It’s crazy to think that I’m already done with 3 weeks of not touching a food product that contains any trace of animal products. I only have one more week on the trial, then we get to find out if I’m actually going to eat this way from now on. If you haven’t been reading up on the study you can start from the beginning.



The third week for my study has been a great week with great improvements. My appearance has changed quite a bit in the week and a fat loss percentage has also dropped since last week which hasn’t happened in over 4 months. This week I also finished listening to “The China Study” which has been one of the major motivations for this health study. Overall this has been a great week and I’ve been receiving news that readers are beginning to try out the diet themselves which is a great encouragement and motivation to keep posting other articles regarding vegetarian diets and health in general.

I have noticed an increase in my attitude and energy levels this past week over the other two. I don’t know if this is related to the diet or not, but I have also felt a great boost in self confidence and assurance with the way I look this week with the improvements I’m slowly noticing. Like everyone else I go into slow times of change in my appearance and meeting my goals which can be very discouraging. I’ve had quite a dry spell as of late with meeting my goal, but this past week was a great encouragement and has helped me push harder in the gym and realize that each day I’m getting closer to my goals.

In the coming weeks I’m going to be going over some basic knowledge of workouts and weightloss. Things I thought were common knowledge apparently aren’t, so I’ve decided to address these issues. Working out in the gym lately I have noticed people (especially the women) strangely contorting their body thinking they are doing an exercise when in reality they are just moving very strange. Just because you saw a short clip of a yoga session does not mean that you should go to the gym and try random poses saying that you are doing yoga.

A quick answer to a question I keep getting asked. I’ve been asked what size pant I wear since my actual waist size is 31 and if I wear a 32in waist in my pants. Actually, I wear 29 to 30in waist pants. Keep in mind that in the mens department of most any store you will not find a 29in waist. Instead of I have to get a 31-32 generally and buy belts to keep my pants on. If I didn’t own belts and wear them all the time my pants would fall off my body.
