In reply to Health and Happiness in LA. You are so right...It is such a misconception that becoming vegan limits your food choices. I also find that being vegan has expanded my food choices rather than limited them.

In reply to Keri - I Eat Trees. I agree that while processed protein isn't the best choice, it does have a place in transitioning to a vegan diet from the SAD diet and as an occasional treat.

Great advice! I found my tastes changed *so* quickly when I went vegan, and now I’d prefer a giant “veggie, lentil or bean, and homemade healthy dressing” salad to even the best processed vegan products any day. But my husband, who ate the classic SAD before going vegan, loves the occasional Gardein or Daiya and I’m more than happy to treat him to those! 🙂

Great advice! I added so many new foods into my diet when I went vegan that I’d definitely say I put more new foods into my diet than the few I took out. And I’m sure eating a pound of raw veggies every day would keep you pretty full!
