đČ Yay! Our Pick Up Limes app is finally here (1-week free trial!): bit.ly/PUL_app đ
đHave you heard of the "plate method" or something similar before?
not until now, very helpful video :) loved your channel after i watched your first one
They used to have them all over the cafeteria in schools here in the US, but very helpful video regardless, thank you â€ïž
Yes by the amazing sadia đđ
Yes! Itâs very popular here in the US!
In my country, Indonesia, there is something similar called "Piring Makanku". Basically the food groups consist of starch (grains and tubers), protein sources (animal and plant derived), vegetables, fruits. The amount of vegetable in one meal should be the same as the starch. The amount of protein is half of starch, then fruit is half of vegetable.
I don't know about Canada, but the USA's government food guides are bought and paid for by various food corporations.
Lilly Dragon - I agree, that's why Sadia is so brilliant. She is a dietician and nutritionalist who is wanting to educate people in healthy eating and she really does know what she is on about. I love that she imparts her knowledge in a non preachy way and just does it because she wants to help us all get healthier. She is amazing and I have learnt so much from her.
I'm guessing that's either not the case in Canada or their influence is much less, based on the official inclusion of "or alternatives" under milk and meat
As far as I know, our Canadian Food Guide is pretty similar to the US one. The inclusion of "alternatives" is new and likely a product of public pressure.
@@Lionforaday A new Canadian food guide has been drafted and is set to be released this year. Apparently the dairy and meat industry is upset because they were refused to be met with regarding the development of the new guide and, as far as I know, dairy is no longer considered its own food group and there is an emphasis on choosing plant-based proteins. I was part of the public consultation process, though I have not seen the finished guide to be released. There have been a ton of news articles about this though if you are interested in learning more! I'm so excited!
@@star-cursed Definitely I am interested! Thanks for letting me know. Isn't this wonderful news? It's encouraging to think that special-interest groups won't be running things anymore - I like to be optimistic and think that things are changing. There definitely needs to be more choice for people who don't want to eat according to the current "guidelines," such as they are.
I love that you make veganism so accessible. I often see those vegan youtubers who eat nothing but raw fruit it seems...it turns me away from it. I am going to try it out next week thanks you all your helpful info!
Hannah Barnes you should look into challenge 22. They have nutritionalists that can help you plan your meals and it is free.
www.challenge22.com
Watch avantgardevegan and Madeleine Olivia. They are amazing and make easy recipes
so true!!!
I think people are confused what the definition of veganism is: www.vegansociety.com/go-vegan/definition-veganism (it's not a diet, it's a philosophy) She makes the plant-based diet accessible, but hardly ever speaks on animal rights and the ethics of why you ought not consume animal products. She's a dietitian, not an activist so I get it .. but she doesn't speak a vegan message.
@@om-boi i want to learn this.
I never have liked eat meat, and afther knowing what happens to animals i dont want to eat anithing that comes from an animal. I will never be vegan because i have cats but if i can change my diet i will be more calm. Im not an activist, and im not pushing anyone to do something, just me that i dont want to, and when i go visit someone they understand and are very acomodating and i in no way push someone to do the same.

I am not vegan, but I have been making your recipes because they are so delicious and I have been trying to increase my vegetable and fruit intake. Thank you for creating this awesome channel.
Thank you for being my VEGAN GURU!!! I became vegan 8 weeks ago and I feel amazing! You have been a huge help for me!
yay!! glad you're finding the material helpful, Katie â€
How do you feel differently?
She and her content are AHHHMazing!!...A true Guru indeed :)...This video was theee Epitome of a Guide for anyone, really, to implement in their particular diet...#ProudPescatarian
katievigil I am also since January 10th vegan and I couldnât be better!
I havenât had the same luck. Have to ease into it and figure out what works for me. My gut was a mess eating vegan. Even got heartburn. đ€·đ»ââïž
Loved seeing so many beautiful rainbow foods in this video! And your beautiful face too :)
I love both of your channels!!!
Aww thank you so much Alacia, so sweet of you to say!

By the way, Canada's 2019 Food Guide uses the plate method! And the classic glass of milk has been replaced with a glass of water.
