I think I figured out the lack of weight loss. I've been doing some more research and it seems like I'm not the only one has the problem from the beginning. I've been so excited about all of these delicious meals that I can make that are similar to the things that I was eating when I wasn't vegan that I didn't take nutrition into consideration. I knew I was eating a lot of vegetable, but I was also eating a lot of sugar and processed foods.
For breakfast I was eating Shredded Wheat and this week it's Chex cereal. From now on I will eat oatmeal, whole wheat bagels, or something else.
For lunch I was eating my leftover dinners.
For dinner I was making lasagna, thick soups with lots of carbs from sweet potatoes, and bread.
All of it was delicious, don't get me wrong, but since things weren't changing, I finally did the research, looked at what I was eating, and now know that I need to eat more natural foods. This week's dinners are being made from the Superhero section of The Kind Diet. Lunches haven't been that great and I'm still trying to figure out breakfast.
That meal plan that's in Alicia's book is really going to be useful when I go shopping this weekend!
Goodbye sugar, goodbye processed foods!
