Since I have pletny to cook with I have been eating almost streight vegan since my last update, haveing another weird reaction, no matter how much I eat I feel hungry, not sure if this is due to the lack of animal protein or the introduction of soy. I have gone years without any now I did three...

Weird day, I found myself having bizarre memory lapses, co-workers that I speak to every day I forgot their names momentarily as well as other important details like what time the unit calls count. I have heard other people in the keto community talk about "grain brain" but this is the first...

Oh yeah and day 5 vegen supper was a medium salad (6 cup aprox) with two sweet potatoes sliced and baked with cinnamon and a handful of walnuts on top, I had forgoten how much I loved toasted walnuts. Nothing really groundbreaking tonight because I am running low on fresh produce to work with...

Yeah I am far from resistant to change, I might not line up with cookie cutter vegan dogma but thanks to my medical condition I have studied nutrition enough to know that eating a pound of processed, mass produced meat a day every day is a genuinely horrid idea. There might be half a dozen...

No it is not entirly what I would call true microgreens but it is very young greens for sure and some of them I would absolutely classify as microgreens. I like getting a very wide variety of plant fibers in my diet so I like these kinds of variety packs. When I cook my beans and greens I have a...

Vegan supper day 4, tried making that same dressing from last night a bit leaner/thicker to do some stuffed peppers, first time I have ever tried to stuff peppers without cheese. The lower fat content made the peppers a bit spicier than normal but I am Cajun I can take the heat, overall it was...

Very true that was mostly fat calories but the dozen cups of greens combined with the lintels, seeds, and that same avocado is already way more fiber than the average American gets in a full day just from one meal and even more than my lintel stir fry the day before although the stir fry was...

Day three of vegan supper and I found a shockingly good result, I decided to do a massive (3qt) micro greens salad but of course my three favorite toppings were off the list as I could not have blue cheese dressing, smoked herring, or my favorite aged Parmesan cheese, so I experimented and made...

The second attempt and lintels and kale turned out VASTLY better, cooked 1 cup of red lintels with 1/4 cup of brown rice, strained and rinsed then cooked with a tablespoon of heavily seasoned olive oil so I could stir fry it with the kale. Added half a large red onion and a bunch of dried red...

Yes I am already set in the B12 department and nuts/seeds have been regular purchases for many years now as they are completly safe for blood glucose levels, plenty of fiber/fat/protein buffering their modest carb content. Yeah it makes sense that chickpea flour would be better for blood...

Oh I never get quick oats they are a little harder on the blood glucose and don't taste as good IMHO, and the reason I eat them raw has nothing to do with cook time I just like having a little chewy texture rather than boiling it to a slime. I don't recall seeing soya milk localy they do carry...

Thanks everyone for the input and recopies, I have already cut meat consumption roughly 80% in the past two weeks by stretching it considerably with legumes, mushrooms, and greens now I am plotting my next step which is to start doing vegan supper every evening, I did kale and red lentils today...

Pea protein is an easy fix, I have been using it for years even before I started reducing animal products. Add a little to a smoothie and you are in business, in some ways it is superior to whey protein. The more whole foods route is get more legumes in your diet so long as you can withstand all...

Several years ago I took up the challenge to go vegan for 30 days, the results were just plain bad, went cold turkey whole foods vegan and felt like absolute garbage for nearly the entire month. Not sure if this was due to my life long blood glucose issues or the fact that ultra low fat vegan...

True North is a water fasting clinic, I already do that quite well in fact I am just now coming off a 36 hour water fast, one of the perks of being in ketosis actually since you are already running on your fasting fuel source there is no uncomfortable transition and no issues with low blood...

Yes the problem is that most carbs are highly insulinogenic and that is a very big problem for me as my pancreas is always looking for an excuse to kill me by producing way too much of the stuff and dropping my blood sugar down to near fatal levels, the condition is called reactive hypoglycemia...

2 days, and apparently I am already an outcast, seems like if you cannot drink the high carb Kool-aid then you will never fit in. Darn medical condition.

For the record I did try a high carb high starch vegan diet, spent 30 days on it and without going into detail that will get my post erased again let's just say that I got worse, much worse. Dr McDougal is a pretty sharp guy but in this case he does not know what he is talking about, he may have...

Post erased by mod. Oh I see, so if someone supports something other then the cookie cutter high carb diet as the one diet for every human on earth you get the muzzle treatment around here, good to know that diversity is alive and well.

Hi everyone, as you can probably tell by the title that I am new to this, well sort of. I took the 30 day vegan challenge back in 2010 but the only advice that I heard was from the high carb crowd and I felt horrid the whole time mainly because of a medical condition that I was born with called...
