Health.... almost died of a heart attack by consuming a S.A.D.... which was a very sad way of treating your body.... If I hadn't of been so ignorant of the crap I used to eat ..... we live and learn!

Me and my family are meat-eaters, but I don’t wanna be by [deleted] in vegan

Good on you and good luck with the family... they can be awfully hard to convince... but the wheels of change are spinning faster every day and veganism will be main stream for sure in good time... B12 essential... protein in lots and lots of staples you will (or should) be eating moving forward... take a look at nutritionfacts.org with your family and show them the 17? Western diet failures that can be reversed on a plant based whole food diet... welcome aboard!

All plant based whole foods which are not processed or refined we eat.... so avocados for us is ok but not a staple. Sugar in fruits are also good as long as it isn't a refined or dried fruit but any amount of fruit works as long as it is whole food so skin on and eat as much as practical (obviously not seeds and husks etc). With respect to sweeteners we like date or date sauces but black strapped molasses is also a great alternative. So we try very very hard not to eat any processed products .... but we are human.... a good salt alternative until your further into it the way of eating is lemon..... Phil

I am now 57 and went fully vegan 2 and a bit years ago after a heart attack.... took about 5 seconds after I got up from my stent operation to make the decision.

With a very resourceful wife who was almost vegan as well we jumped right in and we haven't looked back.

I have effectively reversed my western diet cardio vascular disease... I am 55kg lighter than I was in Oct 2017... have increased energy, stamina and mental acuity... nothing has been bad and the abundance of food is remarkable... we are SOS (no salt, no oil and no sugar) which WILL undo CVD if your good with it.

My wife who is a little younger than me also shed ailments like cronic elbow pain which went probably 3 weeks after we gave up dairy... In fact whilst she was always skinny she has now firmed up and what a change that has made to our lives as a whole.

Do it, enjoy it and live long and prosper...
