So, I gave up my mainly vegan diet for one filled with delicious homemade cookies and Honey-Baked Ham and lots of other yummy treats.
And I can feel the difference.
I didn't notice at first my energy increase with the load of veggies and fruits I was consuming until I almost completely stopped eating them and instead supplemented sugars and fats. Seems logical that one would experience a loss of energy and vigilance, but as a 20-year-old, I fall back on the presupposition that my body can handle anything. (Foolishly, I am slowly coming to realize.)
I am looking forward to getting back on track with my healthy eating, since I can now attest to some (subtle) repercussions of the S.A.D. way of eating.
But, again, it is the holidays. So I'm still enjoying some of the wonderful traditions we continue on year by year (and hoping to create some of my own for future holidays!).
I love that picture Caitlin! You're blog is so well designed! I hope you got the message I left on your phone yesterday. Call me sometimes soon! I want to hear how your break is going, I'd like to spend sometime with you before school starts up again.
