I’ve had the same experience with vegan/vegetarianism and cholesterol. Have ramped up cardio and hoping for better results my next doctor visit, but it’s frustrating when you’re body does react like the science says it should

I think it is more honest to eat what you believe you should eat for your own health instead of marrying a label that tells you what you should eat.. Having lived with a vegan, a number of vegetarians and tons of omnivores.. I believe that life is a wander. We need different foods at different times. I hate to be labelled. And i seriously loathe being told how to be. So follow your heart and your dream. Do what feels right for you and drop the labels. Just be you. And don’t apologise! c

Haha, of course!! My blog is titled after cake, and I eat cake maybe…once every couple of months?

I also consider myself a semi-vegan. I love a lot of “vegan foods” but occasionally throw goat cheese on a salad or eating a slice of pizza if the mood strikes me. I’m all about throwing off the labels and just eating what you want!

I have been a vegetarian for about 14 years. It started off with the whole “I love animals” thing but now its definitly due to factory farming issues. Due to health reasons I did start eating a bit of seafood about 2 years ago, I still feel guilty but I absolutly refuse to eat other types of meat.

That’s good to know about Greek yogurt! I’m thinking I’ll have to ease myself into dairy again, so that might be a good place to start

Sorry your numbers were still high. Hopefully you won’t have to be on meds permanately! I would still love to read your (mostly) vegan blog!

I too have just started incorporating some greek yogurt back into my diet – it’s easy to digest for someone who is lactose intolerant and it’s working out well!

I think you can still keep your blog title, but as you get new readers, they may be confused.

I’m sorry your cholesterol is still high, but definite kudos on trying veganism to see if it would help! My sensitivity to cow’s milk led me to try many of the same things you have, and my life is so much better for incorporating nutritional yeast, coconut milk, etc.!