Hi there,
Milk, for instance, cows milk is designed for calves as opposed to mankind. It may also contain puss and blood, which are not good to consume. Water on the other hand is the best liquid to quench one's thirst , hydrate cells and flush out germs, harmful chemicals, toxins, viruses and other pollutants.
I, personally, would recommend to adopt (even if it means making small changes here and there) a well-planned, organic, unrefined and untempered with vegan diet (consuming raw plant foods where possible so as not to denature or destroy the life-forces and enzymatic activities beneficial to the human system. If disagreeing on this matter, please take some steamed carrots, plant them and see if they will grow; if not, it is because they are 'dead' plant food that cannot benefit one's 'living' cells) consisting of organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains as it is the best diet to provide mankind with ultimate health and longevity. I do not even see a reason to use pharmaceutical supplements e.g Vitamin D is obtainable from organic chestnut mushrooms (UV exposed) and sun-dried mushrooms with the exception of the body's ability to make it (and store it for future use) when exposed to the sun; Iron from organic beets; Zinc from organic cashew nuts; potassium and magnesium from organic bananas; Omega 3 Fatty Acids (beneficial for the brain) from organic walnuts and pecans (looks like the brain and targets it).
Please avoid factory produced meat alternatives whose chief ingredient can be 'soy' and may contain preservatives as well as additives (e.g Vinegar, a corrosive agent). Food toxicity and nutrient deficiency (e.g white bread, white rice and white sugar) are a deadly combination as one is hindering the body's building materials needed to action healing whilst at the same time taxing the system with more toxic stuff, thus bringing about disease and possibly even an early death.
Best wishes

I grew up in Canada also and am really proud of our nutritional guidelines; they refused to consult with outside interests and stuck to recommendations from nutritionists and medical authorities who have studied specifically in this field. Awesome!
Nice video Sadia! I wanted to share with you a little thing. I am an Indian and in India, the plate is called "Thali". When you order a 'Thali' even in restaurants, you get something similar to what you mentioned in this video. You get curried vegetables 2 or 3 different varieties (in small portions, together they are enough as half of the plate), 1 small bowl of daal (lentils), 1 or 2 chapatis (wheat tortillas but a little small in size) and a small portion of rice. Also buttermilk or curd is served with "Thali" in order to digest everything. Same is the traditional way of eating at home. I try to eat as balanced diet as I can and also I try to implement the same for my child. But I cannot manage to make whole "Thali" (plate) for both lunch and dinner. So its managed half and half during both meals.
Again thanks for sharing the video!
Yessss
I find the recaps at the end of your 'information-intense' videos very very useful, thank you!
Good to know that, Ilona, I'll keep it up then ;) Sending lots of love â€
I first heard about the plate method in a nutrition class I took years ago. Itâs what helped me realize my stomach condition did much better when I ate more fruits and vegetables, which eventually lead me to becoming vegetarian, then to becoming fully plant based.
Thank you Sadia! I love how easily youâre able to articulate something in a short, understandable video. I also loved seeing the tasty food throughout the video!
Sadia, your videos are a dream. Every time I log in and see youâve uploaded a new one, I watch it and feel instantly inspired. And I especially love that youâre sharing your knowledge with us and doing research. I feel like I should be paying you for this service! â€ïž
You're too kind, j bean, thanks for lovely comment :D
Agreed, Iâm so grateful for this being freeâ„ïž (even though âthereâs no such thing as a free lunchâ - watching a few ads is so much better than paying). Iâm so happy Sadiaâs channel has blown up cause she truly deserves it
I totally agree

You're lucky that your guidelines specify milk and alternatives and meat and alternatives! The official guidelines I studied told that humans have to eat animal derives products to be healthy. And that delayed my transition to veganism with quite a few years... In the end I did my own research and shortly I'll celebrate my first veganiversary. And that's why I love to share veganism - to help people and to raise awareness.
