Great info! I found this article on the same site. SCARY, I had no idea. I eat a little soy, but will avoid it now!

I'm interested what has prompted you to want to try the vegan diet? What are you expecting/anticipating will change for you? I have wondering if/ how lipid panel readings change eating more meat and dairy products? Because I am in such a state of routine and comfort, I will stick with what I am doing, but please do share more.

For me, it's about eating a more humane diet, a diet that doesn't contribute to the suffering of animals raised for food, and also a diet that's better for the planet.

I'm really tempted but I just freaking LOVE cheese too much. :)

I love cheese, too. A LOT.

Can you live without it for a week or two? Or try some soy cheese (I know it doesn't taste the same).

Whole foods (and Im sure other health food chains) carries quite a few vegan cheeses that are really good. My kids couldnt even tell the difference. The consistancy is a little different, but they taste great.

oH MAN, with my protein level at 4 I would be a train wreck, I am relying on skim milk, greek yougart, farm fresh eggs and we get or own meat Via, venision, rabbit:) not to big on the chickens fresh from the farm, ...........I don't do as well with soy as I do skim procucts. working on the level, hope surgery fixes the prob the 16th, good luck Kelly.
