xoxox to you, Irene!
Anna, ...Thank you, Jess! :)<br /><br />xoxox to you, Irene! <br /><br />Anna, thank you *so* much! I don't get bored easily with my food, either, tend to eat the same breakfast and sometimes lunch each day, dinner varies. I do need some go-to meals that I can cook ahead and freeze, takes the stress out of dinner time. Congrats on your weight loss, that is awesome!!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295184242792867847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623535428124438689.post-44101891249675443022012-06-02T00:20:12.829-04:002012-06-02T00:20:12.829-04:00McDougall is essentially what I'm doing as wel...McDougall is essentially what I'm doing as well. When I first went vegan I was relying way too much on vegan meat and dairy substitutes - these things aren't much better for you than the animal foods they replace! I have eliminated most of those now - though I occasionally use a vegan sausage, more often than not I'll make them myself so I know what's in them.<br /><br />I don't drink chardonnay, but I do like to go out for lunch with my hubby once a week, so that's my cheat (meaning it's a higher-fat meal than McDougall would approve of, but it's still vegan). Other than that once weekly indulgence, I eat a lot of Oats, Sweet Potatoes, Beans, Lentils and sometimes pasta. I'm losing steadily each week and the best part of it for me is my blood sugar stabilised and I no longer have any cravings! I love that! Seriously - no more feeling hungry an hour after I ate - heck, no more feeling hungry at all, really!<br /><br />One McDougall tip that really works for me is to limit variety, eating the same thing every day for one or even two meals. I tend to do that - starting every day with oats, and a second meal is generally a lentil soup or stew with plenty of veggies. The final meal of the day generally varies between 4 to 6 favourite comfort foods. I don't get bored because I LOVE these foods, and I'm losing weight too. :)<br /><br />By the way, I just watched an excellent McDougall video that explains why Starch is the main food humans were designed to eat, I highly recommend it: http://youtu.be/4XVf36nwrawAnna Down Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261064688662047192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623535428124438689.post-70663755934688171032012-06-01T19:37:51.503-04:002012-06-01T19:37:51.503-04:00Fingers crossed for you, love!