Thanks for doing this amazing informative series! We need more people who support and share veganism and optimal nutrition as a vegan :)
Thanks so much for sharing this, Madalina, and for your kind words. It's very true, we were lucky to have a guideline that provided the "alternatives" as an option. Congrats on doing the research on your own though! It's more work but very commendable :) With much love â€
Thank you for being so nice! I just wish we will change something in the guidelines too, so the future nutritionists and doctors will have the opportunity to learn more about plant based nutrition :)
ethically u might be uncomfortable but naturally, nature made us meat eaters. Its not the protein that's the issue that guidlines tell u to have meat its because of B12 which is extremely important for humans without which u lose muscle, mobility n any kind of brain power; including memory lose, brain fog, overwhelming. to keep u sane n moving u need to eat meat naturally but if u dont want to then go for supplements. but its good to be conscious about what u eat n how it impacts environment n our body with least foot prints. sorry for my lack of punctuations :(
Divya Sasidharan Believe it or not, I know how important B12 is. But I was stating that it's nice to have some guidelines that acknowledge this lifestyle as a healthy one.
I was actually b12 deficient . Because of this reason I was afraid to go vegan. Even though eating animals didn't help. So I switched over to being vegan. I take a b12 supplement when ever I remember but now I feel better then ever, physically and mentally. We do not need meat! Been vegan for 2 years now! :)
Sadia, your kindness and compassion is just what I needed. Thank you.
This video is so helpful! Thank you!

I'm just amazed by the esthetics of your videos every time, It just stunning! I love your videos they are so informing and beautifully made :) thanks for sharing
Thanks so much, Maya :D â€
I always thought it would be so complicated to make sure that my meals are balanced but this video convinced me that itâs not!!! Thank you so much đ
Seriously the best nutrition and health channel out there. Thank you Sadia!
I'm so grateful to have found this CZcams Channel. Your videos are so good, providing precious advice and with a kindness and goodwill that is so pleasant to witness. Thank you so much for this !
Can't stop myself from posting a second comment.. The video is so colorful.. Just makes you so happy.. And you look Soooooo beautiful.. Thanks for making my morning Soooooo goood
I've used this method for a long time now....ever since I was erroneously diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. (I have type 1....long story, but lost down to 98 pounds and still needed insulin). I find it really helpful to have a simple visual. I've also studied nutrition (on my own, not at university) for years. Love learning!
What a great video, Sadia! Really well explained
Your wisdom and easy guides is what I love about your channel. It goes so much further than other channels and I love them! Thank you Sadia! You are one of a kind! đ±
Your voice is so calming
Thank you for the time and effort that you put into the planning of your videos and also the follow ups, as in the notes that you add to "below" its so easy to go back and click onto those features.

I think i have written on this video before, but I HAVE to again. I have watched this video maybe separate times, and I cannot say enough how much this has helped me. I have used this in every meal i have now. I now hear/see the categories whenever food comes in front of me. This has changed my life. Thank you, Sadia.
Iâm always so impressed by how thoughtful your videos are. Great, simple advice for nutrition!
Excellent information given in an easily digestible format. Thank you, Sadia!! I always enjoy learning from you!
Thanks so much, Heidi! â€
Really comprehensive, excellent information. And I've been vegan for almost 8 years now. Beautifully done!
This was so helpful! I love to learn more about nutrition and to experiment in the kitchen with vegan recipes and I find your videos so inspiring! Also, I find your voice so calming! Your channel helps me to relax and de-stress while learning. Thank you so much! â€
Thanks Sadia! Love the effort you are putting in your videos. They are always very beneficial and positive. Something for the mind and the body. Much appreciated.
Your videos are seriously amazing! Informative, beautifully shot, and pleasant sounding. Iâm so glad I found your channel đ
I'm glad you found it as well, Jenny! :D
This video was not only very helpful but very calming and relaxing so thank you
As always - a joy to watch. So clear, your voice is soothing, the soft music fits perfectly, the food (and videography) are breathtaking and the recipes mouthwatering. Great information which really helps organize our daily intake of vital nutritional sources. Thank you for this!
Absolutely stunning to look at all the colour full foodâ€ïžvery informative
I love your videos and look forward to them. Thank you for all the fabulous videos. You make my day! Please make a video for people with diabetes.
