So today was interesting. I have really never purposely tried to consume a vegan diet, which is a bit uncouth of me, I suppose, considering the amount of anti-vegan contention I spew from my mouth. Of course, this is the carnevegan diet, not just plain ol' vegan.
I didn't completely follow this diet yet, but I'm easing into it, certainly. This morning I ate no eggs, avoided the yogurt and cottage cheese, but I did put a bit of milk into my coffee. I ate a sandwich with grilled veggies, turkey, lettuce and tomato, leftover from Powershift, half for lunch and half for dinner. I also had some potato-leek soup and orange. Then, THEN, I went to Starbucks, unfortunately, to meet an adviser for the Study Abroad program I'm looking at. I was feeling pretty good about the food I had consumed all day, and feeling rather indulgent, I went in for a tall mocha. Totally forgot about my carneveganism. That will change with time, certainly, but for now, I will be accidentally consuming an extra 300 calories, on occasion, which is better than accidentally consuming an extra 300 calories a night!
I'd also like to stress that this change in diet is for experimental reasons only, and to reduce the ridiculous midnight sugar feasts that take place in college. It may be a few days to a week before I officially start, but I will certainly record the day when it comes. I'm not sure I will give up putting milk in coffee and tea, though I will certainly give up lattes, cappuccinos and mochas. Yerba mate and milk is just too much of a staple in my Bon experience.
