Plant Based/Vegan Diet

Baggervance

Hi Folks,

I'm 5 weeks into trying a plant based/vegan diet and would be interested in hearing from anyone on the spectrum who has tried this.

I have no problem giving up meat but have never been a great fan of vegetables or salad due to texture & taste so finding it quite challenging.

I've always been fit & healthy so haven't noticed any real change in how I feel but flatulence is a big problem (just as well that I'm an aspie & have no friends)

Parents

  • I am vegan for the animals, I went veggie first but had already cut down on meat (because of the texture).

    Is it the texture of both cooked and uncooked vegetables that you don't like? I have a non autistic friend who only likes raw veg. You could also blend vegetables into tomato sauce for pasta, there is also meat substitutes that you can eat (I don't eat those very much and there are only a few types that I will eat).
