Day four was mostly uneventful. My headache passed, and physically I felt pretty much the same I felt prior to starting this experiment. I did notice that at moments I felt more clear-headed, and when writing was able to formulate my sentences a bit faster.
I ate 100% vegan today.
Breakfast:
1 cup Special K, 1/2 cup soy [...]

Is Eating Pork Bad For You?

December 2, 2009

Taken from http://www.themodernreligion.com/misc/hh/pork.html:
Bad Effects of Pork Consumption
Pig’s bodies contain many toxins, worms and latent diseases.

Healthy Eating Day 3

December 2, 2009

A few people that I’ve told about my new eating habits have commented that a human being is supposed to eat everything (meat, dairy, etc.), but in moderation.

Healthy Eating Day 1

November 30, 2009

A few weeks ago I started contemplating the idea of becoming a vegan. Not for moral or ethical reasons, but simply because I wanted to be healthier. I stopped eating red meat two months ago, and yesterday I dropped dairy and eggs from my diet. I currently consume chicken and fish, but will be removing [...]

Back in South Africa!

September 15, 2009

We’re home! We left Canada at around 11am on Sunday and just arrived in South Africa about an hour ago. There was a medical emergency on our first flight and we missed our connection in Amsterdam by about 15 minutes. If you’ve ever been to the Amsterdam airport, I’m sure you know how large it [...]

Back in Canada!

September 3, 2009

It feels great to be back in Canada! I didn’t sleep at all on the plane and was awake for about 46 hours in total. The 11 hour flight from Jo-Burg to Amsterdam was absolute torture. I was extremely uncomfortable, both physically & mentally, and had a pretty bad headache for the majority of the [...]
