Well, would you look at that! There actually is a few vegan restaurants in the general area.

你看看，這附近真的有一些蔬食餐廳

It's 3.5 km away, and I'm going to walk.

I called up an expert.

我找來一位專家

Basically what he's saying is I need to divide up my diet into parts.

I need to double up on my grains,

我五穀根莖類的攝取量需要增加一倍

Eat a mix of fruits and veggies,

吃蔬菜和水果

Seeds and beans,

種子和豆類

Now I just need to do a quick stop at Krispy Kreme!

I'm proud. I feel good!

我很驕傲，我覺得很好！

So okay, a week is definitely not enough time to see or feel drastic changes.

However, it was enough for me to realize something.

雖然如此，這已經夠我了解一些事情

Food is essentially fuel. What we put in our bodies is energy.

食物是我們基本的燃料。我們吃進身體的東西會成為我們的能量

Our bodies are our everything and why do I treat mine so poorly?
