hey vb!
things have been rocketing along . i feel awesome .its brilliant. but today, an interesting conversation with my friend's doctor left me all indecisive again.
brief rundown of mental catastrophe
:
im vegetarian for nonhealth related reasons, but health is certainly a plus.
im as vegan as possible at the moment predominantly for health reasons (because 'happy dairy' is everywhere here. so as open as i may be for criticism, the animal rights issues to do with dairy is not SO much of a problem..for now).
as any vegan will find (i think), grains become a real staple, because you've gotta get those calories from somewhere. grains and 'good fats' are pretty much where its at for me. because i try to avoid sugar (although lately ive been less rigid).
anyway..
so ive got it going, not counting calories, eating what i want, some 'bad stuff' but all whats ok in my view (ie. 'bad stuff' includes sugar..not meat or anything) and am not too phased about all the conflicting views on the most health effective lifestyles because i pretty much figured if i go with wholefood..im ok.
BUT NO..apparently not. APPARENTLY grains..do very bad things . particularly wheat. even wholewheat. and apparently healthwise you're better off with dairy and less grains. i...oh i can't even start explain because i literally panic. because i dont know what to do. especially coz ive found my happy situation, and i don't know if im supposed to change it or what.
i..oh i dont know. head reeling. and i didn't miss that at all
...
what is the lesser of all these evils then? dairy? grains? sugar? im so confused all over again. seriously. please..please post. because i want to do whats right. minor deviations are fun..but on the whole i want my diet to be GOOD. sigh
