So my convoluted vegan experiment is over today! In the end, the whole thing lasted 40 days: 31 as a vegan and 9 days where I fell off the wagon because I was visiting family or friends were visiting me. Not too shabby.
In the end, I don’t think I will become a full-time vegan, though I have nothing but respect for those who can stick to it! Eating this way has definitely been good for me, though. I ate a lot more vegetables and legumes than normal and a lot less dessert. I didn’t miss the extra sprinkle of cheese here and there, but there were a few things that I craved. Mostly dessert (of course) and, weirdly, seven-layer taco dip. I really want some taco dip for some reason!
I’ll probably indulge in the taco dip, but I can definitely see myself doing a similar challenge (with the same wishy-washy rules) again in the future.
For Science!
