Newbie Vegans

As of January 1, 2011, we will be embarking on a vegan adventure courtesy of the 21 Day Vegan Kickstart Program. It's a 21 day program that introduces you to the benefits of the vegan diet.

The program claims that:

"Low-fat vegan—plant-based—diets are the easiest way to trim excess weight, prevent diabetes, cut cholesterol, lower blood pressure, prevent and reverse heart disease, and reduce cancer risk. They even trim our carbon footprint."

Essentially, the program says you'll feel better if you eat a plant-based diet.

Being healthy is just one of many reasons people adopt a vegan diet, but this site isn't about why we're doing this. The decision to become vegan or to try a vegan diet is a personal decision based on your own beliefs. Just like we're not going to tell our spouses animal products aren't allowed in the house, we're not going to tell you why you should become a vegan. If you're interested in the various reasons why people become vegan you can check out sites like vegan.org for more information, but the decision and the reasoning behind it is up to you.

If we're not spouting rhetoric about why you should become a vegan, what are we going to write about? The answer is simple. We're newbies to the world of vegan goodness and we want to chart our journey for you. We'll share recipes, sites, and information on what we're eating and how we're feeling. We'll give you our honest opinions about what it's like for us to become vegan...from the beginning.
