My change in diet has been so rewarding - I feel great, I've lost weight and have been told I look radiant, and I save money by cooking for myself. Plus, I've been inspired to find more ways to be healthy. Check out what I've accomplished recently in the following video:
Several people have asked if I have cravings or ever cheat, and the answers are sort of and yes. I occasionally get cravings, but find that when I eat a whole foods meal they go away. However, occasionally I'll cheat and eat something with gluten, soy, oil, or sugar. Sometimes when I do this I feel the effects right away - headaches, change in mood, tingly - it depends how much is in it or what kind of ingredient. Overall, I'm sticking to this diet indefinitely because I feel awesome. Trust me, you can do it too if you want to and if you put your mind to it. : )
What have you been doing to keep yourself healthy recently?

Thanks so much for sharing! It always re-inspires me when I see someone first hand sharing and talking about his/her own experience. I've shared this with my readers on my blog, hoping to inspire others!
what a great video! try something new - i can do that. thanks for the information and inspiration.....and yes, the domino effect - i totally believe that and thanks for the tip about your 'what you ate' site too
So inspiring! I just transitioned from vegetarain to vegan so I'm on a similar journey of experimenting with new things and being healthier! Just grocery shopping makes me excited and I'm always in a good mood and run and do yoga almost every day! Its wonderful. I'm also trying to cut out sugar.
Thanks for the info about the microwave, I use it to heat water for my tea but want to try to stop doing that now. How do you reheat your foods without the microwave?
Thanks again! I always love your videos.
You are freak'n rock'n!!!! Fantastic post! Love the "starch" shout out!
This sounds really great but I was wondering while cooking a not so healthy yet vegan meal (I'm on vacation), are you going to continue this all year and during the holidays?
I know you have more access to fresh food in CA but do you ever crave comfort food?
Wow. I have been reading your blog for a while, and I must say seeing you "transition"/ try new things is inspiring!
and since I like being nosey..jk,
how much have your cravings for other foods decreased by? a lot? little? eh-ish? :)
Thanks everyone for your comments and support. Several people have asked if I have cravings or ever cheat, and the answers are sort of and yes.

I enjoyed your video! Isn't it amazing how appealing fresh fruits & veggies are once you get rid of the oils and sugar? You truly do start to crave things like bok choy and broccoli.
