LMNgetfit Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hello- I've been vegan for about 11 months after reading The China Study and watching Food, Inc. A co-worker of mine recommended the above and for me, making the conversion to plant based wasn't too difficult as I was already gluten free and dairy free (I've suffered for YEARS with IBS). I'm used to adjusting my food options continuously. I've been an active person since high school - I'm 36 now. After needing to alter my workout routine due to boredom, I've recently trained and completed my 1st Sprint Distance triathlon and I admit, I'm hooked! My body enjoys the cross-training required to compete! So I've set a few goals for upcoming triathlons starting in May. Rather than just "finish" the event, I would like to post a competitive time! I'm interested in shaping my body into a lean, performing machine.... I've decided my nutrition needs a tune up!!! I'm going to work on eating more fruits and veggies and LESS processed vegan, gluten free sweets (MY WEAKNESS!). I look forward to the community board and learning a few new things to help me achieve my goals! Thanks ahead of time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kareno Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hi! Welcome to the VBB forum! Congratulations on your transition to a vegan diet. It's the best decision ever! Although, I can totally relate to you about the processed vegan treats. I'm trying to overcome that weakness, as well. Good luck to you on your triathalon goals! Happy New Year,Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
