Sorry! Tbh I was teased on to the cheap meat Richmonds sausages by my mrs. I don’t think the vegan ones taste much different to them…but as others say above that’s possibly cos they ain’t the best anyway…and my taste buds have been warped over the years.
Oh, trust me, the Richmond 'meat' (Ear, Nose, & Throat more like) ones are no better!
It passes (no pun intended). I noticed when I went plant based my poo went super shiny, slipped out easily and always a clean break which is useful when you’re inflicted with as much body hair as me. Anyhow, the point I’m making is that after about 4 weeks my body adjusted and I stopped feeling bloated and my poo unfortunately returned to how it was before. TMI I know and apologise to everyone.
tony admitting he no longer gives a shiny shit.
I had the same when I went keto.
I am surprised by that. I always think in Italy a lot of meals tend to be more vegetarian?
Less meat is eaten in the deep south but they eat more fish. The north and centre is very much meat-oriented - if you go to a restaurant you’re quite limited - if you’re a vegan you’re fucked.
Ya I lost loads of weight on keto but had to quit it because I got constipated too much
We came to that conclusion too. The one thing we did find was a good substitute for meat was finely chopped mushrooms. Don’t use them in chilli but often when making lasagna or spaghetti bolognaise. Chestnut mushrooms seem to be the best because of their flavour, it’s almost meaty. Portobello are also pretty good.
Porcini are a decent alternative.
You should try eating meat! REAL bacon! Not cardboard shit!
It’s because you’re eating clean protein. There’s a great documentary called Game Changer which goes into this in detail. Worth a watch.
I supplement with vegan protein powder because I lift weights and box (only occasionally now) - most people won’t need anything close to 140g a day.
Things like Soy milk are also high in protein and B12. I get my recommended daily B12 requirements from having cereal (which is also fortified with B12) and Soy milk.
I sometimes suffer from bad insomnia and since switching I’ve been sleeping much, much better.
Vegan protein powder. Tried Huel black edition for a meal replacement? High in protein also.
When "Impossible meat" get's approved over here it'll be a game changer. The ground beef/mince meat subsitute is incredible - it really really tastes like the real deal
I love the stuff. It's difficult to describe the taste - it's a bit like peppery mince.
So yesterday was Pea Milk, tomorrow will be Potato Milk…watch this space!
