@@StevieKixI am a massive curry fan, so that’s by far favourite types of dishes to make ☺️ I have several recipes, so such for curry on gittemary.com 💚🌿
I went vegetarian 17 years ago and then went vegan. It's been about 10 years now, and it's all great...except for cheese. I'm French 😁I can go for weeks being very good at not eating any, and then I will have cravings and eat some again (not just a bit...a lot!). Would you have any tips for managing to stay off cheese?
@@elysabethserre4964 There are vegan specialty cheeses like brie, you could try those out. I detest cheese and the vegan ones my vegan friends eat smell like the real deal 😂
I cannot go fully plant-based due to a gene mutation from a chronic illness that makes me not able absorb plant-based iron and B12 almost at all and supplements don't work well either. That said, I'm seeing a dietician every few months and plan meals in a way that would allow me to do a lot of plant-based options while still getting enough iron and B12 from animal sources and doing a few iron infusions throughout the year. If anyone's in the same boat as me, don't feel bad for not going fully vegan or plant-based, just do what you can and what your body can withstand - it's still miles better than doing nothing. I even managed to convert my very meat-loving husband to eating a lot more plant-based meals throughout the week. He didn't know how much he would love tempeh until I sneakily used it in an Asian stirfry instead of the usual chicken. ☺
I wish plant-based meat would have a sticker saying "tastes like meat" or "doesn't taste like meat" - I went plant-based because I really dislike the taste and structure of meat and eating something that resembles it too much is not enjoyable for me :| Of course for others it would also be beneficial if they are looking for something that is more "meaty"
I don't know if I can go fully animal-product-free (I tend to feel a little worse), and I don't know that I even really want to (I love cheese and many meats). But I absolutely can eat LESS animal products. I eat way less of them than I used to. A big thing that helped me was getting a cookbook that focused on meatless recipes. I grew up eating meat with just about every meal, and like most people who grew up that way, I had the problem of struggling to create meat-free meals that a) felt like a *meal* and not just a few random side dishes and b) kept me adequately full until the next meal time. The cookbook I bought has really helped. It has a lot of different meals that feel like proper entrees and keep me feeling full. It has helped me and my husband cut down our meat consumption quite a bit.
Due to hypothyroidism and various deficiencies ( b12, iron, d ) and intolerance ( soy and its products, goitrogens) I cannot follow a completely vegan diet , nor do I want to endanger my health to do so. Instead, I include more vegetables ( i eat them almost twice every single day) fruit and seeds in my diet along with animal products. It works for me quite well. What I am trying to do sustainably is buying the food necessary for my meals only ( i have a clinical diet with an expert). I restock when I run out. And many food types, such as bread, we bake at home. I hope this is sustainable, I am trying to gravitate towards other aspects in my life that I can do more of a change
I was vegetarian from 12-18. Then I “came back with a vengeance” according to my dad lol. Then at 19 I was back on the veg train. I’m 31 now, I eat meat (via Taco Bell or pub nachos) maybe once a month or so when I’m pmsing, but other times I’m accidentally vegan for months and months with no animal products.
The moment i moved out from my parents was the moment i went mostly vegetarian. Meat is just to expensiv and kind of annoying bc you can cook it wrong and it‘s dry or raw…. Not really good for someone who isn‘t that experienced in cookinh😂 i also just plant based milk bc milk is kinda gross to me. But sadly that‘s the reason i have low ironlevels but i‘m just to buisy and all over the place to remember to take my ironpills😅🥲
This was my case, I was always iron deficient when I was an omnivore. However, a year after becoming plant-based, my iron and hemoglobin levels became optimal for the first time. I make sure to eat one or two servings of legumes every day and to eat fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C. Plant based is the best I have done for animal welfare, my health and our environment
Questions about a plantbased diet ? - shoot 🌿💚🫶
This video came at the perfect time! I was just telling my partner how i wanted to go vegan. What is your favorite easy vegan dish?

THIS 🌿🫶 do what you can, exactly, not everyone can go 100% plantbased but everyone can reduce, and that is so valid as well 💚

Okay I would absolutely love that (maybe it’s a bit subjective but still) I love it’s very different how “realistic” they want their vegan protein 🫶👀

Remember kids, you can also go vegetarian before you go full vegan.

5:19 what is that? It looks tasty :o Is there a recipe anywhere?
It’s homemade seitan, and yes I have recipes, both in my website and on Instagram ☺️
Oh ye, no one ever cared about animals more than a meateater telling me I accidentaly ate/bought non vegan product 🙄