Your relaxed and informative style is really great! You present such a complicated topic in a really digestible and practical way! Great job :)
You approach this in such an amazing way. There's no shame and no rigid rules. Love it.
I'm just starting out vegan so this has been amazingly helpful!!!! Thankyou!
amazing sadia. I've been stressed about the nutritional value of the food i eat. I've been worried about getting sick and proving my carnivorous friends right. THIS makes me feel better
Lebogang Sekwati The more research you do and the more documentaries you watch, the more validation and confidence you will feel. It worked for me! The best quote..."It isn't the vegans who are filling the hospitals."
Lebogang Sekwati I feel like this sometimes! Especially because I am also raising 2 little vegan boys. We just gotta do our homework and make sure we eat a variety of good wholesome healthy foods :) stay strong!
From experience. Run some blood work after around a year of being vegan. Personally I found out that I am not absorbing Vit. D and Vit. B12 supplements which kind of wrecked havoc into my body. Try not to think about proving anyone wrong, it is all about finding whats best for us :)
this probably the best video ive ever acrossed on youtube for nutrition information. thankyou
Thank you Sadia! It was the most understandable guide how can I balance our meals! Always love to read your articles and watch the videos!
From an RD across the pond, I'm extremely impressed with your channel Sadia. It's a rare thing to have a well-balanced nutrition channel, especially with a specific diet, like vegetarian.

It's vegan
This video is so helpful! I just want to say I can see how much work goes into your videos. They definitely stand apart from other videos on CZcams. You create such beautiful and informative content. Not to mention youâre pretty to look at! Lol
Thanks so much!! :)
Iâm so glad I found you! I wish you would write a cookbook so I could have all your yummy recipes in one easy to find place. đ
Your videos are always SO visually pleasing!!
Amazingly executed Sadia. It really makes my thoughts more stronger each day to turning vegan, and ur plate method is honestly a fab guide ! Il definitely b using it! In fact Iv just printed it right now đđ
I love your videos! I was wondering if you could do a video on food combining. Specifically addressing whether starches and protein are okay to eat together - I've been seeing a lot of conflicting data online. Thanks!
Very well done and comprehensive video, Sadia! Thank you!
Hi Sadia,
I'm on my way to a vegan diet and am still struggling to balance my meals and get enough of everything I need. You videos really help a lot, your voice is so calm and nice to listen to, and you explain everything in an easy way everyone can understand. I also love the fact that you've studied nutrition and share your knowledge with us without hesitation and without bragging about it! :)
Keep up the good work! :)
Thatâs literally Canadaâs newest food guide lol đ
Love the plate method
Hey Sadia, I just wanted to say that after watching your video on soaking certain foods, I started soaking my steel cut oats which I've never done before and it has rocked my world. thank you so much.
So glad to read this, Rachel :D And it helps it cook so much faster, so an added plus, right ;)
Rachel Erickson How long do you soak them for? Iâll try that!
the second sunrise I just soak them overnight. Literally before I go to bed, I put the oats in a bowl and cover them with water. Don't measure the water, just make sure the oats are covered. Then I drain the oats in the morning and cook the oats in a little almond milk. It's hard to describe all the effects of doing this. I feel like I can digest them soo much better and in turn I feel a lot better. I didn't know if I would notice such a difference, but it has been a game changer for me. Plus after you soak them, they cook up lickety split and not the usual 30-40 minutes. Another bonus. I hope that helped.
Thanks! Can't believe I haven't heard of this!
Yeah, even if I don't see _massive_ changes it's easy to do and worth it to cut down on cook time.
@@rachelerickson7321 thanks for the tip. I love my good bowl of oats and this is a great way to prep them.
Pick up limes: I have to say, just watching one of your quality videos brings contentment and peace to me because it is so flexible, and kind to the soul. I have struggled in my relationship with food constantly, from restricting to having just ate 1/2 a jar of chunky peanut butter last night in a binge. But this video has helped a bit to remind myself that all is not lost. :) thank you.
Hi Sadia đ„° my name is Ilaria and Iâm from Italy. As soon as I found out your channel I canât stop watching your videos đ theyâre so inspirational and Iâm trying to follow your nutritional advice step by step... thank you for sharing all of this with us !
