My total cholesterol was over 400 at 30 yrs old, now its 141, but there was a time I was considered a ???Fat Vegan???, it is so easy to do, there are lots of fat and unhealthy Vegan foods waiting for your buying dollar, so word to the wise, if you ???need??? to dip into the processed bad foods for a while to help you ???pass over???, do it, but do it over a short time.
