I never experienced eating a vegan lifestyle but I once felt that it was important to have one meatless meal/week I thought that I was doing my and my family's health a favor. I never ate the way I truly wanted to until I began Atkins. I do feel good, refreshed after eating a meal of steak, seasoned mashed cauliflower and mustard greens. We have been taught to fear what is good for us and gobble down foods that aren't. Eating is 90% mental. If it weren't 90% mental eating would be so much easier on us humans.

By the way.... I love your story thanks for sharing.
