Your Plant-Based Eating Journey Start your plant-based eating journey Tel: +44 (0)203 488 0890 | Website: gutreaction.co.uk | Email: [email protected] | Start your plant-based eating journey here Being vegan is really fashionable right now, and those in favour of this way of eating will tell you that it’s the absolutely healthiest diet you can have from a nutritional perspective, plus you get to save, not only the lives of animals but the planet, too. I’ve talked more about the back-drop to this in my blog ‘Why I still choose personalised nutrition over extreme diets’, and encourage you to take a read now, if you haven’t already. For many people embracing a new way of eating, it can be a stretch to go from their current habits to 100% vegan overnight. So, I want to help you be clear about what it means to be vegan, what’s great about it, what’s not so good, where you might struggle - and I’ll also be giving you tips for getting started, whether your intention is to immerse yourself fully or if you just fancy dabbling (and of course, either is totally fine!). What is a vegan diet? A vegan diet is a stricter version of a vegetarian diet. On top of not eating any meat, fish or seafood i.e. dead animals, a vegan diet also cuts out any food stuffs made from animal sources, so, not just cutting out chicken meat, but also cutting out eggs. Not just cutting out beef but also milk, yoghurt, butter and cream. And that means honey, too, as well as certain wines* and desserts (gelatin). Unlike some of the more commercial diets, there is no pre- defined macro nutrient ratio for a vegan diet; just vegetables, grains, fruit, nuts, seeds and any other foods made from plants. However, since the main vegan protein sources are pulses and grains, and only a combination of the two provides complete proteins (containing all the amino acids), this can be a high carbohydrate diet by definition. 1 * If you’re wondering ‘why is wine not vegan?’ Here’s the answer…All young wines are a little bit cloudy thanks to tiny molecules like proteins, tartrates, tannins and phenolics. These are completely harmless, but wine-drinkers typically like wines to be clear and bright. To make the wines clear, wine makers have traditionally used some added ingredients called ‘fining agents’ to help the process along. These include casein (milk protein) or albumin (egg whites), gelatin (animal protein) or isinglass (fish bladder protein). They act like a magnet, resulting in far fewer, but larger, particles that are more easily removed. Advantages of going vegan • Cruelty-free • Promotes natural foods • Rich in vitamin C and fibre, plus other plant chemicals • Helpful for some health conditions (rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, other auto-immune conditions). ‘Disadvantages’ of going vegan • Natural food is not a requirement to ‘comply’ with vegan • Does not explicitly encourage healthy eating patterns • May be nutrient deficient (B12, haem iron, omega-3 fats, complete protein) • Often high in carbohydrates • Can be too low in protein, especially if you’re stressed or recovering from adrenal fatigue • Not suitable for elderly, pregnant women, type 2 diabetics, or those with high triglycerides or carbohydrate intolerance • Not always practical, especially when travelling abroad • Whilst health presides over weight in my book, if you’re actively trying to lose weight, vegan may or may not be effective 2 Is being vegan healthy? Good question! A vegan diet doesn’t mean a healthy diet. There have been various well-publicised assertions over the years (most notably the book The China Study and, more recently, the film What The Health) that claimed eating a vegan diet was the healthiest thing you could do. Although vegans commonly take an interest in how diet relates to health and tend to educate themselves about nutrition, the vegan diet does not explicitly prescribe healthy foods. There is a vegan alternative for every junk food out there. And you can live on white toast with margarine and jam (and see your blood sugar levels sky rocket) while still being vegan – and that is certainly not healthy. However, despite the many different dietary approaches out there (think paleo, veggie, raw food, keto, fasting etc), everyone agrees on is that the following is healthy: • Enjoy an abundance of freshly prepared vegetables • Minimise processed foods and instead cook meals from scratch • Eat mindfully and slowly • Choose local, organic foods Given the vast majority of health complaints are linked to chronic inflammation and a plant-heavy, antioxidant-rich vegan diet will go some way to mediating inflammation, and supporting your health efforts. Given we don’t eat nearly as much fibre as we should for optimum health, committing to eating more veg is only going to be a good thing. 3 Things to be mindful of if you go vegan • Vegan diets don’t provide the fat soluble vitamins A and D. You can’t get vitamin A from carrots. What you get is beta carotene, which is the precursor to vitamin A. • You may have heard that carotene can be converted into vitamin A, but this conversion is usually insignificant. First, it takes a huge amount of carotene to convert create amount of actual vitamin A. And, if you have low thyroid function, impaired digestion or a lack of healthy fats in the diet, this conversion won’t happen at all. • Vegan diets (unless you’re eating a lot of natto – a kind of fermented soy) don’t give you the vitamin K2. This is needed for shuttling calcium into your bones. • Many people try to be vegan by relying on fake food – they replace milk, cheese and meat with foods manufactured to look and taste as though they are milk, cheese and meat. Since food manufacturing is not like magic, what is used is non-foodstuffs, including stabilisers, gums, thickeners and highly processed protein extracts. Moreover, you may be counting your vegan cheese in as a source of protein, when many of them are actually made from carbs. • Vegan diets are low on vitamin B12 and iron. The readily- absorbed forms of these nutrients are found in animal products. Several studies (see notes) suggest that up to 68% of vegans were deficient in vitamin B12. • Several studies have shown that both vegetarians and vegans are also prone to deficiencies in calcium, iron, zinc, and essential fats (see notes). 4 How to get started Some people like to make changes all in one go. If this is you, choosing a vegan recipe book from the resources I’ve listed below will be helpful. Or you might try changing one meal at a time – possible having a vegan breakfast during your first week, adding a vegan lunch during week two and so on. You might try changing one product at a time, for example, swapping traditional cow’s milk for almond milk, or butter for coconut oil. There’s now a plant-based alternative for most things you can think of. One thing that you can look forward to is some exciting new recipes. Bring the principles of being vegan into your life even a few days a week (assuming we are talking veg-based meals rather than fake or junk foods) will deliver a whole new taste experience. There will be things that you love – and things the family rejects. It’s all part of the fun of discovering new things. As I recommend whenever someone is making diet or lifestyle changes, a core component to your long-term success and mind- body health is being intuitive and listening to the messages (signs, symptoms, inner-wisdom) your body is giving you. Only you hold the answers as to what ultimately feels right for you.

