Plant based eating thread.

[Yvonne Smith]

I am not a vegan or even totally vegetarian, but since reading more and more about the importance of dietary fiber, I have been adding more plant foods to my diet, since that is where we get fiber from.
There are a lot of good books about plant based eating and also about how important fiber is for a healthy body, and what foods have the best fiber. Dr. Bulciewicz has written maybe one of the best ones, called “Fiber Fueled”, and he is a gastroenterologist, so this is his medical specialty.
Dr. Michael Greger has also written a lot about the importance of fiber in his books, and I defnintely recommend both of these authors for anyone who wants to have a healthier diet.

Awesome , so it sounds like it has been the right choice for you. Do you have favorite channels for new recipe ideas on YouTube ?

 

[MamaFrankie]

No as recipes would be of no use to me as I cannot cook!

Okay then !
I can cook although I have never been a person who enjoys cooking, but I do like food that tastes good. I have been working on eating the healthiest food s that I can, so I watch some of the YouTube videos and try some of the simple food ideas from there.
Actually, making the healthy ice cream in the Ninja is my favorite, and also making smoothies in the blender. EASY is what works best for me.
(If I can learn how to do this in my 80’s, then you can , too…….)
