The breaking point in my new found interest was when I went to a party last week. A girl there told us she was a vegetarian. Her. Skin. Was. Amazing. All other girls there had nice skin, but hers was simply amazing.



I have seen another girl on this forum express herself with some photos by showing us what it did for her skin. Amazing.

This, on top of every other benefit, is just simply enough for me to want to try it. I am working on a fitness project at the moment. Basically I will take myself from 200lbs to 180lbs and try to manifest the biggest physical change in myself that I will ever go through. I thought I would go on a vegan diet for this, and now, I am convinced- and have chosen to do it.

My question here is, being a vegan- what would you have liked to know before starting this diet? Is there some advice you can give to someone who is new to this? Books? Audio books?

I will read all of Steve's articles regarding this tonight - any additional tips and tricks are welcome!

I will be logging this diet and workout regimen extensively- once I am done, I will share what I've learned and the results I have had. The skin in my face isn't as smooth and as healthy as I'd want it to be...I'll be giving this a shot and hope to get good results. I have already put a lot of work into this little fitness project...the level of detail and consistency I will put into this is HIGH. The more detail I can manipulate, the better.

Anyone who has similar interests and would like to, possibly, follow what I am doing is welcome. I will log everything and direct you as best as I can! This will be a learning experience above all else.
Learn to eat a healthy vegan diet. Bread, pretzels and crackers are a vegan diet but a very unhealthy diet. Get plenty of greens and supplement with vitamin B--12. What is a healthy food? Dr Oz says that it is one without a list of ingredients. The above wheat foods have an ingredient list. Apples do not.
