Day 2

My second day as a vegan was a success. I had my usual oatmeal with peanut butter for breakfast, two avocado sandwiches for lunch, chips and salsa and steamed veggies for dinner. Lunch had me completely stuffed. I used one avocado in each sandwich. Next time I'll use a half avocado each if I'm planning on eating two sandwiches.

I also made a vegan chocolate cake using a vegan cake mix I had purchased some time ago. I used applesauce for an egg substitute, coconut milk, and coconut oil. The texture wasn't as fluffy as a non-vegan cake. It was more like fluffy fudge. Nonetheless, my sweet craving was satisfied and I didn't feel hungry.

Some things I've heard from people who attempted veganism in the past is that they were always hungry and they were only satisfied with a double serving of meat. When I have those feelings after meals, I drink a huge glass of water, and that really takes the edge off my hunger withdrawals. If not, I'll eat more vegan food. If I'm hungry, I'm going to eat, but I don't feel the need to eat meat.

I feel great and I'm excited for day 3! Bring it on!
