Today is day four of our Vegan challenge. My main goal in setting out on this task was to see if I could do it, and to see how it made me feel. There are so many stories out there about how good this way of life makes you feel and I wanted a piece of that. One expectation I didn't have was weight loss. I thought I could expect to lose a few pounds, but I wasn't sure how much since I've seen plenty of pictures of plump vegans along with pictures of the skinny ones.
So, that expectation was out the window, until I stepped on the scale this morning and it read 176.0. On Sunday, just 4 days ago, my weight was 184.4.
I've been eating about 2000 calories a day and exercising 1 to 2 hours while drinking about 3-4 liters of water daily. I haven't felt deprived at all. Last night I even had a beer. Tonight my wife made an amazing vegan enchilada dish. My comment was that if I new vegan dishes could be this good, I could have gone vegan long a go. Seriously, they were the best enchiladas I've ever had.
I'll keep you posted on my results, but already I feel really good. I feel like I have more energy and just better in general. Extra weight loss is just an added bonus.
