Mix in with a little avocado dressing (avo, lemon juice, water, pinch of salt) and there you go ❤️ Taste and texture bomb.

Small changes count. If you are not sure where to start, start now with one thing. And then make another change and another change until you regain your health. First change? Remove animal products, don’t focus on oil, starches, sugar, fats. Just start with removing meat, fish, dairy, and then when you are in a good rhythm try limiting or removing oil. And so on. What is food poisoning? “Food Poisoning” is primarily caused by eating animal foods and vegetable oils”. -Dr. John McDougall @themcdougallprogram #healthjourney #inspiration #nutritionmatters #wellness #starchsolution #plantbasedliving #carblover #healthyeating #oilfree #realfood #mcdougalldiet #themcdougallprogram #wfpb #wfpbdiet #wfpbweightloss #weightlossjourney #oilfree #oilfreevegan #highcarblowfatvegan #highcarb #highcarblowfat

Indian Feast These are tried and true recipes that I return to regularly. They call for mostly pantry ingredients and are impressive without being labor-intensive. I served over basmati rice that I made with the broccoli soup last night. Palak Tofu Paneer https://www.veganricha.com/palak-tofu-tofu-in-spinach-curry-vegan/ #recipe * I bake the tofu without oil ** I use soy milk & cashews (amts as written) *** I blend all the sauce ingredients WITHOUT spinach, transfer to a pot to simmer out the raw garlic flavor. Then I return to the blender with the spinach. Then back to the pot with the baked tofu to heat through. This keeps the spinach bright green and *much* more appealing. Chana Masala https://cleanfooddirtygirl.com/why-i-happily-eat-chocolate-almost-everyday-oil-free-chana-masala-chickpea-curry/ *I used tinned tomatoes Onion Chutney https://thecinnamonjar.com/indian-onion-chutney-recipe-for-poppadoms/ I buy the poppadoms at an Indian grocery and air fry without oil.

Broccoli ‘Cheddar’ Soup This is a staple for us. It’s also an excellent cheese sauce recipe and great for using in casseroles. You can double the recipe and only use 1/2 for the soup, reserving what you wish before you add broccoli to kill 2 birds with one stone. It’s great with rice or diced potatoes if you have hungry people who need more bulk. https://www.connoisseurusveg.com/vegan-broccoli-cheese-soup/ #wprm-recipe-container-13885 #highcarblowfatvegan #wholefoodvegan #starchsolution #plantstrong #lowcaloriedensity #lowcaloriedensitychallenge #fiber #fiberfueled #starch #starchivore #mcdougalling #eatmoretoweighless #veganweightloss #healthy #healthyeating #healthyfood #hownottodiet #hownottodie

Sharing a list of things that I prep almost every week. Prep is the one thing that keeps me from walking to my fridge, opening the doors, and just staring into the abyss. With a few basics cooked and available to quickly grab I can throw together a lot of different meals! This is just a habit and fits into my busy and active lifestyle but this was not always the case. I have to put the work in, every week, no excuses. Lack of discipline and willpower exist but consistency, prep, and routines will significantly help combat this. This is one more thing on your to do list one day of the week, prep takes an hour but it will take away hours of work later in the week. #healthjourney #inspiration #nutritionmatters #wellness #starchsolution #plantbasedliving #carblover #healthyeating #oilfree #realfood #mcdougalldiet #themcdougallprogram #wfpb #wfpbdiet #wfpbweightloss #weightlossjourney #oilfree #oilfreevegan #highcarblowfatvegan #highcarb #highcarblowfat

Fruits don't heal the body. They enable healing. The body requires time and energy to heal. Fruits digest the fastest of all foods giving the body the time it needs away from digestion, which requires a huge amount of energy. Fruits, berries and melons are also the the highest vibration, highest energy foods on the planet. They give the body strength while providing energy to heal. Fruits contain amino acids (the building blocks that make protein in the body), essential fatty acids (not fats or oils which the body does not require) and simple sugars (carbohydrates) which the body needs to thrive. The astringent properties in fruits enable them to break up thick, hardened mucus and lymph and visibly move it out of the body. The body must get rid of weak, dying and dead cells in order to rebuild and replace them with new, healthy cells. In fact, fruits will help your body regenerate brain and nerve tissue, whereas vegetables will not. Hope this post inspired you to eat more fruit! 🍉🍇🍌🥭🍒🫐🥝 #gofruityourself #plantbasedcoach #weightlosscoaching #vegan #fruitarian #frugivor #fruitbaseddiet #rawtill4 #healthcoachtips #healthcoah #holistichealingcoach #healthylifestylecoach #detoxification #foodasmedicine #transformationcoach #ladypreneur #guthealth #guthealingfood #highcarblowfatvegan #weightlossfoods #weightlossfoodideas #holistichealingcoach #detox #healthyeatinghabits #cleaneating #detoxtips #detoxfood #detoxguide #detoxcoach #healyourbody #healyourguthealyourlife

