VB6: Part-Time Vegan

If the idea of completely cutting out animal products scares you but you would like to try veganism or vegetarianism, then there's a new trend that might work for you. Here we tell you all about VB6.   VB6 stands for Vegan Before Six and is the new book by Mark Bittman, who writes about gastronomy for The New York Times. According to his research, one can eat vegan from the moment you wake up until six in the evening to lose weight, regain health, and detoxify the body. This way, breakfast and lunch become a new diet that does not allow meats, but dinner is free to enjoy as you please. According to the author, the most dangerous aspect of the modern diet is the minimal amount of fruits and vegetables we consume daily. If you find yourself with high cholesterol and sugar levels and have problems sleeping or breathing, then it is likely that your diet is deficient. The idea of VB6 is that from the moment you wake up until dinner time, you can only eat organic ingredients, grains, products away from animal production, and much closer to plants and legumes, in all their forms. For dinner, on the other hand, you can eat whatever you want. What he tries to do in the book is illustrate that vegan food is not boring and that it is not just carrots and lettuce; it is much more. The point is not to feel restricted but rather the opposite; by limiting ourselves to certain types of products, we open up the possibility of diving into a different universe where the number of alternatives is infinite. Lentil pâtés and flavorful vegetable broths are just the beginning, as many things are vegan without us realizing it. Mark Bittman also tries to guide you on the right path, as vegan does not strictly mean healthy; in fact, potato chips and sodas can be vegan. So the book includes ideas for meals that keep you healthy, energized, and losing weight daily. The most important tips: 1. Fill your kitchen with healthy products; cooking is essential to maintain this diet. 2. It's not that difficult; allowing yourself to eat whatever you want for dinner gives you the reward you've earned throughout the day, and you can enjoy it guilt-free.     Vegan Recipes Remember to click on the names to see the full recipe.   Tai Salad Crispy Vegetable Tartare Miso Glazed Eggplant Vegetarian Pastor Peach Ice Cream     What do you think about being vegan part-time?
