Found enough reasons to go in favor of such a diet. Other than health such a vegan diet also supports environment and ethics helping in the creation of a caring world.

Lipitor (atorvastatin) for High Cholesterol: Lowers cholestorol but I have the oddest side effect – I call it itchy feet. In the bottoms only and nothing stops the itchy feeling, except Neurontin. It's an internal nerve itch, not external. I was scratching on concrete, anything to make it stop.

I enjoyed the specific suggestions. I've tried some of the vegan items and have enjoyed them. It is a bonus to eat enjoyable items that make you feel good. I have a tendency to be inconsistent with my food choices. I have noticed when I choose junk food, I spend more time on the couch. There is also the resistance to change – sometimes just because the food is different. The start of a new year is as good a time as any to break our bad eating habits. We can do it!

I was vegan for several years. THis is a great article but I have some things to point out. Healthy foods can still be fattening. Beans and olive oil and nuts are some examples. Great foods and great fats! But fattening nevertheless. In fact, some of my family members gained quite a bit of weight from eating these healthy fats so often.

The other tip I have is to avoid salt and caffeine that drain nutrients from your system. I think the point of switching to potato chips and fries is an important one. A lot of vegans I know didn't put in the effort to eat right and relied on these types of foods, and lacked protein in their mostly-potato diet!

One other word of caution is that being a healthy vegan is very hard. Not impossible, but very difficult, especially in our fast-paced lives where it is difficult to put in the time to eat the healthy foods you need to. I worked really, really hard to stay healthy and still couldn't get all the nutrients I needed, based on blood tests from the docs. If you go vegan, it requires a total commitment, not just to the animals, but to your self.

Thank you for this article. I, too, swear by a vegan diet. I have never felt or looked so good.

I went vegan-esque after my mom had a quintuple bypass. For the first time in my adult life, my cholesterol went inyo the normal range! Check out “The China Study” – there are a raft of benefits to eating mainly plants!
