Hi my name is Jamie Rain. I bought the Kind diet for myself as a birthday present. I am not vegan, but I am seriously considering it. I'm a little bit afarid that I wil not be able to give up cheese... but we shall see. I have not eaten any meat for years, so I guess this is the logical step. I'm a bit nervous, but excited as well. My long time boyfriend is not a veggie... but he is thinking about making the leap... so here is for a healtier happier life and planet.

Hi! I'm Annaliese and I've been a vegetarian for 8 years, a vegan for... a week! For the last five years, I've had no energy. Sluggish all the time, fall asleep several times a day during random tasks, etc. Yesterday, for the first time in FIVE YEARS, I felt awake! When I became a vegetarian, I became less healthy. I decided to stick with it because I was veg for ethical reasons. I thought I'd feel that way my whole life-- unhealthy. Turns out, it wasn't the veg diet that was hurting me (though I know I used to eat way too many veg processed foods!)-- it was the dairy I was still allowing into my life! Now, I'm working to regain my health. I'm now vegan, but I know I need to be healthier about my vegan choices, and The Kind Diet is helping me with that. (I read it in its entirety yesterday!) I'm going grocery shopping today with Alicia's simple meal reminder in mind: 1/4 grain, 1/4 protein, 1/2 veg. And I'm going to try to get as many veggies as possible that are native to my area, and no nightshades! I hope to be primarily Superhero by the end of the year. :)

Oh, and I'm blessed enough to have a significant other who is doing this with me. He's been vegetarian for 20 years, but the cheese has been difficult for him to kick. We've been phasing it out for a year for his cholesterol, anyway, but this is the first time we've eliminated it entirely.

Thanks for reading, and I'm sorry for posting something so long! I'm just sooo excited!

Hi everyone, I am knew at this. The vegan diet. I decided this would be a perfect diet for me because if health reason. Reading some of your responses regarding why your vegan, my reason doesn't seem as passionate. I am 40 years, married have a daughter who is a sophmore in college and twin boys who are seven years old. At the beginning of the summer I went to the doctor and had a physical, the doctor pretty much told me if I didn't start changing my lifestyle I would pretty much be dead by next summer. I went to the library and found Alicia's book "The Kind Diet" and started reading about the different possibilities the Kind Diet could change my life. I have been on it for about 2 weeks. I have more energy, my digestive system has been working properly. I just feel so much better... I wanted to thank Alicia in writing this book this is the longest I have stuck to any diet. I started walking about six weeks ago. I feel I have the energy to go and not question myself about going.

I went out with some friends this past weekend and I was so proud of myself because I didn't even cheat..... Thanks again........
