Hi All
Newly minted WFPB vegan here. I've been eating better for a year or two for health reasons and last week committed to be a reducetarian. Then I watched Cowspiracy and What The Health over the weekend and am now a cold turkey, WFPB vegan! If you only knew how much I loved cheeseburgers you'd be as surprised as me at this turn of events!
So day 4 and I'm really excited but surprised that this is going to be even more difficult than I thought. Its not missing meat - I'm fine with that. But learning the differences between WFPB and vegan I'm discovering how much stuff is off limits. I'm particularly thinking about peanut butter and hummus. Is there enough oil in these products that I should be steering clear or is it trace amounts? And how processed is too much? Jams and preserves? Canned tomato products? Frozen and canned veggies?
My other question is about my upcoming vacation. I'm going to Ecuador for 10 days next week. I think once I get settled there I'll be fine eating out or cooking in as I'm staying at AirBnBs but the journey is going to be almost 24 hours door to door and at this point I have no idea how to eat WFPB while out and about. Any suggestions as to how to eat while traveling?
Thanks
Mitch
