I passed the 30 day mark, but I’m still going 30 more. I have not had any more meat. I’ve incorporated some unsalted chicken broth, and a daily square of dark chocolate. Also the occasional bite of a really good cheese (raw, goat or sheep base).
Today I’ve completed a full 10 days of every-other-day on 5mg steroid. Here goes the big jump to totally stopping. My husband keeps checking my eye and declares it looks great. I won’t see the ophthalmologist until February’s end. But I can start the meds back if theres redness or pain.
I certainly feel good, especially having shed the extra weight. My body has changed too. Old cellulite is disappearing and my thighs are thinning even though I’m back to the same weight I’ve been for years. I think this plant-based diet is actually utilizing my fat stores… Can you hear the Hallelujahs from my house?!
After blogging about this adventure, some terrific recipes and links to websites have come my way. There are a lot of gluten-free and vegan folks out there. Thank you for sharing your stuff with me. I’m learning a lot.
