So it’s been one full week since I cut the following ingredients out of my life:
Meat (Chicken, Beef, Pork, Veal, etc)
Seafood (Fish, Shrimp, Clams, Lobster, Crawfish, etc)
Eggs
Dairy (Milk, Cheese, Creams, Yogurts, Butter, and anything with them in it)
Honey
Any food that uses animal by-products (Most store bought bread, White sugar, Anything with gelatin, the list goes on)
Issues
I have concerns with making sure I get all of the nutrients I need because before I was very well rounded and ate plenty of different kinds of meats, cheeses, and vegetables. Now I feel as if I am struggling to eat different kinds of foods at each meal.
The other question I have is what vitamins and supplements I should be taking. The biggest ones are apparently D (which you can get from the sun), Omega 3 Fatty Acids, and Vitamin B12.
I have continued to take the multi vitamin that I was taking before which has 100% of my B12 and 100% of my vitamin D. So, it seems to my like the only thing I am lacking is the Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Upon further research it looks like I can get my daily serving with olive oil mmmmmmmmmm… as well as walnuts, flaxseeds, beans, and winter squash.
Moving on.
One of my biggest problems is that at times I simply don’t eat because I am out and about and I don’t know where to find vegan food or don’t want to pay a lot of money for an expensive smoothie.
The only remedy I have had for this is to make peanut butter and jam sandwiches when I know I will be gone for a long period.
Honestly, things are getting better and I’m starting to enjoy my food adventures.
On a final note, I like this pyramid:

you can get your omega-3s by taking fish oil pills.
