How Do You Feel?

Great! I have been on Dr. Esselstyn's plant based regimen for 2.5 weeks as of today and I feel incredible. I am able to categorize these improvements into 4 areas.

Cravings
This is probably the most shocking to me. I love cheese in a "why don't you marry it?" kind of way. I never thought I could go a single meal without it. But not only do I not miss it, it doesn't even cross my mind. I don't think about cheating at all. If I am extra hungry I'll have some grape nuts or some figs and I am fine. The sweetness in fruit tastes 1000 times sweeter when you no longer have animal proteins and oils mucking up your taste buds  and the dairy stuffing up your nose.

Digestion
Everything is smooth and easy. No more noises, grumbles or anything! It turns out gas is not normal at all. Who knew? 

Mental Clarity
I wake up in 5 minutes. Now, I did quit caffeine 5 months ago. But it was still taking me about a half hour to wake up. Now, I pop out of bed and I am fully functioning in moments. I have the time and energy to do things like start a blog no one ever reads.

Emotional State
This is a personal note. I had struggled mightily with depression and emotional issues my whole life, and had recently won some major victories in that battle. The love of Christ being the best cure. I also gave up caffeine which helped a lot. This, though, is a amazing. I am fine. Relaxed and calm with no anxiety or upset. I actually do feel fantastic. I cannot begin to speculate on how animal proteins cause or contribute to emotional stress but if the question is "How do you feel?", the answer is , "Great!"

Here are Richard Wright and Pink Floyd asking "How do you feel"?
Kind of Ironic that my favorite Pink Floyd album has a cow on the front...
