Life Changeing Experience

Five days ago I started a pure plant based diet (No meat, fish, dairy, oils). So far I am feeling great and eating as much as I like. I have already lost 1kg (weight loss is not a target for me it's just happening) and my resting pulse rate has gone down a couple to 48. This was my best and lowest RPR during my peak fitness times when I was training and racing. Robyn has decided to join me (thank god) and we have just emptied the house out of all foods we don't want to eat.
If you want to know more check out this link and yes there is a book!
I know this seems radical and right now its a novelty for us and we are riding the wave of enthusiasm over a new change. Long term time will tell. My personal goal (considering my "issues") is to be DRUG FREE & ON THE BIKE within two years. This will mean that I will need to know the diet has stopped or reversed the coronary artery disease
Beer is still on the OK list for me and wine for Robyn. Life's good.
For those that are interested I am continuing a heavy exercise commitment (minus the bike right now) with Kettle bells every second day and 40 to 50 minutes aerobic exercise about 3 or 4 times a week where I aim to keep my heart rate above 60% with surges up to 80-85%. But that's not a new thing for me it's just good to be doing it pain free.
The weather has been beautiful here over Xmas but now we believe a front is coming through with lots of rain. So I need to get up on the roof and clean those gutters.
