Awesome! Try to resist the urge to turn to meat & dairy substitutes as you transition to vegan, since those tend to be processed and full of crap. Stick with your whole foods and I’m sure it will make a world of difference! And hit me up for recipes!

That sounds delicious. Has you tried the coconut or soy yogurt? It wasn’t too bad.

CELESTE GIVES UP
Forty pounds.Feeling sorry for myself.
Eating crap.
Being lazy.
I'm Celeste, a magazine editor living in Phoenix.
Get ready for a lot of fitness, a lot of sass and a lot of froyo.
I’ve been reducing my meat and dairy consumption.
Today’s mishmash of a lunch:
- Boca burger
- Balsamic-Dijon lentils with carrots, onions and Swiss chard
- Grilled zucchini, squash, bell peppers
To answer some questions from my previous post — I have been devouring books on anti-inflammatory diets.
I’ve tentatively decided to transition into a vegan diet.
Unfortunately dairy and eggs are big problems for inflammation and arthritis. I don’t consume milk or cheese, but yogurt and eggs are major components in my diet.
I’m hoping to incorporate more vegetables and whole grains.
I love vegetables, but it’s just a matter of cooking more often. I can get lazy. On the carb front, I tend to forego good carbs for simple ones (frozen yogurt and Frappuccinos, anyone?). Bad news. But I’m already adding more quality grains into my diet, and it’s delicious.
So there’s that.
Also, I am on an arthritis-specific NSAID. But obviously I want to do whatever I can to keep my body healthy and pain-free.
