Dairy Challenge: 2 Week Update



It now has been two weeks since I started my Six Week Dairy Free Challenge. It's been an eye opening few weeks. I had no idea how many common, everyday items sitting on shelves in my pantry, refrigerator and freezer contained dairy or dairy by-products.

6 Week Dairy Challenge: First Challenge

Yesterday I wrote that I decided to take on a Dairy Free Challenge to see what effects it would have on my health, energy and weight. As a 47 year old man with a history of allergies, sinus issues, digestive challenges and forty pounds of excess hanging like an albatross around my waist I wanted to be proactive with my Quality of Life.

6 Week Non Dairy Challenge

Last weekend I was visiting a friend of mine who lives in New Paltz, NY. Val has been a Vegetarian since she was in her mid twenties. She was telling me she decided to go Vegan as well. She has been Vegan since the first of the year and she swears by the results in both health and looks.

She mentioned that I should try to go Vegetarian or Vegan. I told her I love bacon too much and that I have a whole host of health issues that would probably make it impossible for me to do so. What, she asked, where my health issues?
