Vegan/Vegetarian Thread (discussion, recipes, laughs)

[tantalizingfemme]

So I have been reading about the benefits of ketosis and have decided to start doing vegan keto. Is anyone doing this/has done this? Yay or nay? Are there apps recommended? I have Cronometer and am not too excited by it. (Hopefully I need to just get used to it.) Eating for vegan keto is fortunately not too far off from the way I already eat, just less fruit and vegetable choices.

I personally would never do any type of diet that encourages eating less fruits and vegetables or even worse a diet that limits the types of fruit and vegetables you can eat.

Whatever works for you. I was hoping to get what experiences people had with this, not a critique. Already get enough of that when people find out I am vegan.

I'm very interested in vegan keto and vegan paleo, not necessarily doing them but for sure getting ideas from them. I watch a lot of youtube videos on the topic, and I always learn useful information. I pick and choose what I incorporate into my own lifestyle and way of eating. Tantalizing, I hope you will share with us as you go. And yes, Greco is the Master- has been very helpful to me.

So after research and trial and error I am not doing vegan keto. Too many macros and micros. I am doing whole food plant based only which excludes all oils, faux meats, and anything highly processed. The only processed foods are lightly processed and used sparingly such as sprouted bread, tofu, brown rice, certain flours and no white flours or rice. I juice low glycemic fruits and vegetables every morning right after I wake up and drink a warm 16 oz glass of water and no more coffee/caffeine. Everything I eat I make from scratch. My skin is singing. And besides my normal exercise I started body flow work. My energy level is up and I feel amazing. I found my niche and it's all so easy.

I have been peeing pink since I juiced two large beets a few days ago. It needs to stop before I convince myself I am dying from something...

I saw this recipe tonight and wanted to share. Serve the dish as is, for dinner. A simple green salad and, if you have it, some fresh bread is perfectly enough alongside for a satisfying and comforting, yet light, dinner.


Fried chickpeas, roast pumpkin and tahini sauce

I maybe wrong but I think Greco follows something like this kind of discipline...he would be a wonderful resource.
