Vegan check in…

I’m only doing these “check ins” because I’m new to being vegan. I made for the first time the last few weeks a pasta dish that was delicious. The recipe is in this post.https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/02/09/forks-over-knives-vegan-chef-dels-mushroom-stroganoff/ My soup is still my favorite, it’s easy filling and so good.https://multipleexperiences.org/2017/02/01/vegan-creamy-potato-curry-soup/. I did run out of my almond milk/coconut milk that I whip together for my coffee a few times. That lead me to the half and half. I finally just bought Silk the non dairy…

Anyone that knows me knows I don’t cook. I just don’t like it but I know my way around the kitchen. As my multiple sclerosis worsened cooking became even more difficult. I have limited time I can stand on my feet, over a stove or cook top. I also have limited time I can cut and chop before my hands fatigue. Many times I will prepare a dish only to not be able to eat because my hands literally cannot…

I have yet to master eating out or going to someone else’s home since becoming vegan. When I say master I really should say try. I’ve dined out maybe 3 times in the last 2 months and my meal consisted of a salad and a vegetable side. I normally try to eat something first so I am not that hungry when I go. When I’ve gone to a friends house I don’t eat there at all. Tonight is Super Bowl…

I had the best physical therapy session ever!!! Just one of those days where my legs were super strong and didn’t fatigue to the point I couldn’t walk, like they normally do.  I even had enough energy to get to the food store. I needed a few ingredients make my favorite soup.  Thought I’d do something different today and share a plant-based vegan soup recipe. I was just so happy how well today went I also had to share my…

Let me start by reiterating the reasons WHY I decided to become vegan. I was told by my sister and a friend about a movie Forks Over Knives. The movie is about how most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that can afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal based and processed foods. There is also a book by Roy Swank called The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Book. In his book Dr. Swank also believed in…

I guess I can talk about my week review of my plant based diet eating. I told you my week in week two wasn’t the greatest week. I wasn’t exactly prepared. I ate a lot of meals from Veestro which were high in fat but it sticks to the plan. When I went away to my sisters for the holiday it actually was harder than I expected. Since we ate out two different nights, It was tough to be vegan….

First I’m happy to report I lost a pound. Second I still have no craving for meat. I’ve also been doing pretty good with my coffee. I haven’t really been missing my half and half with my coconut milk/almond milk blend. I use a brown sugar/truvia sugar blend in my coffee for a sweetener and it all flows nicely. I even throw in a cap of mirolax sometimes. I learned that Veestro who has those prepared plant based diet foods http://Www.veestro.com does…

It wasn’t difficult to not eat meat AT ALL. I didn’t miss it or crave it in the least. My most difficult obstacle was my coffee. Even being on weight watchers 99.9% of my life, I used half n half. I drank coffee very light. I had to give that up. Vegan is no dairy, no meat. I looked online and got a recipe for a can of coconut milk combined with almond milk, both unsweetened, mix them together and…

Starting Saturday I will be following a plant based diet. Why Saturday? One of my birthday gifts from my sister and brother-in-law was a gift certificate to Terra Kitchen. They are a home delivery food company that sends the ingredients and you put the meal together. The difference is they cut the ingredients for you which for me is tremendous because I can’t do that anymore.  My first delivery is Saturday. I also ordered from Veestro the 21 day kick…

A plant based diet is a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes; and it excludes or minimizes meat (including chicken and fish), dairy products, and eggs, as well as highly refined foods like bleached flour, refined sugar, and oil. A 2013 Nutritional Update for Physicians stated, “Healthy eating may be best achieved with a plant-based diet, which we define as a regimen that encourages whole, plant-based foods and discourages meats, dairy products, and eggs as well as…
