Vegan-Almost


So I have had adult acne issues for a long time now and in the ever increasing desire for beautiful skin I am trying another "diet" method to cleanse my skin. Since last August, (I cannot believe it has been a year already) I have stopped eating white flour and refined sugar. (this is not to say that I have not eaten them occasionally) (does a box of oreo cookies count?) but in my every day diet I try to avoid them all together.

I also gave up dairy, I stopped eating cheese last summer, having realised that it was causing the majority of my acne, (a weekend of triple creme brie is not good for my face) so giving up milk was not that hard.

Giving up meat will be difficult. I love a good steak. All other meat will not be that hard. But fish, that will be tough.

I am going to do it gradually and incorporate some good vegan food into my diet. I will not truely be a vegan because I cannot go without fruit!

Tonight I am making quinoa and collard greens. I did not cook them together, just eating them together. I have wanted to do collard greens for a long time and finally got the courage to cook them. Should be yummy. I will let you know.

My family is having steak, corn on the cob, grilled peppers and salad.

Eat good food!
