Vegan Food Keeps Me Cool & Calm

For some reason, when I eat at least 95% vegan on any given day, I can keep my air conditioning at a higher temp and tolerate heat MUCH better than when I eat meat and/or animal products. As a matter of fact, when I was eating foods like chicken, cottage cheese and yogurt (for a few days) last week, my face would become flushed for no apparent reason at random times during the day and evening. I’ve realized that my body really does not like animal products anymore. Two nights during that short ‘high-protein’ experiment I also had what felt like panic attacks when trying to get to sleep. Not good.

So anyway, moving on… yesterday I ate about 98% vegan. At one point I opened up one of the Arctic Zero ice-creams I’d bought the other day and had a spoonful, forgetting it was made from whey. Oops. I had a spoonful and nearly gagged, it turns out I do not like the Cookies N Cream flavor because it tastes like pure chemicals, so I ended up throwing it out.

Anyway, I intend to do the same today, stick to plant foods and such.

My metaphysics class last night was amazing as usual, and I didn’t get home until almost midnight. I had one of these after getting home:

Annie Chuns Sesame Seaweed Snacks

This morning I woke up with a hankering for flax oatmeal, so that is what I had, along with a yummy organic peach:

As you can tell, I love Nature’s Path cereals and oatmeal, most of them (if not all) are vegan, natural and delicious.

Anyway, it’s Friday… TGIF!!

By the way, a good friend and I started a brand new website/forum. Right now it’s mostly empty (because it’s brand new). So if you are even remotely interested in spiritual stuff, head over there and sign up and start chatting! http://wearevaluable.com/forum/forum.php.

Chocolate Overload & Snacks

Today I was craving some extra chocolate (I won’t get into details about why, but I’m sure the ladies out there can figure it out!) so I had some of this:

Delicious, and vegan of course!

These are raw vegan, and I had a chocolate raw almond butter flavored one. I only ate about 1/3rd of it though because it was super-rich and filling.

Along with that, I had a raw pumpkin seed/brazil nut butter & honey sandwich on low sodium Ezekial bread, an organic Braeburn apple (that was unfortunately mushy), a lemon flavored soy yogurt, and one of the hemp ice-cream bars I bought yesterday.

Will update more later, as I’m leaving here shortly to pick up a classmate and head to my metaphysics class!
