However, it's been damn difficult to eat whole foods on this trip without a kitchen and doubling our grocery budget, so perhaps if you extend it a bit, I will join you when I return. In the mean time. KUDOS. S<br /><br />ounds like it's going well. I will add, I am so surprised by those people just now watching Forks over Knives who never read the China Study or had even heard of it. Surprised because I think it's interesting how some things are marketed in our society, not because books/movies are better/worse.

I really, really LOVE cheese, but I have no portion control. So many people who are overweight have a hard time with sugary things, whereas I personally don't really crave sugar- savory things like cheese, dairy, bread on the other hand are staples, or have been. I eat far to much bread, even now, but I have switched to the sprouted grain bread and am really enjoying it. Thanks for the support!

If you need any ideas let me know- I'm coming up with some fun recipes. Do you guys like curry? I find I never miss meat in curry! <br />Yes, Kyle is pretty amazing haha (at times;)- he was a true meat and potatoes guy until he met me haha. We were talking with an old friend of his and telling her we are going veggie for a month and she just about fell over, pointed at kyle and said "wow you're going veggie?". Although, when Kyle isn't on board I find myself completely lacking in will power. It's soooo much harder as a couple. So much harder. <br />You guys have an amazing relationship, and we both know Roland will do what he can to make you, his everything, happy. I would just try to take the small changes and be really encouraging. Trust me, Kyle and I have battles about food a lot, its just not easy with two minds. <br />Much love for you guys- extra smooches for kyle will be given.

I've been using stevia liquid as a replacement, because it's just a leaf and seems pretty natural but I detest the aftertaste. I think I may use a little honey once in a while after this initial month and shall most likely re-introduce yogurt.<br /><br />So excited you are joining my challenge, are you on Facebook? If so join us there (link at top) and it will be easy to give us updates! I hope you are enjoying your challenge so far. I have dates and bananas for sweetener- working very well! <br /><br />Thank yous for sharing, LindsayLindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16690091554153831460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-67574124514987146742012-07-03T08:40:41.708-07:002012-07-03T08:40:41.708-07:00Hey TDC- everyday this week I've woken up feel...Hey TDC- everyday this week I've woken up feeling crappy and sick- easy to make changes when you are reminded of how unwell you feel!

I know that my diet is definitely my downfall. Josh and I work so hard to live a life that is not rooted in convenience. Though it has not always been the case, we fail epically in how we eat. I cant go dairy-free. I love cheese and yogurt too much :) But I'm going to look at how I can join you in your July challenge in a way that works for me. Maybe I'll cut out flour. Oof. You've got me thinking...

Meat and dairy...Good luck with your July challenge. Meat and dairy are no problem. My partner and I have been vegetarian since '93 and vegan since 2000. But I don't know how I could ever get rid of sugar. I am a chocoholic (thought I only eat the dark variety) and love, love, love baked sweets! I can hardly go a day wihout some kind of cookie, muffin or cake... I've even gotten pretty good at baking vegan (and now gluten-free) cookies. And in desperation, when I have no access to chocolate or cookies, I've resorted to making what we call pmc--poor man's chocolate--a quick concoction of cocoa, sugar, peanut butter, soy milk and vanilla. So getting rid of sugar would be tough for me, though I know I should cut back.

Do you get your protein from the beans?<br /><br />I am not as driven as you are, but staying here with our friend waiting (extremely impatiently for my part) for apartment paperwork to go through has led to us indulging way too much. His mom makes all kinds of baked goodies, and his dad is addicted to Dairy Queen! So, I WILL commit to shore up my willpower and just say NO to ice-cream, cookies, and all the other things I know I do not need. Hows that? No reason why I should be waiting for an empty apartment kitchen to make better choices now.<br /><br />I agree with Tricia!Red-Eyed Tree Froggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254685243910741046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-28834524659632746342012-06-29T11:10:42.228-07:002012-06-29T11:10:42.228-07:00Lindsay My Dear, I will happily join you in your 3...Lindsay My Dear, I will happily join you in your 30days of Veggie goodness.

You continue to amaze me. Congrats on yo...Lindsay-<br />You continue to amaze me. Congrats on your July goal! As I was reading your blog today I was thinking about all the articles you have shared on facebook and articles I am reading in The Nation about meatless diets and I finally talked Roland into doing a meatless day once a week. You know him, so you know what a big deal that is!<br />I wanted to comment how lucky you are to have Kyle- such a supporting husband! When I think about changing my lifestyle one major road block is the lifestyle that Roland and I built together doesn't really fit with the healthy lifestyle I would love to see. It seems incredibly daunting to cut out the foods and drinks and lack of exercise that has built our happy, rotund bottoms! I use Roland as an excuse but it does make it more difficult to change.<br />I am starting small: I have a garden and we get organic local produce delivered to our home once every two weeks. We are doing a meatless day once a week (but Roland thinks that means he eats parmesain egg noodles and tomato slices- I would like to eat something more complex- but he is very hard to get to try new things that he assumes is "hipster" or "hippie"- although by some standards he would fit under both catagories!) We end up eating different things and usually then at different times which saddens me because our dinners together on the back porch are some of my favorite parts of the day.<br />I am venting here- really what I wanted to say is CONGRATS again and give Kyle a extra smooch for being the kind of man he is and taking the journey with you!<br /><br />Tricia DuffinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-46004120924968214402012-06-29T06:06:59.155-07:002012-06-29T06:06:59.155-07:00Hi Lindsay,
Though you don't know it, you hav...Hi Lindsay,<br /><br />Though you don't know it, you have helped me a lot over the last few weeks: your blog made me decide to get the Yuba Mundo instead of another bike and you gave me the final push to make the leap to buy a vitamix. I am very glad that I did both instead of messing around with half-measure mixers and bikes which can never be as comfy as the Mundo:)<br /><br />I like to think I eat healthy, but my weakness is brown sugar - and to go with it - low fat fresh cheese - a sort of thick yoghurt. I also eat fish and eggs. <br /><br />As a result I do not feel at all energetic and haven't been to the gym for weeks and haven't even ridden my bike for a few days.<br /><br />I missed the 30 day bike challenge - I only discovered your blog a few week ago - so I've decided to join you in the 30 day challenge. The brown sugar goes in the garbage! I'll have to get my sweetness from bananas and other fruits.<br /><br />So go for it!<br /><br />Michael in BrusselsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118856110075405434.post-832354499051681112012-06-28T14:18:12.283-07:002012-06-28T14:18:12.283-07:00WOw I envy your drive,my friend!!!

Despite that I'm nowhere near a nutricional role model,(I know I mispelt that,didn't I? :p),I know the benefits you will reap from yoru plans,aside from the riding/walking daily.
