Hello to you all.

[Paul80]

Hi there,

I'm new to this and I'm looking to change my lifestyle eating wise. The only problem I have with a vegan diet is that I'm allergic to nuts and most recipes I've seen have nuts in them. Some help on this would be much appreciated.

Hope you all had a merry Christmas and a happy new year when it comes round.

Thanks,

Paul

Hey Paul80,

A lot of recipes for vegan cheese and cheese sauce substitutes feature the use of cashews and other nuts, but they're certainly not critical to a vegan diet. Can you eat coconut?

Hello Paul, and welcome to VF! Congrats on your decision to switch your diet!

Quite a lot of vegan recipes can be made without nuts. Are you allergic to all types of nuts?

Oh you'll be fine without nuts! Any particular ones? I always get confused as cashews aren't a nut, nor peanuts.

You need to keep looking, there are tons of recipes that don't contain nuts.

welcome @Paul80

Congrats on your decision to take control of your health and to therefore help the animals and the environment.

Nuts are a very minor player in eating vegan or eating a whole food plant-based lifestyle.

Dr Greger has a new book out that you may wish to consider looking for at your local library "How Not to Diet" and that and books by any of the other plant-based doctors like Dr Esselstyn, Rip Esselstyn, Dr McDougall, etc can be very helpful. Also, if you google vegan "what I eat in a day youtube" you will find endless numbers of vegans who document what they eat on a regular basis and most of it is simple...

Happy New Year! welcome to veganuary, Emma JC

Hello and welcome! You can still get DHA from algal sources and there are some vegan cheeses made without nuts. Otherwise you should be fine.
