Vegan?

I have fallen off the deep end and chosen to go Vegan. I read a book called Eat to Live and it made some intresting points. The author askes the readers to try his vegan diet for 6 weeks and then make a decision about how you eat. Tomorrow morning is the weigh in and day one of the 6 week journey to the life of the crazy hippies (what I have always called Vegans ).
The author talks alot about type 2 diabetes and how his way of eating cures it. I know a lot of men with this disease that take insulin. My father being one of them. I hope that I feel better after this diet and convince him to try it.
I plan to do this and track the results and thoughts here every evening after dinner.
I hope that if this is a good thing that I can inspire people to join me and have a day by day analysis on what to expect.
Wondering about the book here you go:
