I have been so busy lately that I haven’t been eating healthily- I keep opting for noodles, toast, anything that takes under five minutes to make. This has led me to feel some pretty awful hypoglycemic like symptoms in the afternoon- I crash, can’t concentrate, get shaky, headaches, and a raging appetite that just leads me back to starchy awful carbs that just drive my blood sugar right back up again. It’s a horrible cycle. I’m going to see my doctor next week, as well as a naturopath, so I can see whats going on with my body, stop this awful fatigue, and feel better. I will also do my best to abstain from refined carbohydrates- they are now the enemy >__>

I'm an omnivore attempting a vegan diet for the entire month of September. I hope to continue being vegan come October. This is my progress diary! I will be posting everything related to my transition from omnivore to vegan.

This is the upside down lentil shepherd’s pie from appetite for reduction. So I haven’t made it look very appetizing, but my god. This was incredibly satisfying. The mash ‘potato’ is actually half cauliflower. The lentil filling includes mushroom, carrot, zucchini, garlic, and onion. Freaking delicious. The mushrooms had soaked up all of the vegetable broth and were full of flavour. yap
Sizzling ‘lamb’ in black bean sauce.
Wholemeal spaghetti with green beans, cannellini beans, mushroom, garlic and thyme.
Genmai-Cha - Brown rice tea with macha. Yum
Thai cucumber salad, home made spring rolls with vegetables and black bean sauce, teriyaki stir fry with broccoli, baby corn, carrot, beans, onion, tofu, and rice noodles
I can’t get over how tasty fry’s burger patties are. I’ve been eating so many burgers lately, and a lot of potato, so I haven’t really had any exciting meals to take pictures of. A new vegan cookbook should arrive in my mailbox soon, can’t wait to try out ze recipes. ~~
GOOD MORNING AUSTRALIA!
I should jump in here and say it: I’m a CocoLuscious addict. I first tried it as an omni and it may or may not be a large part of the reason I became vegan.
A few of the flavours in The Green Edge, my local vegan shop thing.CocoLuscious is a coconut…
THE BEST!

So this evening my mum made me a “vegan” pastie with corn, peas, swedes and turnip. I asked her several times before I started eating: “Are you sure this is vegan? Are you sure the pastry is vegan? No cheese, milk, or anything?”, to which she assured me that she had checked everything to make sure. After I started eating she then said, “I added a dash of worcestershire sauce and soy sauce for the flavour.”
*facepalm*
“Mum, you do know that worcestershire sauce has anchovies in it?”
“Oh, what? Where? Oh I’m sorry, it doesn’t have that much in it.”
