The Kind Diet

The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the PlanetI always have my Kind Diet book to hand - I love browsing through it and re-reading the recipes and different levels of veganism Alicia talks about.

To build the perfect (vegan) meal she suggests it is based around the three same elements: grains, beans, and vegetables.  Basically we should think of our meals as one quarter grain, one-quarter protein, and one-half vegetables. 

I have kept this in mind whilst planning my meals for the week and making my shopping list - I love a good list.

  1. Sounds like a good list!
    Similar to ours. Phill and I are big on canned beans and chick peas. Has it's side effects though!
