Veggie since my teens & fully plant-based since Lent, I wanted to check I'm not missing anything vital. As ever with such things, the advice conflicts with other dietary systems (notably intermittent fasting). There's a generous section of recipes, based on GL, which sound nice and don't rely on weird ingredients. My main reservation is over the recommended supplements, many times in excess of the RDA. Guess what the author sells via his website!

RachelAmphlett Ugh. I hate it when they add all the supplements. When I‘m looking for plant-based, I want natural 😫 3y

rachaich I gave up caffeine last year and it was horrendous. My kids actually asked me to start drinking it again! I've recently started having small amounts occasionally... 3y
Powered_By_Plants @rachaich well done! I was so shocked at the reaction of not having it , I was expecting the headache but not the other symptoms. Did you find you missed the coffee? It‘s made me how realise how much I used having a coffee as a break ... these little habits you create. 3y
wanderinglynn Way to go! 🙌🏻 great progress! And great goals for March! 🍀 3y

rachaich @Powered_By_Plants I find that decaf is rarely as tasty. But I did find a local place that sells good stuff. I ended up drinking more herbal fruit teas instead! 3y
Powered_By_Plants @rachaich thank goodness for herbal teas , I managed to find a whole Earth organic coffee alternative , it‘s a chicory based one, I‘m wondering if coconut sugar would be as bad 🤷‍♀️ @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick , @wanderinglynn thank you 🙏 🥰 3y
