Vegan Experiment Kickoff

My sister and I have become somewhat addicted to trying new eating plans. She went high-protein, no carbs for a few months last year based on a recommendation from her doctor for weight loss - I tagged along for the ride. She read The Biggest Loser 30 Day Kickstart book right before one of my visits home and sure enough, some of the recipes looked good so we tried that too. Now she just read this one: 21-Day Weight Loss Kickstart: Boost Metabolism, Lower Cholesterol, and Dramatically Improve Your Health and guess what? We're going vegan.

You know what I just realized, typing that paragraph? These are all her idea. WTF?

You'd think, with all these diet and food plans, that we're both overweight and looking for the magic bullet. Not the case. We're both normal weight (if a few pounds above where we'd like to be) and fairly active. We run, we lift weights, we do yoga. But we're both slightly abnormally interested in food, nutrition, being fit, and being healthy in what is often an unhealthy world.

So the only thing better than trying a new food plan is to also write about it. Here we go, three weeks of vegan eating!
