So today marks the beginning of my [provocative] “Ubervegan” lifestyle. The idea was basically stolen from Tynan and his “MaxDiet” dietary lifestyle that he’s been practicing for about two years now, with little tweaks here and there. The moment I read Tynan’s MaxDiet articles every fiber in my body told me to try this dietary lifestyle along with him, thus here we are. Basically I will NEVER EVER EVER eat meat and dairy again! To all you meat lovers, this may sound like the tough part, but it’s not (far from it). What makes “Ubervegan” different from “Vegan” is that I also restrict myself from consuming:
Do you people know how many products in this world have artificially added sugar? Well, I did a little shopping today and found out that basically 99.9% of all foods have artificially added sugar. For example, I was all happy and thrilled (basically bouncing with glee) because I could still eat 100% Whole Grain bread, now picture my face when I discovered even bread has artificially added sugar. Tynan says in his articles that after reading The China Study he changed from a meat-consuming-sugar-addicted-uninformed-consumer to an overnight vegan just like that. The China Study
(amazon affiliate link and an amazing thought provoking book) basically says that most vegan lifestyle are no better than say an all-meat-consuming lifestyle because instead of eating healthier foods, most vegans turn to white rice, white potatoes, white flour, and sugar instead of meat, which as you can guess is not an improvement in health at all. These items are bad for you because they are all preprocessed foods (picture someone chewing the food beforehand and then packaging it for you to later eat, pretty picture right). The good parts about all this are:
I will keep a daily food journal and update you guys every Sunday on:
Like anything worth doing, this is going to be really hard. Wish me luck. I’ll need it.

I wish I were as strong as you are. I try to lead a healthy lifestyle as much as possible, but your lifestyle is a bit extreme for me. I don’t eat white rice or white bread and stay away from meat as much as possible (I eat it about once every 2 weeks). I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. I have been cutting back on salt and sugar. Most things are actually too salty for me now. I started exercising on a regular basis. Maybe I can get motivated some more and continue, after all, for me its about a healthy lifestyle and animal welfare.
Amazing! Glad to hear someone else actually being mindful about what they eat. I don’t really do it for animals as I do it for my own well being. But you’re strong than me for that! Keep it up!
