I'm really loving my transition to veganism and The Kind Diet. I'm trying to acclimate my taste buds to new flavors. I've been addicted to sugar and dairy for so long now that whole foods taste so foreign to me.
Last night I made a salad from the Weight Watchers recipe archive called "Arugula, Potato and Edamame Salad" and it was pretty good. My only complaint is the onions in the sauce, which was very overwhelming to my poor abused tongue! I've never tasted anything quite so onion-y.
This week I've been experimenting with all of my meals, trying to find ways to make them more whole and more kind (to the animals, staying away from meat entirely and only eating a little dairy and eggs right now).
Here's what I'm planning to eat today. Notice how different it is from my old "Gilmore Girls" diet:
breakfast: 1 tbs pumpkin seeds, 1 medium banana
lunch: ww tortilla with 1/2 cup ff refried beans, 1/2 cup salsa, 1/2 cup brown rice; side salad with oil and vinegar
dinner: 2 new recipes! "Mexican-flavored edamame", "minted zucchini cherry-tomato saute" and 1/2 cup brown rice
snacks: 1/4 cup raisins, fiberplus granola bar, air-popped popcorn with 1 tsp evoo and sea salt
Also will be going to Curves for 30 minutes and doing 30 minutes of cardio on my gazelle. Should be a healthy day! The most processed food that I am going to eat is that fiberplus bar, and that's because I don't believe in wasting food, and I still have half a box left.
