      Im not vegan but cutting down on meat has done that for me too. Back when I first cut down on it i was only eating a tiny portion once every few days and I felt the best I had in my life. Probs because I was excersising and eating a fuck ton of healthy foods

      and what did you eat before going vegan? McDonalds? Standard American Diet?
      The non-vegans say you'll feel good in the first year or two of being vegan, especially if you were eating crappy food before the switch, but it starts going downhill after a year or two. 84% of people who attempt switching to a vegan diet are unable to last more than 5 years as a vegan. This is not the hallmark of a diet that makes people feel good. This is the hallmark of a diet that leads to health problems which are so severe, people are willing to go back to eating what they consider to be "holocaust products".

What I mean by "vegan wannabe" is- I read, watch and tell all the friends about veganism and the benefits but I don't practice what I preach.

      Ellen and Co.--- If you like to compose as you go, I highly recommend getting the IP. I cook up 3# potatoes and put them in a 1/2 gal mason jar in fridge. Want a cooked potato? They're done, ready to make potato salad, mashed, fried...Really fast. I make a batch of Brown Basmati Rice, put it into another 1/2 gal MJ and now I have a base for stir fries, top off with cheezy sauce or make a rice pudding or even a stuffing. I also do a jar of sweet potatoes, sure they're kinda ugly, but aren't they nice with a tomato sauce or just mashed plain. I also go low/no oil and the IP keeps the moisture content fairly well so less oils/margarine needed for those mashed dishes. Want a quick soup, just do your broth, add a potato put through your blender (you don't have to have a VitaMix but a high powered one helps, the Oster 1200 is mine) then jazz up seasonings and you have a cream of potato soup to which you can later add croutons, steamed veggies, broccoli, or peas and each day have a new incarnation. It also makes vegan yogurt so definitely a cost savings tool. Cheers!

    Note on 6:49 : PLEASE don't put your bare hands on the steam going out of a pressure cooker. It can lead to serious burning.
    The idea of having a pressure cooker is awesome, though. In Brazil, pressure cooking is a must, as we have beans as our main food choice (which makes canned beans not an option on the long run,...), together with rice. For people that live in places where an electric pressure cooker is too expensive, you can try the old (but effective) pressure cookers that go on your stove tops as any other simple pan. And of course, you will be the timer, so be attentive to avoid burning your meal. LoL

      Personally I find new recipes intimidating when I’m pressed for time, so I like to add in some new things on the weekends/when I have more time. Then I’ll know the recipes that I like and will have a much easier time eating them. My favorite thing to make when I’m pressed for time is a quick southwestern bowl. I make rice ahead of time, but you could also do some in the microwave while you’re cooking the rest. I cook some tofu (just because I like it, not necessary), peppers and onions (I get the frozen bags usually), black beans, corn, and salsa until everything is a good temperature. If I’m not doing tofu, that’s like 5-7 minutes and you’re done. I add some seasonings like cumin, chili powder, paprika, and sometimes lime juice. Super easy base that you can change up depending on what you have or what you want to eat. And of course meals like pasta, salads, or sandwiches are pretty quick. If you want any more suggestions, I’d be glad to offer some. It’s super easy once you get started! Good luck on your journey!!

    Instant pot change my life, bought it used of course. I paid 30$ for it. Never buy new stuff if there are plenty of used units around.
    These things have 2 safety heat fuses that when blown, cut the AC current. So if they are listed broken, they will be probably easy to fix by replacing the 1c fuses. Or if you machine is "broken", its most likely the fuses. They are build so that the fuses are not made to be replaced by the user, bad design in that way. But they are still easy to replace.
    The unit is extremely cheaply build, but works surprisingly well and has a proper stainless steel pot.

      Take a blood glucose test after and see how your body actually reacts. I used to eat oatmeal and actually learned to love it. Started taking 1h and 2h post-prandial (post-meal) glucose tests at home and realized that oatmeal shot my blood sugar to crazy levels yet I felt fine. Never would have known had I not tested myself. Just because a food is healthy, doesn't mean it is healthy for YOU. Everyone is different.

    I always add some tiny lentils to my morning cereal (oats, millet, tef, quinoa, sometimes amaranth), then some blueberries, strawberries, bananas & ground flaxseed. I like to experiment, so far just stove-top but I do have an Insta Pot. I started my WFPB eating with canned mixed veggies & canned greens (Margaret Holmes canned collards, turnip greens & other southern style goodies, no or minimal added oil). I have since branched out & now cook lots of crucifers myself & of course other stuff. Basically I kind of make up meals as I go. I have a small open-top freezer & freeze virtually everything. This enables me to reach in the freezer, grab some handfuls of green stuff, put them in a bowl & heat in the microwave. But I need to incorporate the Insta-Pot to this process.

