No meat, no dairy, no sugar, no happiness?

So Richard and I are doing a four-week diet. We started last Wednesday, so only three weeks left to go. Basically we eat nothing but whole grains, nuts, beans, fruits, vegetables, and minimally processed products made from those things, such as tofu, coconut milk, and extra virgin olive oil. The book we're using for the diet has recipes for every day of the four weeks. And the food is delicious! We're eating things we never knew existed like 5 grain tempeh--made out of things like soybeans, millet, brown rice, and oats. Have you ever heard of a grain called quinoa (grows in South America)? We love it! Here is the website for the diet: www.howhealthworks.com . I highly recommend reading the first couple chapters of the book, which is found online, because it is really interesting if for no other reason. Who would have ever thought that I, the must-have-meat-at-every-dinner-could-live-on-dairy-products-alone-and-dessert-is-the-fourth-food-group-queen would be a (temporary) VEGAN?! (Well, technically I'm not truly a vegan right now because I do eat 2 eggs a day. To make sure Bella is getting enough protein in her milk.) And, I am happy about it. I feel good!
