I eat lots of veggies, fruits, nuts, rice, beans bran, as much raw or natural foods as possible, and take multi vitamins daily.

My main reason for the change was health and to lose weight, but i'm also an animal lover and did always feel kinda weird eating them. It also helps that i was dating a smoking hot girl for the last year who is Vegetarian, and she decided to go Vegan earlier this year, so i decided to join her. I'll never go back, it's a big lifestyle decision, but if you do it right you'll feel great.
You lost 40 pounds and are eating healthier... vegan or not, absolutely you should feel better. Going from a week of eating crap food to a week of eating healthy food (meat included), I can absolutely feel the difference and it absolutely makes you feel better.

Either way, sounds like you made a good lifestyle choice. I'm sure your girlfriend loves your new look.
