Lets start from the very begining

This weeks starts my first of my 6 week experiment going Vegan.

So what is Vegan?  

it is a diet where I dont eat any animal based products like meat, milk, or eggs.

Why am I doing this?

So because my major is in Exercise and Wellness I have a couple classes that require a diet change.   I also am doing a research project on the effects of a vegan diet on type 2 diabetes so I decided to try the diet myself.

The point of this blog is to make this change fun and to maybe encourage a few others to eat a little bit healthier.   So i will write about the recipies I try as well as the physical affects I can feel from starting the diet.

Starting Point:

123 lbs at 5'2" which is a BMI of 22.5     which is a normal healthy BMI
