I was vegan for about four years until the beginning of this year, when I began eating wild caught fish, local organic eggs and raw goat cheese. This helped me feel a lot more grounded, although I do think that being vegan for several years helped me get rid of some low-level food allergies, and I lost a bunch of weight which was great. I think the best thing is to not be too dogmatic with your diet and listen to your body. Its hard to explain but one day I just realized I really wanted to eat fish and I felt OK with it. I think sustainable/local food is ethically "GREAT", although I still do not eat mammals or cow dairy.

Raw is great, as much as possible, but I found that I could not stick with 100% raw... maybe if I had a dehydrator and could afford a bunch of exotic dried fruits and super nuts etc, and didn't have to work. But just conscientiously trying to eat something raw along with any cooked food you eat is a good habit. I just got into making kimchi, it is GREAT, there are a bunch of recipes online.

Interesting thing I noticed. When my girlfriend was vegan, we would drive by fields of cows and she would always complain about how gross and what a waste of space. Now since she went back to ovo-veg she says she thinks cows are cute and enjoys seeing them nearby. Neither of us eat beef and of course there are many negative things involved in cattle farming that deserve to be changed, but her ATTITUDE is a lot more positive now.

Oh yeah, I think REBOUNDING is great too. Also free pilates videos on youtube. Drink aloe vera juice.
