So now lets talk about food. The biggest thing for me was to focus on cutting out the junk. Food needs to be nutritious not just something for the sake of eating...that doesn't work. I did not focus on what I like I just wanted a change. At first I did mock meat.. I don't recommend that because they have a lot of soy and sodium. However it is a place where many people like myself start because that is all part of the previous programming. I suggest you start here:

Quinoa this is one source of protein. Don't worry about protein...you will get it in a different way now...ignore all the other things you have heard.. you don't need a dead animal to survive- look at all the people in India that grow up Vegetarians from birth.

Read the 5 vegan superfood article above to see why Quinoa and Flaxseed are so important in my diet.
Elimination: So far you have stopped eating butter, margarine, drinking milk, you are working on eliminating cheese and yogurt....next...no fast food with meat or animal products.
