Kind Lifer Christine recently shared how much better she feels after switching to a kind diet.

"I started my kind journey February 16th of this year. I woke up that morning to a show talking about The Kind Diet, so I was curious. I went to the bookstore and picked it up and started reading it in the car; I went cold turkey and didn't look back.

It has been eight months. I went from 212 pounds to 179. Thirty-three pounds gone and still losing. I feel so much better! All my bad feelings and ailments have gone away. I have more energy. My husband is very supportive. We recently went to a screening of Forks over Knives, and that convinced my husband to take the plunge. Now he is taking the journey with me.

Also, my 17 year-old daughter started and is now baking vegan goods. They are so delish! A lot from your book. My 11 year old is now a vegi too. My boys are a no go, but I am working on it! I am even getting a vegan tattoo. I'm so excited!!!"

Yay, Christine! Keep us updated on your kind journey.

If any of you kind lifers have a success story you'd like to share, private message me or post a note to your profile and 'like' it. I may feature you on the homepage of The Kind Life!

      YAY CHRISTINE!!!! Way to Go--Don't Stop! I agree that FORKS OVER KNIVES is an outstanding presentation--have watched the DVD probably 15 times. Also, try FOOD MATTERS (2008),,,,another most-excellent documentary! Have also watched it over a dozen times.



      Eve Allease;


      Yes, getting back "into" smaller sizes is a hoot, isn't it! I went down from a 38" waist to a 32" waist/pant-size. Unfortunately, just a few months earlier, I had thrown away--at long last--several pair of new & nearly new size 34s & 32s I thought I'd NEVER ever fit in again. Happily, I was wrong! You Rock, Christine.

      I really love success stories...they are so inspirational. I also appreciate how each person learning about and living this way of life helps to spread the word to more and more people about the benefits of a plant based life.

      12 weeks of non processed, whole, organic vegan foods and I am very close to my pre-mommy weight. Never thought I'd wear my size 2's again. I feel great in so many aspects of my being! Compassionate living gives back in so many ways. Love, Light, and Peace! - Eve
