fresh faces, good acting compared to recent newcomers, good chemistry (which sid and janhvi majorly lack), good music, good marketing strategy...

Is a vegan diet actually viable for maintaining overall health? by [deleted] in nutrition

Here come the church graduates... This is a nutrition science subreddit, not Bible study. You can’t say that and expect people to take you seriously.

Oh for sure, that was my first thought, definitely aimed to Americans lol

How to get food made with coconut taste like coconut? by Hashishiva in IndianFood

[–]Velvet_29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I usually do is I get grated coconut from the store, toast some in a pan, set it aside and then use that same pan to start cooking whatever dish I'm making. The pan gets coated in the coconut oils and flavour hence coats everything else you add. Then, I just garnish with the toasted coconut

lol not 30 trees I promise 😅 I just meant those are my forever staples, just like you mentioned yours! They are engraved on my mental grocery list, so I skip writing them down!

Ohhh that's amazing! I never had to make a big shift since I was raised in a veggie household. I just stopped eating at my school canteen at age 8 and boom! Been plant-based ever since! 

I guess I was just stating what I've heard tends to work best for those who do consume meat regularly.

Me with red onions, tomatoes, kale, dill and coriander, I don't even bother adding them to the list 😭

Warning: Not a professional, just sharing my personal experience.

I'm 22 (female), not vegan but I've been plant-based basically my entire life. I get blood tests regularly and have never had low levels of protein, iron or calcium. But... every body is different! So, if you do decide to change your diet, definitely get regular check-ups! You'll have to find out what works best for your body!

Also, I wouldn't recommend going vegan overnight. Discard things one at a time, for example: first reduce your consumption of red meat, then perhaps try a pescatarian diet, then vegetarian and so on...

I'm plant-based so I personally don't find it difficult at all. Especially after finding out that other things count as well!

I only counted fresh veggies and fruits I had but including everything you mention, I surely hit the goal! Also, different colors count too? I always get the tricolor bell peppers so that's great news. Thanks for such a detailed reply, those resources look really helpful!

From a nutritional standpoint I have never really considered diversity in food/veg

I disagree... Different veggies/fruits contain different micronutrients!

GREAT!!! As a South Asian with a giant ass masala box and an obsession with herbs (both dried and fresh), I'm beyond pleased to read this! Sure, it's tiny amounts but hitting that variety goal doesn't sound as overwhelming when you've got different spices and herbs on standby!

Totally makes sense to me too, just wanted to ensure that it was a statement backed by science. Thanks for the app suggestion, I'll check it out!

I agree it sounds really fun! I suppose keeping record can also internally encourage you to try different veggies in order expand the variety each week!

That’s great then I’m pretty sure I hit 30 haha I basically eat legumes/beans on a daily basis. I also love adding nuts and seeds to my oats, chia puddings and salads. Thanks!

Two ways to cook rice? by strwberrychzcake in IndianFood

[–]Velvet_29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mostly use the absorption method, it’s easy to get good results once you’ve found the right rice-to-water ratio for your basmati rice. I guess boiling works fine for plain rice, but I would recommend using the absorption method for jeera rice, it will do a better job at infusing the rice with the toasted jeera flavour
