Healthquest: Vendor Loses 140 Pounds, Gains Vast Nutrition Knowledge

Thirty years ago, Robert Sondak moved to Boston from New York 140 pounds overweight. He decided something had to be done about the spare pounds for health reasons and became a vegetarian.

He first entered into the macrobiotic vegetarian diet which use rice and grains as a base and incorporate vegetables and legumes too. He also started yoga, but Sondak still developed some food- related health issues.

He switched to a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet which incorporates dairy and eggs while still eliminating meat. This brought about the health and happiness he sought.

Through his journey Sondak discovered the Boston Area Gleaners and Food For Free, two organnizations that help to end hunger.
