Diet makes a difference!!
“By changing to a vegetarian diet I have felt incredible results. I feel lighter and full of energy. It's much easier to wake up in the morning. By focusing on not eating meat, I am drawn towards more nutritious food, like salad and fruit, to fill the void. I had no idea that a change in diet could impact my life so dramatically!
!I decided to change my diet because a friend
of my told me it would make me feel healthier and I was tired of feeling unwell. I had to accept that I was worth it! I lost about 10 pounds in the first two weeks.” !