  • Derogatory Discourses of Veganism and the Reproduction of Speciesism in UK 1 National Newspapers Bjos 1348 134..152
    The British Journal of Sociology 2011 Volume 62 Issue 1 Vegaphobia: derogatory discourses of veganism and the reproduction of speciesism in UK 1 national newspapers bjos_1348 134..152 Matthew Cole and Karen Morgan Abstract This paper critically examines discourses of veganism in UK national newspapers in 2007. In setting parameters for what can and cannot easily be discussed, domi- nant discourses also help frame understanding. Discourses relating to veganism are therefore presented as contravening commonsense, because they fall outside readily understood meat-eating discourses. Newspapers tend to discredit veganism through ridicule, or as being difficult or impossible to maintain in practice. Vegans are variously stereotyped as ascetics, faddists, sentimentalists, or in some cases, hostile extremists. The overall effect is of a derogatory portrayal of vegans and veganism that we interpret as ‘vegaphobia’. We interpret derogatory discourses of veganism in UK national newspapers as evidence of the cultural reproduction of speciesism, through which veganism is dissociated from its connection with debates concerning nonhuman animals’ rights or liberation. This is problematic in three, interrelated, respects. First, it empirically misrepresents the experience of veganism, and thereby marginalizes vegans. Second, it perpetuates a moral injury to omnivorous readers who are not presented with the opportunity to understand veganism and the challenge to speciesism that it contains. Third, and most seri- ously, it obscures and thereby reproduces

