Just to give people an idea of what a diet change looks like, I will more than frequently just tell you what I'm eating. This might be boring to some people, but I know I am always grateful for the ideas on other diet and vegan blogs, so hopefully this will help others.
Today's lunch was a sandwhich, pretty standard. Mine had a thin layer of guacamole, a thin layer of hummus, spinach leaves, cucumber slices, and onion slices. I was worried it would feel incomplete without cheese, so I threw some Daiyia fake cheddar (made with veggie protein instead) on it. Not enough to bother me if I ended up not liking it, but enough to give that faint cheddar taste. I used vegan whole wheat bread that I got at Trader Joe's, which got the roommate seal of approval as being good bread. I had coffee with lunch, and in leiu of creamer used coconut-milk based creamer which was actually even cheaper than regular creamer. I was still a little hungry even though my sandwich was kind of hearty, so I had a blood orange. These were recommended to me because they are supposed to be really good for busting both belly fat and rheumatoid arthritis if eaten as a regular part of your diet. I haven't been doing it long enough to know if it works, but I love them anyway! I'd never had one before but the color fascinated me. I kept squeezing them to see them bleed! It helps that they were super delicious as well, really sweet and not overly citrus-y. I also decided to take my multi vitamin with lunch so I wouldn't forget. I actually really enjoyed everything. My only complaint was actually my coffee, and it had nothing to do with the creamer. We acquired a cinnamon flavored coffee and the cinnamon taste is a bit overwhelming if you don't use enough creamer; since creamer still has a lot of sugar, I didn't use much.
So, that's my lunch for today! Hope it gave someone else some ideas! Thanks for reading.
