Hello everyone,

Wanted to stop by and say hello, has been awhile since posting and felt the need to check in. Still feel a connection here because the success has been so wonderful for many including myself, however, due to my difficulty in digesting many meats have had to look in another direction and am doing very well.

My family however is very happy with the recipes and suggestions that I get from this site and will continue to stop by from time to time and enjoy hearing how everyone is doing on this great journey.

Just in case anyone is interested, My success these days comes from becoming vegan. I was vegetarian most of my life til had my children then my body craved meats and gave into this need and that's why was able to do pretty well on this woe. However, my new journey, is about more than just not eating meat and actually went vegan due to health reasons.

I'm very happy and found myself losing weight as a bonus as my initial goal was just to get healthy.

I have doctors that think high protein diets are very good and they also think being vegan is good too ? confusing right, the point is, they tell me that whichever one chooses, it's very important to stick with your decision to get the full benefits. Makes sense to me.

Wishing everyone all the best always.

Hi Elizabeth, very nice to hear from you!!!

And you are correct, no matter how one chooses to eat, they still need to make healthy choices within that style of eating.

As you already know, You can still eat good carb when eating Vegan style; after all we have vegetarian, vegetables and sides, and casseroles in every book that you could easily choose from.

Anyhows...we are happy to see ya 'round ~Happy Eating!

For me vegan could not be an option (at least I certainly HOPE I never have to do it!). But if it works for you, great! Whatever works to get healthy, and to lose is a great bonus!!

Thank you George,

Yes, very happy their are recipes that can incorporate into my vegan lifestyle. I do eat grains sparingly, beans are more of a necessity for me, and both together perfect combo.

Hope all is well with you and your lovely family.

Hi Billie,

Yes, becoming vegan has changed my life. Being vegetarian was a little easier, but now that jumped in with both feet to vegan, it's very easy. I did it for health reasons and lost 40 pounds rather quickly which was a big surprise.

Who would have thought from the person who loved bacon and chicken and a thick steak once in awhile could ever go vegan, but can't explain other than has changed my life and the best thing is can incorporate some recipes from this site and George's cook books. My family enjoys recipes from SStyle that I used to make and nice to see them happy and knowing they are being healthy too.
