    Transitioning from vegetarian to Vegan

    I advise just shopping the fruits and veggie sections... anything you are buying packaged can be made, with certainty of freshness and content; (and if it can't... lol well maybe that's food for thought). I learned to cook because I loved to bake which leaked into cooking and here we are, I...

    Most definitely! In my first nutrition class I learned of a Swiss (i believe) hospital dedicated to curing cancer, they use a whole organic nutrient dense philosophy. It blew my mind that the knowledge exists yet we hear about chemo... not nutrition and how it really does matter

    I did it for my health

    I learned through personal experience years ago and many times again in these last 11 years. This is about our future generations knowing, learning, practicing, it's about being here to teach them that it matters what we're eating! I want to get on my soapbox and preach nutrition! :)

    What are your thoughts on impossible/beyond meat burgers?

    I think whole foods are most important... maybe I'd consider making my own veggie burger since the kids may enjoy that variety... our highly processed food intake is a main contributor to our lack of health. Plus it'd be cheaper to buy the ingredients than to buy a package, unless it's lasagna lol.

    I'm struggling with my boyfriend not becoming vegan

    I'm of the belief that each have a fundamental right to make our choices, the best we can do is to make educated choices. I have children, two go to their fathers away from me, he feeds them dairy, meat, soda, and so much beyond just what they consume. My kids have freedom to eat meat if it's...

    Going from low carb/keto to vegan! help!?

    My biggest suggestion is to pack your fridge with the fresh fruits and veggies. Eat as much raw as you can. Pick healthful grains. Nuts of all varieties. When I first began a vegan diet I was actually raw vegan, I ate all the time! Lost 70lbs in two months. I was struggling with my health, or...
