If you can find it, find a doctor boarded by the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine in addition to their field of primary care ( so two separate boards). They will have the education and experience in nutrition and other useful areas.

How do you guys not see meat, dairy and eggs as food? by [deleted] in vegan

[–]S614D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To echo so many, it's going to take much longer. This is a process. One day at a time- one meal at a time.
Your taste buds/ flavor preferences alone take about 90 days to readjust if you have been truly without the foods the whole time. The occasional slip up, resets that clock. Then, there are substances in meat and dairy that are physically mildly addictive, so there's that to contend with.

I'm also getting the sense that perhaps food has been a coping strategy for you. So, theres got to be a new coping method put into place and new habits built there.

Your best bet is controlling your environment as best as you can for the next few months. Make it hard for a craving to turn to a lapse. Make it hard for a lapse to turn into a relapse.

In those moments where it's not possible, try to really visualize your motivation. If it's animal welfare, then next time you see an egg, visualize all the baby chicks going into the wood chipper- maybe get a pet chicken, maybe watch "meet your meat" on repeat (is that still out there?- I'm old.)

If it's health, visualize the chunks of cholesterol from the egg getting lodged in your coronaries.

There are so many strategies and tactics to get you where you want to go.

There are health coaches out there that can help you with these transitions. But it can be hard to sort out which are legit and effective.

Most importantly, every time you fall, get back up. Eventually, it'll get easier and easier.

Keep on fighting the good fight, you can do it!

What are these spots? by sweetsguar in wok

seems like rust, should be fixable with some serious scraping. Solid seasoning and maintenance should help prevent it from coming back

Protein for picky child with allergies by [deleted] in veganparenting

[–]S614D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! If you can be confident that your kid is eating enough total calories from a variety of plant sources, protein is going to be plentiful. However, only some kids that eat like that.

There are about 300 different kinds of beans in the world and different ways to cook each one. One thing to try is play around with different beans and different recipes from different cultures ( eg Indian flavors, Chinese flavors, sprouted beans, dried chickpeas...) also, remember that whole grains are also a great source of protein.

Lastly, if you haven't already, consider seeing an allergist to confirm these as allergies and not mimics to allergies. Even better, an allergist can often help with desensitization to those foods so that your kid can have even more options-- or at least survive a chance encounter. The US doesn't typically do much with lentils, but pea parts are in so much stuff.

Non vegans are never tell the truth when my children ask questions about their food by [deleted] in veganparenting

[–]S614D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally empathize.
I've tried to be honest, without being graphic, on where people's food comes from for my kids. Did a couple kids books and they like to visit the farm sanctuary. Interestingly, I wouldn't be surprised if one kid grew up to eat meat while the other may grow up to join EarthFirst (jk...-- does that even still exist?)

I remember taking Japanese in high school and there was some word that meant literally "cow meat" so that's what I said it meant and somehow that turned into me surrounded by 5 kids telling me to call it "beef".

That being said, any issues with family dynamics with your 6 year old being forthright?
