Vegan MenusPeople have been asking me for sample vegan menus for some time now.
I think this is especially helpful for busy people who just don't have a lot of time to think about how to put together a healthy, balanced, meal plan for the day, let alone to cook one. I also really think that having some sample vegan menus to look at can help you figure out how to make your own menu plans.
Two types of menus:
People who are make most of their meals themselves.
People who eat most of their meals at the office restaurants.
Remember... it's best not to think of this as a diet. It's more of a lifestyle change. You can eat as much food as you want, as long as it's the right kind of food. These menus should help give you direction, and then once you understand the concept behind balancing vegan meals, you can make your own menus.

Now, that doesn't mean you should gorge yourself until you are stuffed. A lot of people think they will never be full if they don't eat meat and dairy products, but believe me, you will get full. And you don't need to stuff yourself to do that.
Eat until you are full, and give your body some time to figure out if it's full. I read that it takes about 15 minutes for your body to register the food in it and then send signals to your brain about whether it needs more. So, take your time. Eat, relax, enjoy, and then if you want, eat more.
That sounds very anti-American, doesn't it? Well, so be it. If you have to make it a fast lunch, eat and then save some for later. I have been known to save half my sandwich and eat the rest an hour later. Whatever works for you. Far too many people have stopped listening to their bodies when it comes to food. If something makes your stomach upset after you eat it, don't eat it! If you are hungry, eat. If you are not hungry, don't eat.
