I have a few friends who have adopted vegan/vegetarian eating habits & claim it's been great for them. Just wanted to get some tips & recipe ideas since I'm trying to transition that way.
Any specific ideas on how to maintain variety, but also a decent level & balance of protein to other nutrients? I go to the gym regularly & don't want by blood sugar to drop is all.
Plus, I'd love to hear your stories, insight, etc!
It's actually not that difficult to maintain a healthy intake of protein on a vegan diet because so much vegan food contains chickpeas, lentils, quinoa, edamame etc.
I've got a lovely recipe for vegan lasagne somewhere, I'll see if I can dig it out and share it on here.
@Decieven There are loads of vegan recipes for stuff like that! Really delicious veggie pies, pasta dishes, Indian dishes, thick stews and casseroles and plenty more! I was vegan for ten years and the only thing I missed was cheese - apart from that, I was able to find satisfying replacements for everything I enjoyed when I ate meat (I'm vegetarian now because I really love cheese )
