If you haven't already been paying attention, my veggie voyagers...everywhere we look there are products coming out suitable for vegans! In a time where only a year ago we would have had a hard time finding something at, say, Fred Meyer (Kroger) or WalMart that was vegan friendly, now we can confidently walk in and see a good handful of vegan products side-by-side with conventional ones.
Makes my veggie heart swell with joy!
Of course - never forget - we still have to be smart in the products we purchase and feed our families. While we are seeing many more products we can cook with going vegan, many of those products are also still loaded with salt, oils, sugar, fat, chemicals, etc...and those are things we still don't want to be flooding our bodies with.
Processed foods, whether vegan or not, are still detrimental to our overall health and well-being, no matter what classification they are.
Whole Foods are best - and I still stand by the premise that refined and concentrated oils are evil on the body. Use organic vegetable broth instead to cook with! Oils simply are not needed to make your foods tasty, and for many other healthy reasons!
Type 2 diabetics - sit up and take notice: Cutting oils and animal fats out of your diet (yes, that includes dairy) will help those receptors "clean" themselves out and start taking up that insulin properly. Don't believe me? Read "Program for Reversing Type 2 Diabetes" By Neal Barnard, MD.
I did it - and you can too.
