Heading into Fall

Wow how time flies.  I can't believe that we are already heading into October.  I haven't really succeeded in getting back on my diet bandwagon - it's one day at a time right now as things go.  Two things I've become interested in lately... more plant based eating and juicing.  Dare I use the V words... Vegan or Vegetarian.  From what I've read and watched, the plant based lifestyle if really compelling... but I do like steak.  How do you compromise that?  I can skip the chicken, no problem there.  If we think of all the good things plants provide for us...all of those daily nutrients that most processed foods leave us depleted and deficient in, it's really something to consider.

Two documentaries I've seen lately:
Fat Sick and Nearly Dead is an awesome documentary on the benefits of juicing and
Forks Over Knives is another great case for switching to a plant based diet.



Check them out - both are on Netflix.  I also love my Breville juicer.  Thank you for the recommendation Joe!
