Vegan Newbie!!!?!
Vegan Newbie!!!?
I just became a vegan two days ago. I went two the store 3 days ago and bought a bunch of healthy vegan foods and the next day I just started eating it and quit eating meat that easy. The first day I felt a little weird and tired but the next day I felt great. I feel like the energizer bunny. I noticed my skin color evened out to a color probably a shade darker than when I ate meat and the little bit of acne I have on my face is basically gone!!! I just wanted to know what good things happened to you guys when you became vegans/vegies?

well, I think if you are doing a lot of exercise that the difference will be much more highly noticeable. I was doing very stringent bicycle racing (plus other sports) at the time and immediately noticed better performance, better recovery time, acne went away, needed less sleep, felt very energetic -- almost bouncing off the walls energetic, my mind felt like a cloud that I didn't know was there was lifted from my brain and my thoughts were reeling like mad. I think if I wasn't doing such a high level of exercise, the difference may have taken months or even years. But when doing bicycle racing, basically I could notice the difference between one meal and the next and it's affects on my next ride. In the long run, as I've been vegan since around 1990, I'm ageing much more slowly than others my age. Plus, hey, I almost forgot, I haven't been sick since... well, in a period of 17 years I've had a few drooly noses, and a couple fevers due to cold (doing graveyard shift at that time... very hard on the body). When I did get a cold, it lasted a day or two while everyone else weeks to recover. I found that being in better health that germs are just not compatible with me (hence Bechamp.org is smart and Pasteur is an idiot), therefore I do not "catch" sicknesses. I haven't developed any sicknesses either. My best friend, on the other hand, is always sick... on and off on and off, sick, so is his son. They don't eat well at all.

Welcome to the club. You've brought back some happy memories from a little over 6 years ago when I became vegan. Thank you!
I remember having tons of energy, feeling top of the world, almost invincible, like a kid again.
And I too can remember having my skin clear up like my pigmentation improving and increased elasticity and smoother, more naturally moisturised skin.
My digestive system was the greatest improvement though, in every respect from my tounge to my anus, from the flow rate to consistency to painfree action. No heartburn anymore, no flegm anymore, no indigestion anymore, no diarhorrea anymore, and a VERY wide variety of other benefits, little wins that add up to a big win for me, all the animals' lives I've saved, the environment, etc, etc.
"If everyone wins, why not try it?" That's what I asked myself when I turned, changed, adapted. And I keep asking myself that quetion EVERY DAY! I tried it again today, and it was a very good day. I reckon I might try it again tomorrow ... what do you reckon?
I just want to say congratulations on going Vegan!
