THE VEGAN TESTIMONY

Being a vegan, for one and a half years after being a vegetarian for 25 years has made a big difference in my relationship to food. No more dairy products. Being a vegan is much more challenging now.

I'm finding more things to cook and create, that are vegan. I have learned to use food as a tool that's diverse and healthy. But to much of a good thing can cause you problems. Like weight gain, if not handled in the moment.

THE VEGAN TESTIMONY!

You can still gain weight, if you don't eat in moderation. My test has been with vegan made biscuits, vegan pancakes, vegan cakes, vegan puddings, non-dairy ice cream, and natural potato chips.

I was using these foods as a comfort tool. Especially when I was under stress. Since I found that I can still eat them in a vegan style of cooking them, I found myself over eating them, and picked up unwanted pounds in my hips and waist. Although I exercise by walking for 1 hour 5 days a week.

I must now do the opposite to regain my comfortable weight and size, and use these comforting tools when I'm not stressed and in moderation from time to time.

The food tools I'm using to regain my comfortable weight and size within a week of daily use as an example are for (Breakfast) fresh fruit, half slice of a large avocado, and a hot cup of avocado spinach green drink.
(Lunch) a medium size raw vegetable salad with a homemade vegan salad dressing, fresh fruit, herbal tea or herbal fruit juice. (Dinner) fresh steamed or stir fry vegetables, steamed brown rice or steamed potato with a homemade vegan sauce, and a tossed green salad with a homemade vegan salad dressing, herbal tea or herbal fruit juice and fresh fruit.

Eating the foods that caused me to gain weight was my conscious choice, because they tasted good and was comforting to me at the moment. I was under stress and didn't focus on the consequence of weight gain. This does not mean I am weak minded, just because I went back to my biological programming that I missed.

The truth of the matter of weight gain or even weight loss is, we are in control of what we eat or don't eat, and how much we eat or don't eat.

THE NEGATIVE SIDE!

food insecurity, lack of appreciation for good food, fear of social change, a wrong relationship with food, unbalance food supply.

THE POSITIVE SIDE!

secure food that brings diverse and healthy thoughts, and acts is what's best for our health and well being.

QUESTION! DO YOU THINK A COMMITMENT TO HEALTHY EATING MEANS ENDURING BLAND AND BORING FOOD?