  • Soy Products As Healthy and Functional Foods
    Middle-East Journal of Scientific Research 7 (1): 71-80, 2011 ISSN 1990-9233 © IDOSI Publications, 2011 Soy Products as Healthy and Functional Foods Hossein Jooyandeh Department of Food Science and Technology, Ramin Agricultural and Natural Resources University, Mollasani, Khuzestan, Iran Abstract: Over the recent decades, researchers have documented the health benefits of soy protein, especially for those who take soy protein daily. Soy products offer a considerable appeal for a growing segment of consumers with certain dietary and health concerns. It is quite evident that soy products do reduce the risks of developing various age-related chronic diseases and epidemiologic data strongly suggest that populations that regularly consume soy products have reduced incidence and prevalence of the aforementioned age-related conditions and diseases than populations that eat very little soy. The subject of what specific components is responsible for the plethora of reported health benefits of soybean remains a strong controversial issue, as the scientific community continues to understand what component(s) in soy is /are responsible for its health benefits. Soy constituents’ benefits mostly relate to the reduction of cholesterol levels and menopause symptoms and the reduction of the risk for several chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis. A variety of soy products are available on the market with different flavors and textures and a low-fat, nutritionally balanced diet can be developed from them. This article summarized the beneficial health, nutritional and functional properties of the soy ingredients and intends to illustrate the most current knowledge with a consciousness to motivate further research to optimize their favorable effects.

    How to Feed a Vegan and Why Your Restaurant Should A Helpful Guide From Your Friendly Neighborhood Vegan VEGAN This publication brought to you by Vegan America America Making America Vegan Friendly! Vegan Options Give Your Restaurant a Competitive Edge! What is a vegan? And why should you, the owner or manager of a traditional restaurant, care? After all, you’re not a “health food” restaurant, so why would you offer vegan op- tions? To gain an edge on your competition, that’s why! Here is some food for thought. The Vegan Veto A vegan is a person who does not eat food containing animal ingredients - no meat, eggs, dairy products or honey. As you might imag- ine, these restrictions often make it difficult for vegans to find something satisfying to eat at restaurants that do not cater to vegetarians. In fact, all too often, vegans who visit a traditional restaurant when dining out with fam- ily and friends are in for a dull, unsatisfying “meal” of salad or steamed vegetables and they are therefore not likely to return. Although most people imagine that vegans subsist on a steady diet of vegetables and little else, the reality is that most vegans today enjoy vegan versions of many of the most popular foods in our culture. They do this by “veganizing” them, substituting non-animal based ingredients with vegan ingredients which serve the same purpose. For example, due to the wide array of meat and dairy analogs on the market today, including vegan cheese, vegan pepperoni and vegan sausage, vegans can enjoy a “meat-lover’s” pizza which looks the same, tastes the same, and satisfies the same as one made from animal-based ingredients.

M/C Journal, Vol 22, No 2 (2019) Being a Bad Vegan Lelia Green Abstract According to The Betoota Advocate (Parker), a CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) paper has recently established that “it takes roughly seven minutes on average for a vegan to tell you that they’re vegan” (qtd. in Harrington et al. 135). For such a statement to have currency as a joke means that it is grounded in a shared experience of being vegan on the one hand, and of encountering vegans on the other. Why should vegans feel such a need to justify themselves? I recognise the observation as being true of me, and this article is one way to explore this perspective: writing to find out what I currently only intuit. As Richardson notes (516), writing is “a way of ‘knowing’—a method of discovery and analysis. By writing in different ways, we discover new aspects of our topic and our relationship to it. Form and content are inseparable” (qtd.

    – an EVEN exclusive interview – with Gary Yourofsky Educator, Liberator As of January 1, 2015 Gary Yourofsky has given 2,660 lectures to more than 60,000 people at 186 schools in 30 states and several Israeli cities/schools, including the U. of Alabama, U. of Florida and Georgia Tech. His lecture has been translated into more than 30 languages for over 10 million YouTube hits. Activists in Israel created the Hebrew website GARY- TV and convinced two major vegan companies to put that site's URL directly on their packages! Lecturing is a softer approach for Yourofsky, who has been arrested numerous times for random acts of kindness and compassion, and banished by five countries from entering their borders. In 1997, Gary liberated more than 1,500 soon-to-be-murdered minks from the Eberts Fur Farm in Blenheim, Ontario. He has written, produced and completed voiceovers for graphic TV ads in LA, Detroit, Corpus Christi, Chicago and others. Exclusive EVEN Interview with Gary Yourofsky, October 2015 Yourofsky's inspirational actions have been covered by newspapers, radio outlets, and TV stations around the world. Born on August 19, 1970, Yourofsky holds a B.A. in journalism from Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, and a radio/broadcasting degree from Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts in Southfield, Michigan. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EVEN: How did veganism become part of your life?
