Its way easier this time (I say on Day 3!) since I have already cut my alcohol consumption down to nothing and I still don't eat many animal products. I am working out pretty seriously, so I am using some extra food and a vegan protein powder (Nutiva) in moderation.
Lots of salads, soups, beans, fruit, and smoothies! Today I tried a chocolate smoothie. I went into a real skeptic, but I cant slurp it fast enough now- so good!

That smoothie sounds delicious. Eat To Live was what started all of my learning about getting healthy and eating well. And it's the book that I recommend to people who are looking for answers. You're also right that it's a great thing to be able to fall back on when things have gone slightly astray. It's been a great foundation for me for 6+ years now. Wow, time flies. Glad you're doing well :)
Thanks, Nikki. I avoided getting back to E2L for some reason, but I feel so great back on track :)
oh my gosh, is it good? spinach with chocolate? that sounds like an unusual combo. but same as you, i've been taking my work outs really seriously for a healthier lifestyle. good luck to both of us. :D
