Vegan Chronicles - The No, No List

So as I mentioned in my last vegan chronicle; the vegan diet consist of NO meat, NO fish, NO dairy products and NO eggs. This vegan diet sounds brutal to some but the premise is simple. If you give up animal products, fast food, and processed food then eat a whole, natural vegan diet, you'll be happier, healthier, more energized -- and skinny. Or so goes the forum discussions, but then again I am trying to remember the last time I saw an obese vegan! I believe that to be an oxymoron.
Just turn a negative into a positive!
The biggest NO of all; is a big one. This is one thing; that this lifestyle by all accounts agree on. Every discussion page that I have been to says the same thing.  There's NO calorie counting to worry about with this vegan diet regimen. Yes, yes, yes I said it; NO - calorie - counting. Yoohoo! This is me doing a happy dance! I really like this “NO”!  I am going to turn this list of negatives into positives and this one is first on my list. So I am off in vegan land and I am NO longer counting calories. I am searching out new recipes, converting old recipes and discovering fresh food items to compliment my vegan lifestyle. Every now and again, I can been found doing the happy dance. This is day twelve of the vegan journey and I am glad for you to come along.