Can you please make a video on healthy eating on a budget? Would appreciate a lot thank you in advance! :)
OMG, now I'm hungry
Thank you Sadia for sharing this knowledge.you are truly helping people on their health journey with those printable materials and I dont see any greed behind it.You genuinely and generously helping community.Im sharing your videos with my friends and you deserve millions of subscriber because they will be encouraged and inspired by your videos.Good Luckđ.
Love and warm wishes from Australia.
Sadia, I want to thank you so much for this channel. I am just starting into vegan for health reasons. Your videos are so helpful. Thank you for all the ideas and particularly for the vegan beginner's video. THANK YOU!!!!
Can you do a what I eat in a day + fitness routine? Pretty pleaseđ
Thanks, queen
Thank you! This was so helpful, just made my switch and realized Ive been more tired because i wasn't making sure i was getting the nutrients I needed
Love listening, I always get good healthy tips!!
I went vegan in January but I was not balanced and I was not getting enough nutrients (and you could tell because I was always tired and was losing weight). I had to stop. But last week I decided that I would try again with a better mind set. After watching your videos (and a few other random ones) I think I'm set and I am so thankful for your videos! Keep doing what your doing because it's amazing!!
katie anne
How did it go the second time around?
I have an idea, maybe create a how to cook program online, teaching topics such as kitchen basics like knives, organizing your kitchen and fridge, best utensils to have, cooking tips, how to cook dishes different grains/veggies/etc. just an idea... great video!!
Thank you so much for these tips. I don't eat healthily because it seems so complicated that I give up and just grab what I can get. I'll try to implement this technique and keep you posted â€ïž
Thanks a lot! This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for, short and sweet, not complicated with a lot of examples.
I am just about to go vegan! Very helpful video Sadia! Thank you!
Your videos are so freaking incredible, SO HAPPY I FOUND ITâ€ïž
this is my 4th day with your CHARMING VIDEOS. thank you for sharing your professional expertise for nutrition and also your GENTLE (smiling and personal) ADVICE FOR BETTER HEALTH. I'm looking forward to another one of your videos.
Everything you make looks sooooo good!
This video is so well done! I'm going to watch with my five vegan children and encourage them to get involved with their plating at mealtime! Thank you for such quality work â€ïž
So glad you enjoyed it, Lularoe, thank you! :)
Five vegan children?? How old are they? How do you get them to stay vegan at school and stuff?
I've seen Sikh schools in the UK that are vegan, for example. In my country (Portugal) there's vegan option in the cantine
And they can bring their lunch along
Child abuse.
Thank you for such an informative video. Spectacular cinematography! Your videos have inspired me to add more whole foods in my diet. Tried your comforting coconut red lentil daal. It was an instant hit with my family. Kudos to you! Keep up the good work. đ
Thanks so much, Inam! So glad to hear the fam enjoyed the daal :D
Awesome video!!! Thanks team PUL !!!đđ
I always like your videos before watching, because I know Iâm gonna love it!
Such a helpful video! I have tried going vegan before but noticed I wasn't eating healthy foods. I felt lethargic and wasn't sure what to do. I will definitely be giving veganism another go!
Also, this video must have taken a while to make...great job! Everything looked great đ
Whatâs the difference between âfortifiedâ foods like the yogurts and milks, and taking a vitamin form of calcium? Isnât the process of fortifying just adding in the vitamins and minerals into the food? Youâve got me thinking! đ
That's a wonderful question, Brittany, and we've written about it in the article on calcium. You can find the link to the article in the description box under the video. There is also a comment in the comments section of the article that goes into answering this further. Hope this helps for now â€
@Ayluh A basicly your to lazy to look
@Ayluh A Hey I totally agree; veganism does not have the answers for optimal nutrition! My friend became a vegan and she can cook, but what she makes for her "healthy" vegan foods and plates is really nice looking, but I personally can't eat it it's so gross, dry, over cooked and veggies incorporated into a patties and it's just the worst kind of meals possible. Veganism can work, but without SOY, SOY, SOY in vegan patties, soy this and soy that; vegan food is so over-processed it's very fake. I get our meat industry if you look into that fucking sucks! I'm into eating meat, but what the cows are fed and how they are treated is fucked up!
