Arroz Sin Pollo - 21-Day Vegan Kickstart - The Cancer Project

Starting the 21-Day Vegan Kickstart - part of the Cancer Project. Aiming to be a Cancer Project cook by next year. So, this is a good start. Although I try to keep a Vegan lifestyle, I am sometimes more Vegeterian than Vegan, and I love the Guacamole Salad on Bedford Park int he Bronx which has grilled chicken galore, and I love Tita's Pasteles. So, no more eggs, and no more Guacamole Salad with Grilled Chicken and no more meat Pasteles.

Definitions - from "Nutrient Concerns for Vegeterian Runners"

Semi-vegetarian
Semi-vegetarian diet excludes some but not all groups of animal derived products (for example those who avoid meat but not fish).

Vegan / Strict vegetarian
Strict vegetarian diet excludes all animal derived foods including meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy products.

The issue with a Vegan diet is that I am a runner, and so to run you need lots of protein and carbs for energy and fuel. To read more on this issue read the article where I obtained the definitions (see above).

What is the 21-Day Vegan Kickstart?

It is part of the The Cancer Project. The 21-Day Vegan Kickstart is a wonderful step towards health and empowerment. This is a 21-day structure of weekly e-mails for healthy eating. I know some may think that a vegan lifestyle should not be the only healthy alternative, but I have seen and experienced its benefits. To learn more about this, and the research available do go to the Cancer Project.

So start your 21-Day Vegan Kickstart - September 6th, 2010.
