Week Three

This week I started my pitch which I will have to present on the next week Thursday. The pitch is my proposal of my idea to my peers and some teachers. This week I also increased more research for my diet. My mentors, my parents, are setting up an appointment with my doctor, so these next two months will be as safe as possible. I have also been researching many diet plans I can use recipes from or follow for a few days. These weekend I went to a restaurant that had vegan options. My favorite food or drink I order from their was the cucumber-lemon water. This gave me an idea to have this type of water to keep me even more hydrated and full. Another recipe I have in mind such as mashed potatoes, pasta salad, and many more. Next week I will create a meal plan for the first week of my diet. I will also put the finishing touches on my pitch. Finally, I will visit the doctor to check if I am cleared for the diet and a healthier way of my diet.

Diet days: Febuary 1 through April 1

Week 2

Week 2: Two Weeks Until Vegan Diet

This week I continued my research on the vegan diet. One thing I learned from my research is the deficiency of many important nutrients for the body from this diet. Many animal products have calcium. Calcium can be replaced by dark colored greens such as kale and collard greens. Another big deficiency in this diet is iron. Iron can be replaced by beans, oatmeal, and leafy greens. Vitamin B12 is also a deficiency located in the vegan diet. Vitamin B12 is found in most meat, and can be replaced by vitamin supplements. Next week I will create a 60 day meal plan or calendar of my journey.

Week One: Research

Week 1

This week was the beginning of my research of my 20 time project. If you didn't know my project topic and theme, it is veganism. I will be vegan for two months straight. The veganism will start on February 1st to April 1st. In between these two months, I will not have any animal-products. This includes dairy, meat, honey, and many more foods that a human eats daily. Even though these two months will be hard for me, I want to strengthen my character traits such as displine and loyalty. This week I went on many different websites and watched different videos. The two websites that stood out to me were wholefoods.com and vegan.com. These two websites gave me recipes and guides to accomplishing my goal. Next week, I continue my research and begin to create my calendar of the food I will eat for that time period.
