    Here everybody eats beans and rice every day (we love it)
    To make beans easier, let into water all night, at morning change the water for (very, boiling) hot water for 3 times in 3 hours, after that you can cook in a normal pan for 30 min or in a pressure pan to 10 minutes. Just put the salt in the final, the salt makes the bean hard

Remind yourself when you’re struggling why you’re looking to make this decision in the first place. RUclips is your best friend for inspiration.
      Also remember that anything can be made vegan. Just google it!! You got this and I wish you the best. The animals will thank you so so much 💚💚💚💚

    My go-to recipe when I get home from work super tired and hungry, is a taco soup. Don't know if it's an actual taco soup but that's what I call it. 1 small onion, 1 garlic clove, 1 can of rinsed black beans, 1 can of chopped tomatoes. spices (cumin, paprika and chili) or store bought taco seasoning if I am really super lazy. If I have taco shells I use those to scoop it up, if not I just eat it like that (after cooking it of course). Great video, always important to get some inspiration.

      kayla carter You can do it gradually, step by step. I found we were eating a lot less meat as time went on. After a major health issue 5 years ago, I got interested in nutrition and a year ago I gave up meat altogether, but it was only a couple of months ago that I finally gave up dairy, once I discovered that I could make very good yoghurt with soya milk. During this time I also did a lot of research into the ethical and environmental issues associated with animal agriculture and there is no way I’d go back to eating animal products now. You can start by leaving out eggs and dairy for one day a week and see how you go, or try setting a time limit on it, like omitting all animal products for say three weeks. That way it doesn’t seem so scary. I thought I’d never be able to give up cheese, and in particular eggs which I adored, but now I don’t miss them. When you go whole-food plant-based (which is vegan, but healthy - you can be vegan living off Oreos and coca-cola!) you find that in time, your taste buds are restored to what they are designed to be, and real food tastes ever more delicious. Above all, don’t beat yourself up if you don’t think you are succeeding, or if it’s taking time. There re no rules, and you know your own body and tastes. I hope you get on really well on your journey. I’ve never regretted taking the trip myself!

      kayla carter You’re more than welcome. And many, many congratulations to you! Haven’t you done splendidly. Taking this decision has so many rewards, doesn’t it. A while back, I was disappointed that my hubby had been persuaded by our doctor to go back on statins. The doctor said with his family history (all obese, deaths from cardiovascular disease) he should be on them. The trouble is, doctors look at family history and say “genetics.” While genetics do play a part, it’s lifestyle that either expresses the genes or not, and his family’s lifestyle and diet were always appalling! The doctor said he should go to a slimming club which I wasn’t too happy about either, saying that if he would only just eat what I give him, the weight would fall off. He started going and I was fairly impressed with them - they do seem to concentrate on calorie density rather than calorie counting but they don’t go nearly far enough in my opinion. Then came the lockdown and he was here for all his meals, and lo and behold, the weight started to fall off! Then, a few weeks ago he started complaining about awful muscle pains and decided it was the statins, so he phoned the doctor and said he was coming off them again. The doctor called him in for a cholesterol test, and then we were told that his cholesterol and blood pressure had plummeted to normal, and the doctor said the results were like those of a totally different person!! He said with his family history, he was really a candidate for statins, but did not in fact need them! He is now thinking about getting another sleep test to see if he can get rid of his CPap machine because he thinks the sleep apnoea has gone, too. (He can’t just stop using it without the test because he wouldn’t be allowed to drive till he gets the all clear.) This is a huuuuge benefit from the whole-food plant-based diet - not just the weight loss, but all-round improvement in health.
      If I had known years ago what I now know, I am convinced I could have avoided ulcerative colitis my entire adult life, ultimately leading to colon cancer 5 years ago. I now have a permanent ileostomy. These diseases are definitely diet-related. If you haven’t heard about it, you should watch the movie “Forks Over Knives’ - available on the FOK website or Amazon - “What the Health” is another good one (RUclips). Search “Whole-food plant-based” and you’ll find so much good evidence. There’s real scientific proof that this way of life works.
      I’m so pleased you took the decision and are doing so well!! Wishing you long life and happiness!

    I would love to see an app from you for meal plans. 100% would buy. Your shopping lists and meal plans ACTUALLY take into account that you can't buy 1/3 avocado in a week for a recipe.
