Eating a 95 percent plant-based diet, focusing more on plant-based foods and less on animal-based foods seems right for me. I noticed on Meat free days I feel more energized. It’s well worth the effort to consume less meat and dairy even if you don’t eliminate it entirely. There are so many more nutrients in vegetables. Herbs and vegetables have so many medicinal benefits. Most of my recipes here are vegan. Take this journey with me!
