My journey started back on 3/13/13 when I was awaken by my father's phone call telling me my Mother had passed away due to a massive heart attack. She was only 58...One month after my 39th birthday. It was a complete shock and devastating. I felt I was in good shape. Went to the gym regularly, ate what I thought was a healthy diet. But after about 9 months of depression I found myself almost 200 pounds with high cholesterol, border line high blood pressure, and pre diabetic sitting at the doctors office listening to him tell me I am headed in the same direction as my mom if I don't make some changes. He gave me 3 months to make a significant reduction in my cholesterol otherwise he would put me on medication for the rest of my life. He didn't tell me how to do this however...but I thought it logical to remove any food with cholesterol in it. I admit, I was naive. I didn't know what a vegan diet was. My wife was vegetarian when we met and I converted her back to eating meat. My dad grew up on a chicken ranch, my Aunt lives on a milk farm. Growing up eggs, milk and meat were a staple in our diet. I had no intention of living a vegan or plant based life style, come on I hated vegetables, right! Well that's what I did. I went home from the doctor and removed every trace of cholesterol from the house. Turns out that was all of the animal products....
