i love how realistic this is! Most people are like "hey i had one slice of toast for breakfast, a smoothie for lunch and tofu and veggies for dinner" and i'm sitting here like.... that's one meal, not 3 😂

[@katgreer6113]

How is it unrealistic for people to eat that little? I guess westerners really do eat big portions.

[@brennathecatlover4360]

That’s 3 meals for me since I eat small lol like really small

[@brennathecatlover4360]

@@katgreer6113 I eat small haha

[@Sdority905]

I used to think that that was very little, but the last month I have been gluten free and dairy free. I'm realizing that because I eat so many more veggies and also lentils and things with lots of fiber that I get fuller faster. I think my appetite got smaller and I stay fuller faster. It's pretty cool to see that change. So now I can totally believe that toast, smoothie and tofu veggies can be a full day's meals. It's really a matter of what type of bread you get and what do you put on the bread, and what do you put in the smoothie. If you have lots of fiber, protein, and different vitamins then for sure it will fill you up.

Friday Rice paper bacon seems to be THE THING of this year. I have to finally give it a go :D Also, you breakfast seems so delicious! Textures, flavors- just perfect (especially considering I am a savoury-brekkie person). Never eaten any proper ramen, and the one your friend made makes me feel like I am seriously missing out. Will have to find a spot or make one myself soon!

You mentioned you were new to the gluten free pancake game. I make these every morning and wanted to share because they are delicious and couldn’t be easier. Just be sure to use gluten free oats. In your vitamix, mix the following: 1 cup oats, 1 cup soy milk, 1 banana, and a sprinkle of baking powder. It’s so easy and course you can change it up and add in frozen blueberries, cinnamon, etc.

[@annettereynolds1995]

I'm a vegetarian and was doing okay until I started getting ill. By a long process of elimination, I found out I'd become gluten intolerant. I found it really limiting especially when going out to eat. But there's a lot of really good ideas here. I was just eating cereal for breakfast, and as I'm also diabetic, it wasn't lasting me until lunch. I think the avocado toast may be a good option as it has a good amount of healthy fat in it. I'm also going to try the granola, but leave out the chocolate and maple syrup.

[@claudiacuthbert]

I love these videos they’re amazing!! And also, I’m sure you’re already aware but if not, my mum is a coeliac and she can’t eat vegemite bc it’s not gluten free bc of the barley (you might be still eating barley but if not just so you know:))

Im not a nurtitionist/dietitian, but I have to ask.. What do you do for omega 3 and b12? Do you supplement? B12 can be found in fortified milks, but it is so important that you take a b12 vitamin at least a few times a week, as it is not present in plantfoods. Some vegan burgers at Woolworths have added b12 by the way. Omega 3s can be found in Hemp seeds, chia, flax, and walnuts and it is so important that you are consuming omega 3s in any diet! Some vegan doctors recommend that on top of this, taking an algae-derived (rather than fish oil) Omega 3 dha or dha/epa supplement 2-4 times a week. B12 supplements can be found in supermarkets and chemists, but Im not sure about Omega3 dha/epa being ubiquitous (I got mine from woolworths.) It is also suggested that in winter, to take a Vitamin D3 supplement, however, D2 can suffice.

[@AmandaDucks]

I get my levels checked regularly and all are perfect, I take a B12 supplement already :) x
