can't stand leafy … Continue reading Switching To A Plant Based Diet Day 6

I've decided to quit fasting. There is nothing wrong with the practice, if it is working for you then by all means continue. I know from experience that what may work for one individual doesn't necessarily work for another. https://youtube.com/shorts/k5Uw8aaZt1I?feature=share After a long discussion with my health care professionals, we decided fasting isn't having the … Continue reading Quitting fasting and switching to a plant based diet.