@Michael Lenelle She literally promotes keeping the highly processed foods to a minimum on her channel. Also, do you leave this type of comment on nonvegan channels that also promote keeping the processed food to a minimum. Because Ive watched some of those channels and they show the same if not more processed foods.
And, processed does not always equal bad
uKnow so if food is overcook nad dry itâs mean that she canât cook
Watching your video from France :) and your prep food looks always sooo good!
Great video Sadie, thank you very much. Easy to follow and very informative.
Please write a cookbook :)
well and clearly explained. thank you. hopefully more people will switch to a plant-based lifestyle
I am a nutritionist myself and I think this video is very informative and easy to understand! Your videos are so enjoyable, you have such a radiant personality.
This has to be the most helpful video i have found for balanced nutrition on a vegan diet. Iâm working on transitioning to a more compassionate way of eating but have been struggling with proportions. Thank you so much and I canât wait to start seriously pursuing this journey! đ„°
This is very helpful! I sometimes struggle to get a meal that is balanced so I donât get either bloated or hungry after an intensive chewing session đ This video cleared up a lot for me! I only struggle to categorise the foods like is the potato a vegetable? Are chickpeas grains or fall into the protein category? đ I feel a bit dumb but Iâd make use of some enlightenment! đ
Hi, chikpeas are proteins. Like lentils, beans, peas. Buckwheat, kinoa, millet, rice, corn, oats, wheat, rhye, amarant, barley etc are grains. Potato is a starch vegetable meaning it is not very nutritious. Other vegetables are more nutritious like sweet potato, pumpkin, carrot, celery or parsley root, beetroot etc.
@@margaritakortsenshteyn6044 I know this is an old comment, but potatoes are extremely nutritious, they're just not green and we slather them in oil so people get them confused with "bad" starches.
Can you do more easy vegan recipes!
This was great simple info. Bless you. Keep em coming
What a wonderful & generous contribution you've made in improving the health of so many. We're big fans and have shared your content with friends and family. A heartfelt thank you for all you do, beautiful (inside and out) Sadia.
And with regard to this particular video, I just love the way you present things. Actually I was born vegetarian. In India certain group of people can't even think of non veg due to their religion. I haven't seen any non veg food at my home since the day I was born
That's cool, you're lucky :-)
Sadia, I have never enjoyed watching someone (who I donât personally know) grow as much as Iâve enjoyed watching you. I love your authenticity and compassion. I follow almost every piece of advice you offer on this channel, but I have a question about something Iâve been struggling with for a while now. I learned a few months ago about food combining for digestion. For example, âalways eat fruits separatelyâ and âdonât eat grains with proteins or starchy carbs.â What do you think about this ideology? from your education, is there any validity to it? And what is your opinion on monomeals, or eating as few ingredients together as possible to increase nutrient absorption?
Destiny Winters wonderful question!!! I'd love a video on this also please Sadiya!!!
Destiny, thank you so much for the kind words. So happy to hear you're enjoying the content :) And it's a wonderful question! We've got it on our list to create an article and hopefully a video as well in time. Until then, sending much love â€
great! I'm looking forward to it :)
I would also love your thoughts on this topic! I eat WFPB (have for years), but digestion has still been a challenge. Food combining is something I've been loosely trying to implement, but I would like to know if there is compelling evidence that this is not necessary for good digestion.
@@Johanna_reads ăyou can find the answer to your question on the book called " FIT FOR LIFE" by Harvey Diamond, which is the best seller book in the US. It answers a lot of questions. Eat fruits before meal because, No milk because ..., etc. etc. ; ) Also the book "WHOLE" written by the author of "CHINA STUDY" will help you too.
Great video! Very practical and no-nonsense, thanks a lot!
