And you should!!!! She cares about your (collective) health!
My husband and I (AND the kids) are currently switching over to a vegetarian diet. Before we moved to Oklahoma, and after I had my second daughter, we went full-fledged vegan, and LOVED it. Somehow we started slipping, and then in the last 8 years since we've been here, our diet has gotten worse and worse. LOL!!!
Both of us have packed on weight (I won't say how much
), and since we're both outside a lot, I have to attribute it to diet. Hard to keep from gaining weight if every meal has lots of refined starches, meat, butter, cream, etc.!
ANYwayze, we're a week in so far and not even missing the meat (much) and dairy. I did start phasing out meat and dairy about 3 weeks ago, so it wouldn't be cold turkey. I already feel better, and I've dropped 3 lbs. just since last Monday. (Not sure about Jeff, but he's not complaining--I even got him to like tofu, cooked into an Indian curry dish.)
So good luck! Going on a cleanse not only helps your body, but it also restores self-discipline and you'll find making good food choices is easier after you gone 3 weeks without everything you want.
