my wife is an annoying vegan and is my source.


How long has she been vegan and what are her reasons? Health ? Ethics?
health at first although she's gotten really into the ethics part. That's the annoying side to me. She made the ethics transformation after watching Earthlings. Anyhoo, I went strictly plant based for a little over a year and really enjoyed it. I've always been a weightlifter and general health nut but this diet did take me to next level leanness. I was around 185 when I started and after about 2 weeks I was 165 and stayed there while I was on that wagon. Everybody I know thought I looked too skinny and sickly. Also, I travel a lot and work in sales and it's pretty hard to stay that militant about eating plant based and it's a pretty polarizing stand. I go with the flow when I'm out with people. I usually average 1-2 meals per week with meat, 9 out of 10 times it's seafood. My weight is usually stuck on 172.

Thanks for the information. I have ate a vegetarian diet for extended periods and really felt great but I have never tried a strictly plant based diet. It is a lot more effort to maintain and it can be expensive. I have about 20 pounds of hemp protein so I have been considering doing completely plant based for a few months just to gauge how I feel.
