Thanks for all your input!<br /><br />Aimee, I feel the same way about smoothies!<br /><br />Thanks Shen, I'll be glad when I feel better about what I am eating.<br /><br />Jessica @ Lima's, that makes so much sense what you said about people who eat meat. When they question me, I do start questioning myslef.<br /><br />Jessica, you know I could really live off pasta! I love it that much! I know what you mean about going from hearty healthy foods back junk. I really want mine to stay healthy. :o)<br /><br />Thanks everyone for your input!

I love the variety of smoothie colors!<br /><br />I'm no expert, but I think your meals look varied and complete. I agree with the others - much of your questioning has to do with others asking you where you're getting various nutrients. I just heard a piece on the radio about the meat industry being upset about omnivores adopting "Meatless Monday." Really? <br /><br />But I'm working on becoming healthier, too, and it's important to consult trusted resources for advice. You don't want to be a pasta vegetarian! (you're not. I was when I first went veg in college a decade ago.) Maybe you've noticed this, too -- it's crazy to go from hearty, tasty, "health" foods back to junk food. For instance, I just ate some white bread that didn't require chewing. It just made me hungry for whole grains.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14917367078025519399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384189504385510521.post-25408233521404355122010-08-10T08:43:32.085-05:002010-08-10T08:43:32.085-05:00Mmm, yummy looking smoothie.

Alot of concerns like 'am I eating enough protien?' come from other people around you. Most people (and the meat industry) like to believe that protien only comes from meat, which isnt true. Most people eat too much. When I first went vegan I thought a bit about what I should or shouldn't eat but after a while it became very natural. Your body will tell you what it wants! :)jess_fildespageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08476211010825624165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384189504385510521.post-89087014615207267672010-08-10T07:05:50.009-05:002010-08-10T07:05:50.009-05:00I will say that, yes, you are eating the right foo...I will say that, yes, you are eating the right foods.Vegan In The VIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05987192418948736625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384189504385510521.post-9714960115577213562010-08-10T00:44:23.498-05:002010-08-10T00:44:23.498-05:00I will never tire of smoothies! that one looks gre...I will never tire of smoothies! that one looks great.aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04566336117876656013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384189504385510521.post-88078185216937006222010-08-09T21:22:46.862-05:002010-08-09T21:22:46.862-05:00That smoothie is a beautiful color...sounds good t...That smoothie is a beautiful color...sounds good too.<br /><br />My advice would be to eat a varied whole foods diet that includes a wide variety of fruits and vegetables esp. your dark leafy greens, raw nuts and seeds, beans and other legumes, whole grains (quinoa is especially high in protein) and mushrooms all provide a lot of nutrients...and don't forget that even fruits and veggies have proteins in them...eating a wide variety ensures that you will get the full spectrum of protein acids to ...you don't have to eat them all in the same meal.<br /><br />This is a fact that always surprises people, I know I was surprised:<br /><br />there's more protein in 100 calories worth of broccoli than there is in 100 calories of steak.<br /><br />Looks to me like your on the right track...and it's good that you're reading up on it....I think going vegan is a process of discovery...Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114977921830686539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384189504385510521.post-70347891834747263642010-08-09T20:51:42.758-05:002010-08-09T20:51:42.758-05:00As far as input goes, I find that a protein-filled...As far as input goes, I find that a protein-filled breakfast is key.
