The RAVE Diet -On the Road to Becoming Vegetarian

Rick and I have decided to eat very healthy and will try to go vegetarian. The dietary guide that Rick wants to try and follow is the RAVE diet. This means no animal products, which will be difficult because we do like dairy products such as cheese and yogurt. But after seeing a PBS special called "Eating" and seeing them take a section of an artery and pull out a long strand of the build up that comes from the typical American diet, we were both so horrified that we have decide to try our best to cut our consumption of all animal products. This RAVE diet also directs you to cut oils, processed foods and sugar from your diet. This will be difficult and I think it will be easier to start by cutting down at first.

So, my future posts until further notice should be titled, “On the Road to Becoming Vegetarian”. Wish me luck, especially since Rick doesn’t like mushrooms and they seem to be a major meat replacement.
