I will approach this text quite personally and honestly, for the reason that I would like to have been told this when I first switched from a lifelong vegetarianism to a vegan diet.
Yes, you will say, easy for a vegetarian who doesn’t even know how meat tastes like, ever heard about our ancestor on a vegan regime? There is some truth in that until you include your family in the equation, in my case the love of my life, my husband. One of definitely the best chefs in the world ( subjective opinion 🙂 ) , all life omnivore, after my easy and manipulative introduction of vegan foods and the elimination of meat and animal products, just two basic things played a major role in this transition. Homemade bread and fake meat. Namely, I spent almost two years perfecting various forms of fake meat for him because I didn’t miss meat, but I didn’t want to harm hubby in any way, especially not by losing muscle mass.
My first meatball that was vegan was grated potatoes , garlic , salt & pepper and a little flour. But I soon discovered seeds like sesame (excellent fake chicken,) sunflower (slightly stronger meat flavor is achieved with spices) like beef or pork, but the crown is patty made of green and red lentils each as a different kind of meat, green lentils seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper, red smoked paprika, turmeric and dried rosemary (they say it tastes like lamb) while we season cooked red lentils with oregano and other spices as stated in the recipes that you can find free in our application.
Indeed when we were doing an experiment where we were offering guests a tortilla or a sandwich with these meats that are completely natural, hommade, people were very pleased, some didn’t even notice it wasn’t real meat. Since veganism implies an ecological approach, raising livestock for food is shameful for humanity. I have bad taste for industrial vegan and vegetarian processed products including processed fake meat, which are possibly worse than the original foods. Homogenization, overprocessing, and lots of sugar, msg, and salt make them more dangerous than one might imagine. The meaning of this approach is that you make your own food from the original as much as possible, and such recipes are supported by Circle diet application meal plans, there is nothing processed in it.
All recipes are original and from original minimally processed foods. (Choose one of our standard diet plans – meditterian, mindfulness, fitness, sports). In case of health disorders, there are our health meal plans, and for home health testing use the Circle Diet Urine Box Strip with 11 health parameters tested with urine and results are tied to meal plans according to the diagnosis from our healthpro part of the offer. Circle diet meal plans are very easy to make and can turn your life around. Otherwise you can use such meat substitutes for dishes other than sandwiches and tortillas, any fast food will do.
Here you can use these recipes for risotto pasta, goulash and fake mediteranean sarma, which is a completely original recipe that gives the taste of sarma ( originaly minced meat and rice wraped in pickled cabbage leaf ) and i recipe all ingredients are healthy. For now, in short, master fake meat even if you, like me, don’t need it, for example, if you want to seduce someone to vegan side without losing flavor, you can only loose weight and use it for the purpose of rejuvenation.
