The Reluctant Vegan!

I’ve been vegetarian since I was 15 years old, a lot of people thought I was being silly, trying to be trendy and I would soon stop the nonsense.  In truth it was because of my active imagination and deep love of animals, I simply kept imagining the animal before it was on my plate and I just couldn’t eat it. 
 
For the first few year I got very ill, I had no clue what I was doing, it didn’t help that I wasn’t a huge fan of vegetables back then. 
 
I finally got in control of my diet in my late teens after a particularly nasty period of Anemia.
 
Now I always toyed with the idea of becoming Vegan but kept telling myself I just wouldn’t cope.
 
A month ago I decided, reluctantly to go Vegan, this time for health reasons.  I could immediately feel the benefit, joints that had started to become sore improved, swelling that had started to appear went down, my sleep is better, my energy is up.
 
I found the transition easier than I’d thought, mainly because I know what I need to eat, there are so many good alternatives and with the recent rise in Veganism there’s a lot more options when you're out and about than ever.
 
The main reason though is that I am a G type Bodytype.  My Bodytype lends itself well to vegetarian and vegan lifestyles, we don’t have to be so strict and can be more lenient than some of the other Bodytype.  I work with 5 Bodytypes and help you find the diet, exercise and lifestyle choices that suit you.
 
If you are thinking about a Vegan diet or are struggling with your current diet, contact the clinic for help.

For now here are a recipe I've been playing with:

Brekkie

Going nuts for porridge
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup oat
1tsp peanut butter
1tsp my own maca/chia/flax mix
1 tsp coconut (shredded)
strawberries
blueberries
Alternaltive milk - oat/coconut/almond/hemp/rice
boiling water

METHOD
Put the oats in your saucepan
Add boiling water till oats are covered
Leave for 10 mins
Put the oats on the hob - medium to high heat
Add 1/2 cup of your alternative milk
Heat up the porridge

Pour into a bowl once hot
Add the rest of the ingredients and make it look pretty
Then it's just a case of eating it, feeling like a unicorn and going yum yum yum
