I'll give a more detailed recap in a different blog post, but for now, I just wanted to start documenting the trial of my new plant based diet.

So, last Friday (5th October, for the record), I thought I'd have a chilled night and rent an action movie, so I had a look on Google Movies and saw a new film called "The Game Changers" produced by Arnie, and Jackie Chan. About a UFC fighter that discovered everything he'd been told about protein was a lie... I didn't realise that it was a documentary, but after 20 minutes I was hooked.

They interviewed all kinds of athletes who have opted to switch to a whole-food plant based diet, and the results were astounding. More energy, better recovery time from injuries, and much much healthier.

Over this summer, I've had huge problems with my thumb (diagnosed as osteo-arthritis) so I've not been able to play much tennis (although drinking more water seems to have helped with the inflammation and pain almost overnight.)

Anyway, after watching the documentary, I've decided to give it a try to see how a plant based diet will help (if at all) my joint pains, stress and overall health and energy levels)

So, for the record - I'm weighing in at 87kg and have been really stressed with a few projects that are now, nearly complete.

I'm two days in, and will check back every few days with an update.

Fingers crossed
