Plant Based
When I refer to Plant Based Diet I mean that the majority of
your food comes from plant sources. At the very least 51% plants and 49%
animals. HOWEVER, I am in absolutely NO WAY, advocating or supporting any diet
that is less than 90% or less plants. Personally, I support and follow a 95%
plant based diet with the rest being animal products.
Protein
Everyone is so concerned about getting protein from plant
based sources. Personally, I never count protein nor do I see food sources as
protein, carbs, or fats. Food is nutrients PERIOD!!! I’ve been eating plant
based foods for over 10 years and if I had a lack of protein problem I would
obviously feel it and it would reflect in my sports performance. I can
guarantee you that plant foods have enough protein. There is nothing to worry
about.
There’s no shortage of protein coming from plants…PERIOD!!!
Combining Foods
I combine my foods to include grains, vegetables, and
fruits. I really enjoy dressings such as mayo or oils to increase calories and
satiety. Add as much variety as possible to include different flavors, textures
but most importantly make sure that you are enjoying the foods you eat. If you’re
not then chances are you won’t stick to it very long. This morning, I ate 2
slices of toast with non-dairy non-hydrogentated butter spread with apricot
jam. Then later I had a banana with peanut butter. Personally, I can eat the
whole peanut butter jar if I could.
In closing, plant based eating should be enjoyable for you.
I’ve never gone to a party where food was being served and never did I see
anyone put down tasty delicious food because it was only plant based. If taste
is the key then plants can deliver. Plant based diets will give you everything
you need: nutrients, calories, life and benefits everyone, our Mother Earth,
our beautiful creatures, our plants and no one has to die.
