Vegan Transformation

Hi Everyone!

It’s been a really long time since I’ve posted, but I went “fully vegan” in February 2018 and I wanted to talk to ya’ll a little bit about it.

For those of you who know me, in college I designed a diet based on cultivating your gut flora, and giving your body the vitamins and minerals it needs to function. I tested it out on 3 individuals whose main goal was weight loss. It was a low protein/fat, carb heavy diet.

All clients lost 25 lbs in 3 weeks, and one client, who took a blood panel before and after, showed significant improvement.

January of 2014 I was very sick. My health complications continued until around June of 2017. What changed?

Well: I started to eat 1-3 vegan meals throughout the week, and I put myself on a modified version of the diet I had designed. I felt so much better.

After my health improved in June, I then decided to go even further and start a meal plan with Jakd Vegans (JD and Amy-Kate). I made sure to ween myself off meat completely before I started. They were so helpful in introducing me to the vegan lifestyle. After completing my 8 week meal plan, they gave me instructions to go even further. Once my journey was complete, I had lost a total of 35 lbs.

I have been vegan since my last post, so cookingwithsoli will now be a vegan blog. I will still post omnivorous treats from time to time that I make for my loved ones, but for the most part, this blog will now encompass my new lifestyle,

Thanks for reading about my journey.

I look forward to cooking for all of you!