I discovered this channel last week and I have been obsessed! It really makes me want to become more focused on a plant based diet.
who else is going vegan for 2020 haha
This nâ that first month is veganuary so hopefully that help XD
This nâ that Iâm going vegetarian for January and Iâll see how it goes from there
Glad you're doing your research! If you haven't heard this yet, I'd recommend tracking your calories for a few days at the beginning if you can, because it's really easy to under eat when you first switch from an Omni to a vegan diet. Best of luck âșïžâïž
Meeeeeeeee haha
Already vegan here. Go for it! đ±
I can't use canned legumes, even with rinsing them, they hurt my stomach, I always have to do the soaking and cooking myself to be sure they do no harm. When you are sensetive, canned foods realy are not the way to go, if you have no trubble, than why not ^^
This was super helpful, thank you for being here!!!
This is second time Iâve watched this video. One of the better ones on nutrition Iâve seen. đđ»
I want to transition my family but my sons have severe nut allergies, and with their autism they only eat certain foods. I'm allergic to avocados đ.How can I incorporate more fruits and veggies in their diet or at least gradually introduce the idea? Suggestions welcome. Thanks #newsubbie
honeybee0503 i like making a cheese sauce out of cauliflower, carrots, and potatoes! You can also use tofu for extra protein. Of course you also have to add the typical seasonings- salt, pepper, garlic, lemon, nooch, etc. Making veggie tots could be helpful too! Or adding some veggies like beets and spinach to fruit snoothies!
u dont have to force urself, ur body will guide u.. u can slowly transition, by adding and testing 1 veggie or fruit at a time. dont give ur body a shock of completely changing its sources
Whenever nuts are discussed, find a seed or legume alternative :) This includes the butters too! (Like sunflower seed butter)
As for alternatives to the avocado, it depends on what you're using it for... Like instead of guacamole dip, you can dip in hummus instead. You could probably make a savory-tasting chia seed spread/jam instead, if a recipe calls for using mashed avocado as a spread... like on a sandwich or something.
There's plenty you can do :) I recommend looking through the PUL website to find really good recipes. There are other really good vegan recipe books, too, that have all kinds of great ideas for replacements/alternatives.
As for the autistic children, that's obviously less simple. But it's generally recommended to take it step by step and make it fun. I recommend reading this: www.autismspeaks.org/blog/2012/11/09/encouraging-picky-eaters-autism-try-new-foods
Thank you all for your great suggestions. đ
honeybee0503 Oh She Glows (blog and cookbooks) would be another good resource. Her second cookbook is a staple in our home and it has tons of substitution recommendations for nut allergies and others. She has young kids and has a kid-approved tag that might be a good place to start on her blog.
Do nut milks have the same amount of calcium as cow's milk?. I have been making my own nut milk from pre-soaked almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, cashew nuts and walnuts. I find that this combo tastes better than a single nut milk.
Shruthi Reddy that is amazing!! I really want to try making my own nut milks sometime soon. Whenever I buy non-dairy milks from the store, I check to make sure that they are fortified with added calcium, because Iâm pretty sure that almond milk, at least, is not a good source of calcium on its own. Iâm not sure how you would add calcium to your homemade nut milks, but many companies do fortify theirs with added calcium and other nutrients if you are interested in purchasing instead of making your own, but itâs important to always check the label! Hope this helped :)
Please think twice before going on such harsh diets. Indian food and eating methods are very well balanced and healthy. Not only that, it's being followed since ages. These vegan and keto lifestyle's have just been invented and not researched as much. Ideally our food choices should be as per our region. It should help not only us, but the ecology as well. Hence eat what grand parents used to eat. Your body recognise those food items, the best. Eat only as much you feel like eating. Do not depend on other people to tell you what and how much you should eat. Be active throughout the day. That is best way to have a happy and peaceful mental and physical health. Sadia is a sweet girl and really inspiring but some of her choices are questionable. And she doesn't even respond when you question her something out of her comfort zone.
Wow you explained everything so well and made it so simple to follow. I am definitely gonna follow the plate plan. Thanks a lot and I am totally in love with your content. đ
This was a super helpful guide! I've been meaning to look more into nutrition but because it's such a broad topic I was thinking "where do I start?!" and you've helped me figure that out! Thank you so much for your awesome informative videos!
