I loved the freedom of saying yes to carbs, especially in this low-carb-obsessed world. I ate tons of baked sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, popcorn, fresh fruit smoothies, brown rice, beans, and fresh fruit, and a little bit of whole wheat bread and pasta.
I loved rediscovering new vegan recipes and experimenting with cooking and baking without oil. Eating whole foods and cutting out processed foods made my body feel so vibrant and energized. And since I was getting my fill of fibre, my digestion was smooth, and as long as I didn't overdo it on whole grains or fruit, I had no issues with bloating.
