I was vegan for 9 months when I was pregnant, well I did not choose to be vegan but my body will not feel good with meat so I had to choose to be vegan.And my doctor was not happy with that beasue they thoguht I am abusing my pregnancy . Well, I had very healthy 8.8 LBS baby boy. Well, but after I had the baby I was craving so much for fried chicken and I was eating them like there is no tomorrow. Oh, gosh I gained more weight after I had the baby.Thank God, I over come those crazy eating habit with in few weeks and now after three years I am slim and thin just like when I was in high school. Well, I do eat meat but it is only chicken, turkey and salmon and of course eaggs. No other kind of meat for me.
