SHARAN/I found a sustainable diet at last!
I found a sustainable diet at last!
I have tried going vegan in the past and have had intense cravings and a particularly bad rebound.
I tried going raw for three weeks a few years ago – it took every ounce of my will to keep at it. At the end of it, I swore to never choose a diet that wasn’t sustainable.
I am immensely thankful to SHARAN for planting this belief that healthy food can be tasty, and for opening the doors to such amazing ideas for cooking. Thank you for not stopping with just the science behind why we should eat the way we eat, but also for educating with ways to make it happen.
I took to the diet to help my husband reverse an onset of type 2 diabetes, improve my liver function and lose weight. It is still early days, but I do see an improvement in my energy levels, a bit of weight loss and a general sense of lightness in my body. I am beginning to feel a natural aversion for stuff that isn’t healthy. I even find the taste of some unhealthy food that I used to enjoy in the past, less appealing.
I remember the first food I ate after 3 weeks of going raw was idli. I felt the burst of flavours after taking the first bite. The amazing thing about a whole plant-based diet is that I feel the same way now every single time I eat anything. The flavours are bursting on my tongue. The smell and taste of oil is now overwhelming. I used to love masala tea, but I don’t like the smell of milk anymore. I am amazed at how I got there without feeling deprived of ‘good’ food.
