500 Days

Postby Drew615 » Fri Sep 06, 2013 12:28 pm

Yesterday was my anniversary for 500 days since becoming a starch-loving vegan. I've lost 115 pounds so far and am off nearly all my meds. Honestly, I didn't realize how lousy I felt for so long until I started really feeling better.

I had the pleasure of doing the McDougall 10-day program in August - I only wish I had attended one sooner. Hearing John and Mary McDougall, Jeff, Doug, and a host of others, speak in person was a real treat.

I honestly can't imagine ever going back to eating meat and dairy. Eating this way hasn't always been simple, I had a real learning curve to climb. But I can honestly say it was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

Hi Drew, congratulation on your 500 days. I would love to attend a 10 day Mcdougall program plan. Keep up the good work. :D
