Oh, I forgot to report here. Turns out, they didn’t really push much to go veg. The push was more toward whole foods; I continued to eat a good amount of meat.
For instance, one breakfast I made was a cheese omelet with sausage links. It was perfect for the program because the eggs were laid by my free-range pet hens, the feta cheese was made from goat milk hand squeezed from my sister’s goats and made in her kitchen sink, and I made the sausage links from beaver meat that I hunted on the Delta with my bow and arrow and stuffed into casings from my sister’s sheep.
Results:
1. Changing to mostly whole foods, eliminating all fast food, and reducing the amount of fatty meats (sausage, bacon, hot dogs, etc,), in addition to regular exercise, helped me to lose an additional 14 pounds, 2 inches off my waist, and 53 points off my cholesterol.
2. I began a daily yoga practice: Classes are 75 minutes each. I started with one each day, but quickly moved to two/day.
