Guest guest Posted June 25, 2002 Report Share Posted June 25, 2002 Hi everyone! I'm really new to veganism & just had a couple of questions. I didn't have a problem giving up meat, but I feel almost " addicted " to milk. I get really bad cravings for it (I was drinking 1 litre a day, and have recently cut back a lot). I actually found it easier to quit smoking after 7 years, than give up dairy. Is cold turkey the best way to deal with this? I also have quite the sweet tooth and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good book for cutting back on sugar. Thanks, Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 well, its been said that milk has opiate mimics in it..sooo. and i'm sure the fats in it are hard to break its up to you how you do it...do you think you could do it better cold turkey? how did you quit smoking? i'd cut all regular dairy out(milk, etc), and then work on ingredients like whey and such, assuming you haven't already but, its all how you feel and think you'll do! cheers fraggle " rowan1512 " <rowanwitch wrote: >Hi everyone!
