What A Beginner, Intermediate, And Experienced Vegan Eat In A Day

Sarah Carter definitely! What I always give as a tip to people that want to go vegan is: look at what you already have and can easily replace one to one. All of the other crazy vegan stuff will come later (read 500 tofu creations or making your own seitan). It’s usually way easier and tastier than you think. I transitioned really slowly and have never regretted my decision in the 4,5 years I’ve been vegan 😊

It's funny how in this video it looks like the longer you are vegan, the more "experienced" in cooking you get and you try more difficult dishes... which may be true during weekends or holidays but the truth is vegans who've been vegan for a long time and don't make their living out of cooking, their dishes get simpler as times goes by. It's great to experiment when you start out, look what fills you up, what's easy and fast to prepare on a daily basis and what meets all your caloric, macro AND micro nutrient needs. Don't be intimidated, usually the meals you prepare on a daily basis get more basic as time goes by :) Also, to the people who made the video, I love the initiative and I know that showing delicious food is important but we should also focus on health. For most people going vegan is hard because they don't end up meeting their caloric, macro and micro nutrient needs. It would've been awesome to show a breakdown of their meals as their whole day of eating because (and I might be wrong) I don't know if they are reaching their daily goals for macro and micro nutrients.

Clinically we (UK) have an increased rate of insufficiency of the following nutrients: iron, vitamin D, zinc and co-enzyme Q10. Traditionally we also have had increased incidence of low B12 levels but raised awareness of taking B12 daily as a vegan has corrected the problem. Vegans no longer have an increased incidence of B12 deficiency. It is especially important for vegans to supplement. Though these nutritional issues can also occur in meat eaters and vegetarians, vegans are statistically at more risk. Deficiencies are very easily avoided though, and with supplements (which can be bought very cheaply in developed nations) it can be a great deal healthier than the western diet.

What meals do you cook?

[@MagnumCarta]

@@patricianicole8628 Vegan of 7 years here. Here are some of my suggestions: Breakfast - Fried potatoes w/ onions and peppers. Bake the potato in a microwave using the baked potato option (DON'T forget to pierce the potato with a fork or it WILL explode in the microwave). Meanwhile saute onions in a skillet over medium heat with some vegetable oil for 5-6 minutes (until the onion becomes translucent and starts to brown), then add in your peppers and some garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then gently remove the onions, peppers, and garlic from the oil. Dice up your potato and then add it to the pan. Cook for about 8-10 minutes and check one potato to see if it is brown. If so, flip your potatoes and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Add the onions, peppers, and garlic back in and gently mix. Then serve with ketchup and/or hot sauce. Lunch - Ramen w/ frozen vegetables. The Top Ramen soy sauce flavor and chili flavor are both vegan! I usually get the soy sauce flavor. It's in a blue wrapper. Cook as per the instructions and then add in some frozen veggies. Your choice which ones to go for but usually I'll go for frozen green beans, broccoli, and carrot. Cook for a few minutes just to heat up the veggies and then serve. If you can find some vegan potstickers like Ling Ling vegetable potstickers (they don't use eggs so this is vegan!), those are also great to add in. Dinner - Red lentil dal / masoor dal. So many recipes online for this so I won't detail it out in full detail but red lentils cook in about 20 minutes. They are filling and go great over rice. That's just a couple of simple vegan recipes that I routinely make that are filling and pretty nutritious. :)

Yeah. I mainly watched this video out of curiosity because I eat meat all the time. My approach to eating healthy and minimizing my environmental impact is just to source my food correctly. I get my milk delivered by a local company, I get my veggies through Imperfect Foods, and I get my meat from a butcher that sources from local, grass-fed farms. The solution to fixing the meat industry isn't everyone going vegan, it's just everyone learning not to buy their food from Tyson, although respect to the people who are willing to fully commit to a vegan diet. Just doesn't work for everyone and can be extremely unhealthy if done incorrectly.

​A lot of people miss the point of what Veganism is all about. Not only should we be vegan, we should start working towards finding ways to take nice creatures out of torment because it's an act of kindness and a display of our character. Those who embrace torture usually end up being tortured. Those who embrace love will inherit it. It's a choice of how you wish to be treated. In addition to being a vegan, I always want to try to find ways to take these creatures out of torment. When I saved my dog from being ran over by a semi, and then I took him in and gave him a home, that was an act of love. All of my life, I've owned dogs. When I was a small child, I had a dog that actually did save my life. She was so beautiful and I still miss her. I don't embrace any hate because I choose love instead! This is the message that all vegans should be sending. The evil ones interpret that as us saying that we're sacrifices for them, but we should never be. We should defend ourselves intelligently as an act of protest against something or someone harming us. We are NOT sacrifices, but we ARE beings who choose love INSTEAD of hate. This is the message I want to send with the way I live my life! NEVER view yourself as being a sacrifice for anyone or anything because that gets us no place! Instead, defend yourself when it is necessary, but never be an aggressor. We're NOT sacrifices. We are objectors who only embrace love!
