Optimal Well Being is Within Reach

Veganomics

The foundation of my eating is plant based. That means I eat lots of vegetables and fruits. I include some grains, too. I do not eat many products that come from animals. That means beef, chicken, fish, cheese, eggs, yogurt, or milk. When I do, my choices are as ethical and environmental as possible. That might mean a turkey that was raised at a nearby farm or eggs from a local farmer. No surprise - not many processed foods make it into my grocery cart.

On a daily basis I aim to eat
4 or more fruits
1# of cooked vegetables
1# of raw vegetables
Assorted nuts
Beans
A Grain based salad

I live in the great Northwest, which offers the opportunity to eat fabulous salmon. It's delicious.

I also travel regularly. I still stick to my usual foods, but there are times when I might choose something else.

I believe that as I mostly eat in what is more commonly called vegan, I am at my healthiest. I would not have imagined that this would happen - even the the fairly recent past. However, as I have continued to read and study nutrition, I continue to be willing to test new waters for myself. My path has led me to release foods I used to eat. Now that I don't eat them, I don't miss them or want them.

Everyone is on a life path. I think everyone is on a food path.

I think food is amazing, fun and wonderful - to be celebrated and enjoyed. Food is also my foundation for optimal health.
