I just joined my wife with her Vegan lifestyle, and have lost 17 lbs in less than a month, I would like to keep this weight loss up and stay on the diet/fast possibly turning my eating habits around for good. Anyone have any good advice, recipes, snacks, etc. for a curious VeganWhat are some easy and filling foods for someone on a Vegan Diet to eat?
Think fiber and protein. Tofu is excellent and one of the most versatile foods I have ever discovered and a breakfast of scrambled tofu with bell peppers, jalapenos, onion, and a sprinkling of nutritional yeast will keep me going all day.
I'll also make fried rice with tofu, turmeric, falafel seasoning, sage, or whatever I feel like throwing in the skillet with some rice (even cinnamon and sugar sometimes) because it makes a quick and filling meal at work.
Legumes are probably one of the best examples. Protein and fiber all in one. You can mix up some (drained) cans of kidney beans, black beans, and chickpeas (garbanzo beans) with some pasta and a vegan Italian dressing for a great meal, and even throw some veggies in it. Plus it's versatile enough to be served as a warm meal (say, with some broccoli thrown in) or as a pasta salad (maybe with a little corn and, still, broccoli).
Nuts and fruit are great, also, as well as oatmeal. I like the organic Irish style oatmeal because it's thicker. You can eat it plain or with berries or, better yet, some peanut butter and honey.
Acorn squash is also very filling, and there's some excellent recipes out there for it at vegweb.com and other places as well.
So, basically, get protein and fiber in one sitting and you'll be full and energized.What are some easy and filling foods for someone on a Vegan Diet to eat?
I know broccoli is very filling. Perhaps you could have some sort of broccoli or cauliflower dish with breadcrumbs.What are some easy and filling foods for someone on a Vegan Diet to eat?
