So vegan update for anyone interested, I started going vegan a little under a month ago for health reasons. When I say I’m going vegan I mean I’m going mostly plant based on occasion I will have some pasta but mostly plant based since I have PCOS any kind of carbs aren’t really good for me.
So at first and still now until I can figure out how to get all of my daily needs, I am having a “meat meals”. A “meat meal” is where I have, my dinners mostly, contain some kind of meat so I go get low vitamins or b12 or anything like that. I have cut it down to mostly 2-3 meals a week like this since I’m still super new and don’t want to send my body into shock or cause any kinds of problems since I am still a SAHM and taking care of a toddler when you don’t feel good sucks.
My husband is super supportive in my decision to become vegan and has decided he wants to have a more plant based life style as well! Which is so exciting for me because I have a support system. And he helps me learn what is/isn’t vegan also which is really helpful when trying to shop with a toddler.
We also live in a small town but thankfully we have two grocery stores and a local farmers market we can check out and get good deals on veggies and fruits. Before hurricane Irma we check out our local one and even with having three venders they have a good selection of different things. Like homemade sauces, dressings and soaps I really enjoyed it.
I have tried finding some meat replacements but honestly out of the four I’ve tried I’ve only liked one, the orange Mandarin chick’n. Which taste amazing even my husband loved it and said we should get more of them. Tofu is not my cup of tea. Maybe I didn’t cook it correctly but I will definitely not be cooking it that way again lol I don’t know if I’ll even try it again but maybe.
I am looking forward to trying more vegan foods and getting healthier while I do it. This is different from anything I’ve tried in the past but makes me feel better. I’ve always loved veggies since I was younger so I knew it wouldn’t be very hard to transition. Well I hope everyone who reads this enjoyed it and maybe decided to try something new
Always,
Victoria
