My wife went veggies and fruit kind of only, beginning of the second week in August. She saw a TV program on the meat and poultry food industry and was disgusted by it and decided that was enough. She has had some sweet now and then — once a week cup of coffee, after dinner piece of chocolate — and maybe some pasta twice a month, flour something maybe twice a week... So not totally veggies and fruit... But I'd say 90% for sure.
She's lost, and kept off, 13 lbs since, and just feels all-round better. No exercise, as she doesn't go to the gym, and says it was too hot to walk outside. But now with cooler weather she's going to kick in with more exercise, including riding. I'm interested to see how the weight loss goes with the addition of regular exercise. She used to do CG classes three times a week and just found she couldn't lose weight. And she worked really hard in the classes. I thought it was because the exercises she was doing was building muscle, which kind of negated any weight lose. So I'm interested to see what consistent walking and riding will do with the changed eating program.
