Dieting has to the most backward rituals we perform. We restrict… Knowing you will return to the way you were eating once you lose the weight.

You’re nervous. You’re not sure what to expect? What if it’s a disappointment? What if I turns out bad? What if I can never eat anywhere again? What if everyone talks about me? What if I don’t lose weight? What if I don’t like the food? What am I supposed to do on vacations? What…

Baked Beans –> walnut, carrot, and mushroom ground “beef” and Vegetarian baked beans. Smoking Tofu – Smoked two blocks of tofu with different rubs. Slice and serve on whole wheat hamburger buns.

When you start changing your eating habits the people around you seem to change too. Why are you eating that? You could just eat chicken and vegetables. Eww tofu? You are not eating any meat? People take personal offense to your choices. It’s really odd. Prepare yourself.

3 weeks without animal protein. Downside: I am a bit more gassy (TMI) but it does not smell bad. 🤷🏾♂️ I also feel great! Much lighter in the mornings. I now wake up before my alarm.
