Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I just wanted to share this with people. I've long had issues with high cholesterol and bad sugar levels. My new doctor and I are going to see if we can get me off some of the meds after the bloodwork results I got today. I've been vegan for about 10 months now (with the very rare slip, but I climb right back on the wagon and vow to do better). My cholesterol and sugar levels are outstanding as of today! I am 100% sure that it is the vegan diet. I am SOOOO happy! I started my vegan journey because I just don't want to contribute to the suffering of animals, but the health benefits are amazing! I now have an incredibly good response for the nay-sayers......I am so happy! Now to lose the weight that needs to be lost (for some reason, that isn't coming off as quickly as I would like, but Rome wasn't built in a day - it's coming along slowly which is better than not at all).

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Congratulations Missie!!!! You have outstanding news!!! I'm with you on the weight thing, though! Whenever someone questions me about "What is there to eat?", I'm always like, do I look like I don't eat?? I think my issue is too much fruit vs veggies. I would never go back to eating animal products, but, man, I'd like to be thinner!Vicky "Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to a man.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Thats wonderful news. My other half is vegan too and the doctor was amazed at his cholesterol levels given health issues and couldn't understand why until my husband mentioned he was vegan.Alicia On 24 February 2010 19:59, damiensmom <damiensmom1995 wrote: Congratulations Missie!!!!
