If not meat, do you eat only plant-based junk food then? Because in order to do plant-based right according to plant-based doctors and gurus, you'll have to buy and eat lots of organic produce, which ain't cheap. You don't have to go organic, but then you'll be consuming a ton of pesticides. You'll also have to spend on supplements such as B12, Zinc, Calcium, etc.
Since I switched to an animal-based diet, I've saved significantly not only on food, but on medications, doctors visits, and supplements I no longer need.
Nope, the only processed/prepared foods I eat are block tofu, whey powder, yogurt, and cheese. Everything else is just individual ingredients that I prepare. I don’t think those “plant based” prepared foods are any healthier than their meat-containing counterparts.
At least half of my meals are a scoop of whey, a spoonful of nut butter, and 1-2 pieces of fruit. If I find a plant-based protein powder that is as drinkable as whey, I’d switch but they’ve all been thick and gritty. Otherwise it’s all beans, fruits, vegetables, and grains.
It’s a common misconception that organic produce isn’t grown with pesticides. They are, just with “organic-based” pesticides. In some cases, such as with citrus, the organic fruit uses the same pesticides as the conventional. As to the need for supplementation, that’s not the case unless you are strict vegan which i am not. I even eat meat a couple times a month, I just cut down my consumption drastically from my bodybuilding days (oh brother)
Glad to hear your diet is working for you, I wish you continued good health and well-being in the future.
