Total combined weight lost: 45lbs

One year of trying to get to a healthy weight, but more importantly a healthy mindset.

We didn’t care what we were putting into our bodies. Fiberless cereals as well as cholesterol and fat-latent cow’s milk. I remember eating a lot of chicken… everyday. As well as over processed beef. My body was a GRAVEYARD. I felt disgusted with myself for gaining weight and I- for some reason- couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. And then we started cutting back on going out to eat. Not only did it save us money but it also forced me to look at what we were consuming. No, of course nothing I made tasted like a McDonald’s Big Mac- because I probably can’t legally purchase all of the supplies that go into making one 😂 and that is okay with me! I got to experiment and make tons of other great dishes! We started eating homemade black bean burgers packed with fiber- even adding oats to the patty and switching out the bun for lettuce made it more fibrous. As well as things like pasta and stir-fry. (Carbs are not the enemy if you are simply trying to lose weight, if you would like scholarly research on this subject please Ask or Inbox me)

So here we are now. We have finally found something that works the absolute best for our human bodies. Keeping us physically performing our best, as well.

Only 3 months on a vegan diet so far (eating no animal products such as dairy, meat, eggs with no intensive exercise.) I can not wait to see what positive changes are to come for us when we do start to make time for things like cardio and weight training. (This is a goal; the next step up in our journey that we are going to shoot for.)
