I am so happy to share my interview with my friend Stephanie James. She has lost almost 140 pounds and maintained it with a healthy plant based diet. She has her healthy vegan eating DIALED IN! She shares all sorts of tips & tricks that could be helpful for viewers.
I am so grateful that Stephanie took the time to share her story and expertise. So much wisdom and advice shared from two women, each with almost a decade of experience each, eating a healthy plant based diet. Here are some key things we discussed:
* Shifting from traditional weight loss programs to our own way of eating. Shifting from a standard meat based diet to vegetarian to vegan.
* Doing the inner work to trust ourselves with food, diet, health, weight, and an overall healthy lifestyle.
* MINDSET and how key this is. It is the foundation of shifting to a healthier diet and maintaining it long term.
* The support of our loved ones and how to work with them as we make changes in our diet and our health.
* Our favorite resources for delicious healthy plant based recipes.
* Navigating social eating, family, friends, standing up for your needs vs people pleasing.
* Meal planning and food prep tips. Healthy snack ideas. Packing lunches for busy work days. Cooking bulk starches and our favorite sauces.
* Bulk cooking with this formula: Beans + Grains + Greens (and of course some seasonings and/or sauces)
* Great quote from Stephanie: “COOK ONCE EAT THRICE” How many meals can I get out of this 20-30 minutes I take to cook & prep food?
* Taking the time to nurture ourselves by preparing healthy, tasty food that serves our bodies well.
