A Vegan Adventure - Day 13

1/14/2014

0 Comments

 
It seems that this "vegan thing" is finally starting to get easier. I've begun experimenting with my own recipes as oppose to following the diet plan step by step. This has allowed a lot more freedom in the sense of eating what I have available instead of running to the grocery store every few days. For those considering the 21 day challenge I would advise you to keep with the plan fairly strictly for the first week or so in order to get an idea of what kinds of foods you should be eating, portion sizes, nutrition, etc. However after this first week and a half I've found fun in experimenting with quinoa dishes, healthy popcorn tricks, and vegetable/fruit smoothies.

Here's a a few interesting facts I came across in a recent health magazine (by Hallelujah Acres):
Did you know?!?
For those who think that meat is better for your bones and muscles than vegetables, a recent study found the following results when comparing these foods in 100-calorie portions...
Picture
Broccoli

Has 2X as much protein as steak!
Picture
Romaine Lettuce

Has 11X as much iron as steak!
Picture
Kale

Has 204x as much calcium as steak!
Picture
Sirloin Steak

Has 550% more cholesterol than any of these!
(5.5mg versus 0mg)

Self-Evaluation

I am feeling great!
  1. Physical--No noticeable changes (yet).
  2. Emotional--I have been feeling optimistic and motivated!
  3. Mental--Relatively alert, feeling very 'clear-minded'.
  4. Energy--Surprisingly a lot (considering I am functioning on 4-5 hours of sleep)!
  5. Digestion--Good.
