I've been vegan since mid January but I think I am not eating enough fruit and veg but rather tons of nuts!! (and other vegan junk food - I know nuts are good but only if eaten in moderation)
I really am addicted to them - once I've started I can't stop (especially cashews). I also have a bad habit of nibbling - and veg is not really something one would nibble on.. In fact I have never been a great fruit and veg eater because I think it's messy (always have sticky fingers) and I don't like cold food very much (like salads and ...yes...fruit)..I nibble on dry fruit but I can't do that all the time either.and veggies need to be prepared, I only ever eat them in a main meal which doesn't happen very often. I am trying to be a good girl and starte the day off with some porridge and banana or just fruit...and then it goes downhill because I am so disorganized...so not many main meals...
Most of the time I just eat oranges or apples not because I like them so much but to have a clear conscience If I could I would live on nak'd bars and nuts and dried fruit (I'm not a raw-foodist)... I like cooking but haven't been feeling too good for the last few years so my passion for cooking has gone out of the window...sometimes I try a new vegan recipe but often the result is not very tasty. And the only recipes I like are usually fried (fried tofu, polenta, aubergine, falafel anyone??)
So I am actually scared I am having too much fat in my diet (which is not good if you weigh 14 stone)...Funnily enough I have lost weight but it still feels wrong...
