Dangers of Extreme Dieting

Let's address the concerns some have with a plant-based diet. It is not to be confused with any version of an extreme dietary agenda that is not suitable for your health. Plant-based veganism is an evolutionary way of life. It takes time and dedication to commit to such a journey. If you are a person with diagnosed sickness please ask your doctor or consult with a dietician plus nutrtionist for adequate day-to-day meal planning. Some fitness instructors + herbalists are trained in nutrition and can provide a holistic meal plan or fitness regimen for your holistic needs. Consulting with any one who is not a medical professional is at your own risk. Please proceed with caution if you have serious health concerns or conditions.  
If you are overly stressed or having financial difficulty with your preferred dietary lifestyle you can always pause and start again when you are better prepared. 

A raw living foods diet is different from a cooked plant-based vegan diet. Committing to a raw fruitarian lifestyle can be dangerous for some. Please make periodical check up appointments with your doctor and nutritionist regarding your health status and nutritional profile. Raw dieting is still very experimental. There is not a lot of conclusive scientific evidence available for you. There are people who report their personal experiences with a raw vegan diet and you must follow up with any medical resources to ensure that you are eating and receiving enough nutrition in your diet. Providing your body with more fresh fruits and vegetables everyday is the optimal goal. There are many elements that are involved in a raw living foods lifestyle and it is important to note that financial availability is most important to maintain nutrition standards and to not starve yourself half the week just because you have spent all of your money on raw fruit groceries only. A raw fruitarian diet can cost you <4x's more than your basic plant food diet. 

Over time humans have adapted to consuming nuts, grains, seeds, beans and legumes to maintain a nutritonal diet filled with variety. Your mind and body is adjusted to this nutritonal variety and must be made available in a raw living foods diet as well. Grains, beans, and legumes are normally not included in a raw living foods diet and these are a few of the main staples in substituting for meat eating due to the high nutritonal profile, global convenience, and economical pricing of these items. This makes general plant-based veganism relatively easier and more affordable which includes both raw living foods and cooked plant food options. So you can still enjoy (meat-less) pasta dishes, steamed veggies and rice, lentil soup or three bean- soup, rice cakes, bread &, more. Simply balance out your fruit eating for most of the day and be sure to add more nutrients to your fruit drinks or smoothies for insured nutritional meal planning. 

My suggestion is to include plant-based veganism as the first substitute for meat eating. If you eat only fruit your body will initially adjust but you will not have many calories available for the body as needed long term. The body operates in a caloric surplus mode from week to week to maintain it's energy for operating sufficiently and breaking down nutrients plus performing physical tasks from day to day. It is not recommended that you consume less than 1000 calories per day for long periods of time. On average you need 1500 - 2500 calories daily to function. This is not about protein which is naturally included in a dietary caloric count. Calories as a whole is what dictate the amount of energy you have available to burn and then you simply replenish the body with more calories. Water does not provide calories to your body but can help flush your system from toxins. So if you are water fasting you must not do that for a prolonged period of time or at all because it is dangerous without nutritonal meal planning. Juice feasting is a popular feature on a plant-based diet. Please ensure that you are drinking enough calories for the day. Eating less calories per day for healing or weight loss is at your own risk. Do not continue for long periods of time without medical advice because juice feasting is a liquid diet that may or may not be beneficial for your particular health condition. Extreme dieting can take a toll on your mental well-being so please work with a medical health professional for check-ups guidance and advisement.

Protein Propaganda. You Don't Need it

Image
Habitual meat eaters have been programed to eat animals for their protein count but this is a pretty inaccurate meal planning strategy. First off if you count the amount of meat consumed and over indulgence you will most definitely eat an excess amount of protein. Secondly, protein is not the reason Carnivorous creatures eat other animals. Animals are eating other animals for fat content! Protein is simply a nutritional marker for food items. Expressing an amplified nutrtion profile for the food content.  Usually when there is a higher protein there is also high fat content. Fat, protein and carbohydrates are not isolated factors to place so much emphasis on individually. Food for energy and sustonance. Animal protein contains far more protein than the human body needs and is used by the body for storage. Meat eating will definitively slow your metabolism down decreasing your energy. Some place emphasis on a "no carb" diet in some cases but starchy carbohydrates s...

Vegan On the Go

Veganism is basically the same as any diet you are simply eliminating animal proteins and opting for plant - based protein meals. So however you were on the go before is pretty much the same with a few acceptions and minor shifts. So if you are use to ordering a morning cup of joe you now ask for the plant milk option instead of using cow milk. Plant milk options usually include oat milk, almond milk, soy milk or coconut milk.  If you happen to stop by your favorite restaurant you can comb through the veggie options and customize your meal. Side veggie dishes or fresh salad are usually an easy go to. You may want to bring a long a little sea salt and pure olive oil to ensure flavour. A cup of veganized coffee can hold you to your next veggie meal through out the day. Stop by a fruit market and pick up 5 of your favorite fruits and snack away plus grab some plant based dairy yogurt (such as almond, soy, or coconut yogurt) and you are set for the day until you...

Such a warming dish of  sweetened sweet potatoes also known as "yams" has always been a favorite side dish. Pair sweet potatoes with beans and nuts for sweet and savory protein meals.
