Kind lifer Melissa just shared her story about how her kind commitment cleared her head- check out her story:
I wanted to say thanks for writing a very user friendly introduction to a plant-based diet. I’ve been veg off and on since college (I’m 39 now) and have to say that I do best on a mostly plant-based diet. I am so grateful for picking up your book because there are so many dog-eared pages. Namely, the Lentil Stew and Peanut Butter Cups!!! My coworkers laugh at me for bringing in Lentil Stew nearly every day, it’s that good.
Last Summer (2011), I experienced flare-ups with migraine headaches (suffered in childhood and waned in 20s and mostly 30s). From scares of MS to who-knows-what, I decided to really evaluate my diet once again. I’ve never really been much of a meat eater save for a good NC BBQ (I live in Boston and that’s hard to come by) but I’ve always loved cheese. After some data trending, I discovered that cheese is a migraine trigger for me. So I’ve cut that out and I am doing so much better!
Like I mentioned, cheese was a huge stumbling block for me in considering a 100% plant-based diet. But now that I know that it is a problem for me, I am more ready to transition fully: IT’S NOT THAT BAD. 🙂
A life without cheese is still very much worth living. Besides, peanut butter is so much better!!
Anyway, just thought I would let you know that you’re efforts are not unheard and I really love all the recipes I’ve tried in your book. They’re truly amazing and delicious. My book is nearly destroyed!
Best to you and your family in 2012.
Melissa
