What are your best healthy eating habits?
I have been through many iterations of eating in a lifetime as we learn something new all the time. I remember when I was new to running and found 50 miles a week. Pasta was king.
Now it is a mostly empty calories. Just an example how things change.
Being Vegan
Yes there is Vegan Junk food. On Friday I had a Vegan faux fish sandwich that wasn’t all that healthy and in retrospect not all that great. But we were at the hospital all afternoon.
For The Most Part
This is not unsolicited advice but what I try to do.
- Stay away from processed foods
- Obviously I eat no animal products
- I do eat a ton of soups. I make delicious soups
- Try to keep snacks out of the house. Having grandkids skews that equation.
- I cook on most days. My meals are as good as restaurants.
- We belong to a CSA and we get to try different vegetables.
- As a vegan Nutritional yeast is you friend
I am not Vegan for health reasons, rather for environmental and ethical reasons. Yes some meat product taste better than their vegan counterparts. but the world does not revolve around me.
I would love to hear you opinion as well
