]]>Plant-Based and Flexitarian Diets
Plant-based diets, including vegetarian and vegan approaches, have gained popularity for their focus on whole foods derived from plants. They emphasize fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains while reducing or eliminating animal products. Flexitarian diets also promote plant-based eating but allow the occasional inclusion of animal products. These diets are associated with improved heart health, weight management, and environmental sustainability.
Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting involves cycling between periods of fasting and eating. Popular methods include the 16/8 method (fasting for 16 hours and eating within an eight-hour window) and alternate-day fasting. Proponents claim it can aid weight loss, improve metabolic health, and enhance cellular repair processes.
Ketogenic Diet
The ketogenic diet is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that forces the body into a state of ketosis. It involves consuming foods rich in healthy fats, moderate amounts of protein, and minimal carbohydrates. Advocates suggest it can promote weight loss, improve mental clarity, and regulate blood sugar levels.

]]>Cheaper Groceries
Meat can get very expensive! If you mostly buy beans, legumes, veggies, and fruits, you can expect your grocery expenses to be lower and this can be motivating for many people. This lifestyle change can allow you to save up for something bigger or to splurge on some other things on a daily basis.
Digestive System Benefits
Your digestive system will massively improve when you start eating more fresh foods, especially vegetables. This is because they contain a lot of fiber, which helps you feel less bloated along with improving acid reflux problems.
Junk Food Temptation
Pay attention not to fall into the common trap: eating more junk food just because it’s plant-based. Chips, french fries, and many other processed foods technically don’t contain animal products, but that doesn’t mean they’re a good choice for you. They contain a lot of empty calories and not enough nutrients to provide you with things your body needs, so make smarter choices whenever you can.

]]>As a vegetarian, you can use dairy and eggs as a protein instead of meat and fish. Beans are also a really great source of protein and if you combine beans and grains together the amino acids will build a complete protein, like meat and fish. Complete proteins for vegetarians are; quinoa, soybeans, eggs, cow’s milk, cheese, and yogurt. Also, seeds such as chia and hemp are good protein sources.

Pulisci i funghi, condisci con poco olio e mettili in forno a 180 gradi per circa 12-15 minuti (in base alla grandezza) Nel frattempo taglia i peperoni a dadini e saltali in padella con piselli e spinaci e 2 cucchiai di olio.

Buon appetito! / Stuffed Portobello Ingredients for 2 people 4 Portobello mushrooms 80 g quinoa 4 tbsp green peas 1/2 red bell pepper 1/2 yellow bell pepper 2 handfuls of spinach 1 tsp turmeric Olive oil Salt and pepper First of all, cook quinoa in water (1:2 ratio) Clean mushrooms, season them with oil and bake them at 180C for 12-15 minutes.

Stuff mushrooms with quinoa and veggies. #quinoa #mushrooms #funghi #lunch #healthyfood #pranzo #fitness #leanmuscle #cottoaldente #bolognaIf you’re also working out at the same intensity as you were as a meat eater you still need to eat something post-workout high in protein. Protein after a workout can help with recovery and repair muscles. You should also eat carbs to replace the glycogen stores you burnt during your workout. A few examples are; smoothie with milk and yogurt and spinach or banana and peanut butter.
There are many protein powders on the market suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. They are usually based on brown rice, hemp, pea, or soy for the vegans and whey protein for vegetarians. All of these contain high amounts of protein and are really good for an after workout meal.

With her award-winning blog, the Dallas-based Sher Castellano is a well-known plant-based chef. The former health coach suffers from stage four endometriosis and explores topics of chronic illness and healing with her anti-inflammatory recipes and honest writings.
Her blog has been featured in Better Homes and Gardens, Buzzfeed, Food and Wine, and many more. Soothing aloe cucumber agua fresca or creamy risotto with sautéed spring vegetables are just some of her delicious recipes.
Cookie and Kate
Cookie and Kate is a human-dog duo who started a blog in 2010. The self-taught photographer and cook from Kansas City daydreams about new recipes. Creamy roasted cauliflower soup is just one of the many popular recipes she provides.
You'll only need six ingredients: avocado, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime, salt, and optional ground coriander (that’s my secret ingredient). 
⠀ ⠀ Get the recipe on the blog! Link in bio. #cookieandkate #guacamole #mexicanvegetarian #vegetarian #vegan #plantpower #glutenfree #foodblogfeed #feedfeed #huffposttaste #thekitchn#f52grams ⠀Grateful Grazer
Stephanie McKercher is the person behind her blog called Grateful Grazer. The registered dietitian nutritionist, recipe developer, blogger, photographer, and media spokesperson for like-minded food and wellness brands focuses on plant-based meals. “I want to make sustainable living easier and more enjoyable for my readers,” McKercher says.
Mix parsley, cilantro, red wine vinegar, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. I like to toss in some hemp hearts and crushed red pepper, too! You can find the full recipe on my blog. What do you make when you need to use up fresh herbs?⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ PS: Thank you for your words of support the last couple days. It's been tough but today I feel ready to get back to (semi-)normal life. A lot of people reached out saying they could relate to my experience with losing a canine best friend, so I decided to write a blog post about it. Feel free to check it out if you're going through something similar.
