These are meals i made myself and love
*Whole wheat flour tortilla, add fresh avocado puree first then add bite size raw broccoli and leaves of fresh lettuce. Eat with a side of kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, etc your choice.
*Whole wheat pasta boiled, get one tomato and a clove of garlic and puree it. Put the tomato puree on the stove with a little olive oil until it's fully cooked. Add the sauce to the pasta and add other veggies you'd like. I add steamed broccoli.Any good vegan recipes?
You need to make sure you eat pulses at least three times a week and fruits and vegetables everyday.
Have a fruit for breakfast and a vegetable/pulses for lunch and dinner.
Make sure you include all vegetables,pulses,lentils and beans(kidney beans,chickpeas,black eyed peas,green peas and many more)
Don't eat mock meat as soybean as mock meat contains sodium and soybean is bad for health( http://rheumatic.org/soy.htm ).
Mock meat is also soy based so too much soy can be bad for health.
Actually even a little soy is bad for health.
What's wrong with soya?
Soy beans are naturally toxic to humans, but they're harmless when they go through a fermentation process, which is how we get tofu. But soy is being used in more and more things these days.
Just look through your cabinet. You'll be surprised. Anyway, most companies aren't putting their soy beans through this process because it takes too much time, and time = money. Instead, they put it through a chemical process, but this rarely gets rid of the soy's toxicity completely. Symptoms of a high soy diet are thyroid problems, breast cancer, and other complications. People get these symptoms because they soy they eat isn't fermented.
Mock meat can never be part of a staple diet(food what you eat everyday).
You can may be have it once or twice a month.
Its a luxury and not a need.
You need to consume naturally occurring fruits,vegetables,pulses,nuts and grains.
Make something like rice and bread your staple diet.
You can have rice with vegetables for lunch and bread with pulses for dinner(or you can do it whichever way you like though that's the way I do it).
You can have fruits for breakfast besides something else. You will get all vitamins and minerals from fruits,vegetables,pulses and nuts. Also,don't fall for the myth that says vegans/vegetarians need to take multivitamin supplements. Vegans/vegetarians don't need to take supplements as they get all their nutrients from fruits,vegetables and pulses. Supplements are supposed to be taken by people with deficiencies so do not take them unless they have been prescribed to you by a doctor.
