Changing my ways

  I don’t know if you have been eating SAD until now, or if you were vegan before or… But anyway, if you were SAD you can think now in a different way, “large salads/wraps, fresh fruit/smoothies and nuts/seeds/fat” instead of “meat and 2 veggies”. If you were vegan try to think that now you are going to eat large portions of fresh raw stuff instead of cooked. There are some things that cannot be eaten just raw, you can’t make a raw bean casserole, but you can sprout legumes and use in salads.

  Two things that have helped me:

  Think about what CAN i eat (and not what i CAN’T)

  Make gourmet recipes just when i have time or when i really like to uncook, most time i eat as fresh and unprocessed as possible.

  Welcome and good luck, let us know how are you doing!

  Thanks to everyone who responded! The advice was very helpful. I’m at a bit of an advantage, because I never used to cook, so there aren’t any bad habits to break. Everything I ate was restaurant food, so it’s been a little harder not getting that instant gratification. However, I am wowing my friends and myself just making my own almond milk, so who knows what the food prep future will bring. :D

  I started out making almond milk, but didn’t like dealing with all the almond pulp left over, so I’ve switched to hemp milk, and it’s wonderful! Less pulp, and very tasty, plus it’s got lots of essential fats.