With a big spoon with wholes pull out the noodle from the boiling water and toss it in the sauce with the fire still on. Let it simmer for a minute or two so the flavors melt together. Turn off the fire add some "cheese" and serve it.

      Gigi Pizzuto I don't think he eats vegan cheese because he's oil free but yes I agree with you. I always put cooked pasta in the sauce for a minute or two. Its great with eggplant and FYH vegan mozzarella.

    Most mornings I have oatmeal. Steel cut with cinnamon, coconut and raisins and chunks of garnet yam (yes). Then add blueberries, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and sliced almonds on top. Yummy!
    Thanks for all your hard work!

  • @ashleyfrost8457
    @ashleyfrost8457 6 лет назад +4

    You could also just use plain quick oats, put a couple scoops of that in a bowl, add water ( from the kettle, pop it in the microwave, etc) and then add syrup ( for sweetener or what ever you like) add some chia seeds, a spoonful of what ever nut butter and fruit ( bananas are my personal fav. I usually mash them in with my oat meal. On the days I don't have bananas I'll use what ever fruit I have handy, or no fruit because money) and bam, you have delicious oat meal that's ready like in less than 5 min.... may not be the healthiest way but it gets the job done.

    • @hallelujah8141
      @hallelujah8141 6 лет назад +4

      Ashley Frost quick oats aren't as nutritious as steel cut, and we need to be really careful about artificial sweeteners too. Fruit adds sweetness with an added nutrition boost, so is clearly the best option for sweetening. But each to their own...🤗

    I eat oatmeal most mornings. In the winter I'll get up 45 minutes early, turn up the furnace, then prepare a bowl of oats in a Pyrex bowl, adding a bunch of frozen berries and a little maple syrup (gotta start adding flax...). I put it in my toaster oven, set at 350°, turn the timer dial to 30 minutes, and go back to bed for 40-45 minutes. The toaster oven automatically shuts off when the timer runs down, and I let it cool another 10 or 15 minutes. House is warm, and breakfast is ready when I get up again.

    Braised red cabbage is really good. I use half an onion, about half a red cabbage head, and less than a tsp of canola oil. The oil is completely optional and doesn’t really help with cooking it just gives it a better texture and taste. Add a splash of vinegar at the end and salt and pepper to taste.

    Mic thans for the video and food demonstration. I would do this. Here's my story, I am living with my daughter and son-in-law right now. They are vegans. I told them sure I'm ready to try it and be flexible to something new. I started oh at the end of December and here it is in March. I'm doing good so far and really love this. I have always had degestive problems and even losing some hair. But trying to make change. My mother passed away from cancer back in 1998 so this discernment and being responsible for what I eat is very important to me.

Best thing I have invested in since I started my vegan journey in July17! The pasta and sauce meal looks great! I will try it with fresh ingredients soon! Thanks Mic!

      Andrea Wilson We were given a toy cat that was clearly made of real cat fur, so we’re going to bury it in our back garden along with our deceased pets. 😔 Obviously you can’t do that with tons of handbags and shoes, so it’s a case of using them till they fall apart as you already have them, throwing them away, or giving them to somebody. There’s not really a “right” answer.

      The salt is so fricking important. Tonight I made spaghetti with Trader Joe's marinara, fresh squash and zucchini, and canned tomatoes. I stupidly didn't use salt and it was very bland and hard to eat. It could have been delicious, but I'm a new vegan and didn't know what spices to put in. Suggestions? How much salt do I need to put in sauce?

    • @nqkoi159
      @nqkoi159 6 лет назад +8

      Hi. If you are a new vegan, just don't worry about salt, use as much as you find it tasty. New vegans have a very high chance of failing and going back to animal products so lets make it easier. After like a year or two you have great chances to continue veganism successfully, then you can try making it even healthier.

    • @skycross1712
      @skycross1712 6 лет назад

Is it still healthy having it this way ?? Thanks for the video content mate.

    I've only cooked pasta in my instant pot once so far in the last you're using a recipe for mushroom stroganoff. Her advice on the formula and cooking pasta was too only cook it high pressure for half the time of the minimum amount of time that the bag of pasta recommends. It actually work perfectly! That being said the 7-minute minimum cooking time for the pasta, which was a whole wheat, actually, only took three and a half minutes.

    • @Dankapotamus918
      @Dankapotamus918 6 лет назад +2

      Jovis just make sure it’s ground. I can find ground flax easier than ground chia. If it’s not ground it will pass without you getting all the benefits. Flax also have substantially more lignans and there is benefits to that as well but don’t overdue it.

      Both are fine and I don't think you need either. Some people think you need lots of essential omega-3 ALA but I'm pretty sure out body only needs much smaller amounts of ALA than this and doesn't use the rest.l so I don't ise it.

    • @nelthebean
