So far I feel hungry all the time, which is something I observed before when I'd do "meatless Mondays" or whatever. Probably means I need more protein.
Speaking of protein, I wonder whose science I can trust on this matter, as vegan activists are all like "Yeah, you really don't need that much" and non-vegan nutitionists are like "Make a majority of your diet from protein". I think nutritionists like protein because it makes you feel full for longer, and because it's not as high calorie per gram as carbs or fat are. Still, be good to know.
All these vegan meals are low calorie. Maybe I'll get off my weightloss plateau?
Yesterday was going to be my start day until I realized how many meaty leftovers we needed to tackle. So but 90% of the day was vegan and I actually had a lot of energy. Dancing around the house energy. Remains to see if it's related. The evidence is out.
