Take a moment to reflect: what would you need to really succeed in reaching your weight or health goals? Is it the newest restrictive fad diet, more time or more money? For my client Arthur, what made…
Arthur, were there other challenges or struggles you faced at the beginning related to plant-based eating?
I just didn't know what to expect.
I didn't know how am I going to cook anything.
I was like a little kid.
I said, oh, you're a teacher.
Whatever you tell me to do, I'll try it out.
You got me very motivated.
As you remember, I went and bought everything on the shopping list.
I bought the spices.
I said, I don't know what they taste like.
I got every spice on your list.
And I got all the things you had to get.
I went overboard.
In fact, I bought balsam vinegar and that was sitting on my shelf there for about two months until I got to your recipe for balsam vinegar Brussels sprouts, which was the last book.
So I had everything ready.
And there was something else that you did.
You showed me things on Amazon, like for example, the silicone spatula and bowl for making bread.
I'll let you know, I'm an experienced bread maker.
I make my own bread.
So all those fears about what's going to be worked out great.
