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)

  • Hi! I have been vegan for over 2 years now. I am not big on vegetables either, I think, even though it was scary for me, trying different things helps a lot. I found a love for hummus. My breakfast became soy milk and oats and there are lots of recipes to make vegetables taste differently. Try checking out MakeItDairyFree, they have a lot of amazing recipes. (Both healthy and unhealthy but tasty). I myself hate the bitter taste vegetables have, so I try to mask that with things like soy sauce, noodles, rice and curry or making a stew with Arabian spices. 

    Glad you are trying veganism! I hope it works out for you, you’re doing good, and if it doesn’t work out, know that even eating partly plant based helps the environment and animals out a lot all already. Good luck to you.
