When I first learned about meal prepping, I thought that only professional bodybuilders did it. At the time, I saw meal prepping as a boring way to stay in shape. Sure, you were tracking your calories and macronutrients (less so your micronutrients), but the point was clear. Cook the food, portion it, eat it, and […]
Food System 101 In November of 2022, the human population crossed 8 billion. When I first heard of the news, I felt a sudden shock. The weight of it bore many questions, and concerns. Our population has been increasing at a steady rate in the last century. Calling it an increase is an understatement, it’s […]
Alongside the common “protein concern” regarding plant-based diets, one thing that comes up quite frequently is vitamin B12. I’ll be honest, before going vegan, I never heard of B12. It’s as if it didn’t exist, only to spring up once I changed my lifestyle. Growing up, I heard about zinc, iron, and vitamin C. B12 […]
Veganuary is a cool concept. I have to admit that it’s nice to have a month dedicated to veganism. It’s a month that highlights awareness, and that invites people to try to eat plant-based for 31 days. For some, this could be a challenge, for others it can be an opportunity. No matter why someone […]
This year, I set a goal for myself to write one blog article every month. Prior to that, I wasn’t the most consistent of writers. I would have my occasional streak where I publish something consistently, but then trail off for a bit. So, I decided to stay on point for one full year, which […]
I’ll start the blog by saying that I love soy. The humble soybean is full of nutrients, especially protein. For many people that don’t eat meat, soy is a life saver. You can find soy in tofu, soy milk, TVP, and alternatives. It’s super versatile and can fit in any dish perfectly fine. Soy is […]
Being vegan is very interesting. It’s one of those things that seemingly brings you attention when mentioned. Oh, you’re vegan? How’s that like? How long have you been vegan? Why are you vegan? The default questions that I typically receive are harmless. People are generally curious when they meet a vegan because it’s not common […]
One thing I love about London is how vegan friendly the city is. This type of inclusivity traverses the entirety of Europe – with a plethora of diverse vegan restaurants and alternatives. Having options allows vegans, and non-vegans alike, to try plant-based foods without compromising on taste. Living in a vegan-friendly city / country provides […]
This is a moment that I have been waiting for a while now. When I reached 6 years of veganism, I realised that I’m slowly approaching a decade. Every day that goes by brings me closer to that milestone. It’s a cool milestone, and I hope to reach it. Also, it’s not often that I […]
My parents came to visit my brother and I in London last month for a week. I don’t get to see my parents often, so whenever I do, it’s something that I cherish dearly. We got to see different parts of London, and had a day trip to Cambridge. Naturally, they also spent their own […]
