What’s the most important thing or change you’ve learned/made in the past 5 years.
For me it has to be that vegetarian based meals are not inferior to meat based dishes. I find myself preparing and trying so many interesting and great dishes that I would’ve never considered 10 years ago.
How about you?
The 80/20 rule… although it is more 90/10 for me.
For example, being full vegan is awfully hard (at the start), but eating vegan 90 percent of the time is actually super easy.
Biking instead of driving most of the time is much easier than telling yourself to cycle every day.
We often treat things as all or nothing… And sure, I’d love to be perfect at all the things I find important, but doing so puts certain things out of reach because it makes me frustrated and give up on good intentions.
I like this one. I don’t go quite as far as 80/20 or 90/10, but I try to progress. Like I generally avoid beef, now. Recently stopped eating squid and octopus (it’s popular where I live). Next step will be pork, then chicken, though chicken’s gonna be really tough. But yeah, still a good strategy
I found for me it helped a lot to focus less on what you’ll stop eating, but on what you will start eating instead.
Learn to make a few epic bean/lentil curries/chillis. Experiment with alternative protein sources. Get real good at making tofu in a few different ways.