POTATOES = LEAN 🌱🌱 THE MAGIC FOOD FOR MAX WEIGHT LOSS! Unlike what you’re led to believe potatoes are the enemy ‘CARBS MAKE YOU FAT’ goes the saying! The is one of the biggest misconceptions of all time! Potatoes are a whole complex carbohydrates! Carbs actually don’t make you fat! The opposite, carbs DON’T TURN TO FAT! We burn carbs for energy, humans are extremely inefficient at storing carbs as fat! We burn carbs for energy, our bodies preferred sauce of fuel! If we don’t burn the carbs off we store them as glycogen in our muscles for energy we may need later. And then if we don’t use the stored energy, thermogenesis happens- our body heats up and burns it right off! Carbs especially potatoes create max weight loss results! They’re low in calorie density, high in volume, filling you to keep you full & satisfied for hours. They’re the most satiating food on the planet (satiety Index study) They contain huge amounts of fibre, balancing our hormones and repairing our gut health! Do you know potatoes are complete proteins? Comment below 👇 If you ate your daily calories in potatoes you’d eat your daily requirements!! All whole complex carbs are amazing for weight loss but potatoes are particularly magic 🪄 Build your plates 50 % potatoes & 50 % non-starchy veg or fruit for maximum weight loss results! If you’re in those last few pesky lbs then potatoes are your friend! On a side note- hunting down Hannah, Japanese & Purple sweet potatoes are a game changer!

25 lbs down & hormones balanced through a plant-based diet 🌱🌱 Rich in starches, fruits and veggies. The most incredible journey 🌱 A plant-based diet rich in starches transformed my weight & hormones. Developing a lifestyle that’s sustainable because I get to eat more to weigh less eating tons of rice, potatoes, pasta, oats, bread, beans and fruit is a dream to me! These foods allowed me to reach my goals and get LEAN! I said Goodbye to restrictive, excessive diets!! I was never able to reach my goals spending years doing fad restrictive diets! Diets which aren’t sustainable in the long term. Often putting the lbs back on and some? Does this sound familiar??????? A whole food plant-based/vegan diet focusing on starches, legumes, fruits and veggies allowed me to drop 25lbs and maintain my weight sustainably! The lifestyle allows you to eat more to weigh less 🙌🙌🙌 eat in abundance without restriction.

Roasted Poblano Potato Soup This is based on a fabulous @plantifulkiki recipe from her book Plantifully Lean. I am a maximalist when it comes to veggies, so I added some celery, pickled jalapeños with brine, mushrooms, cannellini beans, and spinach at the end. Plus the garnishes. I also use no-chicken broth & season with cumin, chili powder & oregano to taste. It’s excellent. #highcarblowfatvegan #wholefoodvegan #starchsolution #plantstrong #lowcaloriedensity #lowcaloriedensitychallenge #fiber #fiberfueled #starch #starchivore #mcdougalling #eatmoretoweighless #veganweightloss #healthy #healthyeating #healthyfood #hownottodiet #hownottodie
Post workout breakfast! I roasted some Japanese sweet potatoes last night. I think I overcooked them a little bit. But they’re still delicious! Paired them with some canned peaches in their own juice and then rinsed thoroughly and @mcdougallmom ‘s creamy pear sauce. Perfect little snack before our morning rush!

Hi, this is my new health account where I'll share about health and nutrition topics, and my journey towards healing on a fruitbased lifestyle. I'll not post fruitbased related topics on my old account anymore. My story: After almost a whole life of various health symptoms, which I was convinced was simply normal, I stumbled upon a Raw Fruitarian group on FB in early 2019. At that time, my health had reached rock bottom; Except for all the health issues I had since childhood, such as IBS, severe prediabetic symptoms, fibromyalgia-like pain on muscles and bones, bad knees, blepharitis and dry eyes, constant yeast infections and UTI:s etc.. .. ON TOP of that, during 2017-2019 my body also started to "create" sinusitis everytime I caught a cold (every other month), as well as deeper muscles and bone pain. Sinusitis is similar to migranes and all the muscles on face, cheeks qnd forehead are in pain. I had quit dairy and most processed foods between 2012-2015(dairy was one big contributor to my problems, like IBS, colds,), and then reintroducing it in 2015 again 🙈 big mistake. But we're here to learn aren't we? By 2018, my body felt so swollen, I was choking of all the mucus qnd in early 2018 I had one of the worst colds and sinusitis of my life. I couldn't find peace, I couldn't even lay down and relax bc of the pain. That's when I started to learn about face lymph massage, and could feel all the knots and blockages across the forehead, the eyebrows, between the eyes. All in all, lymph and energy were not flowing. Lymph massage helped aliviate the pain. Now, 3,5 years after going fruitbased, I haven't had a single cold except once in February 2022 that lasted like 2-3 days, and, the most important part, WITHOUT sinusitis. I haven't experience that horrific pain anymore, I left that behind. Although I still feel blockages and swollen lymph when doing lymph massage, but I assume it's a sign it's started to loosen up after all the fruit water ingested. Also, my IBS, prediabetic symptoms, UTIs, yeast infections are all gone. Symptoms can come back if I ingest something that my body doesn't tolerate , like bread. Continued in comments

What I eat in a day, December I’ve been eating melon all day recently, it tastes so sweet and delicious! After melon I’ll usually make a date drink with mixed frozen berries, it hits the spot every time! Maybe more melon after this.. And for dinner a really big salad, I’m trying to eat a head of iceberg a day :) When I see the cooked food my family eats I want to eat it and I think why am I making my life difficult my eating so simply and mostly raw?! And so I eat more melon or make a date drink and I remember just how darn good fruit tastes!! And how great it makes me feel. I hope you all have a fruitful day 🍓🍇🍎🥒🥬 #rawveganuk #rawveganfood #whatieatinadayvegan #highcarblowfatvegan #healingautoimmunedisease #veganuk
