All -

With my documented coronary artery disease (CAD), which included 4 stents in 2 blocked arteries (4 years ago). I have started a lifestyle change.

Well it has been 2 weeks since I have given up all meat, fish, poultry and eggs. And I am feeling great, I do not feel bloated. There are some times I smell meat and really want to go back, but I am on a journey (hopefully a long one).

I also have incorporated juicing for my morning meal, usually a combination of Spinach, Apple, banana and some flax seed. I will add more juicing throughout my day as a snack. We use the Nutribullet, it is more of a emulsifier than a juicer.

Now starting Monday I will be giving up all Dairy (I will miss cheese) and my Diet Cokes. The in a few more weeks adding Whole Grain and get away from the bad snacks (chips, candy, etc..).

There have been a few documentaries I have watched recently that have sent me in this direction. I am not telling people what they should do or eat, I am just sharing what led to my decision, if you are interested here are the documentaries.
