At WVegan on Facebook [ Ссылка ] we share recipes, social tips, and personal testimony about health recovery through whole plants.
We share ONLY information from influencers who STRICTLY follow The Forks Over Knives message, carefully vetting material from lesser known sources. It's one of the things we appreciate most about Chef AJ's show... Even if we've never heard of the interviewee, we can trust they aren't promoting olive oil and unnecessary supplements in their fine print.
Unlike many other WFPBNO groups, we avoid sharing tempting recipes packed with technically compliant ingredients on the red end of the calorie density scale. Those inevitably cause weight gain for people like Chuck and me -- our group services people who have trouble shedding weight, like we do.
Sharing the Good News from the Forks Over Knives doctors, we encourage lighter foods and the 50/50 plate as much as possible. When we share recipes with nuts, flours, dried fruits, syrups, etc., we usually flag those recipes as appropriate for only rare occasions such as holidays and social gatherings -- but not for daily maintenance. We never share anything with coconut because it's a saturated fat and a no-no for those of us cultivating cardiovascular health.
We encourage discussion about personal experience, wins, and struggles. Many of our members are experienced and happy to help new members with suggestions/ solutions. A surprising number of our members have been on this show.
Chuck and I are by no means perfect. We are in our mid-60s and are now paying taxes due on 5+ decades of terrible food choices. Both of us hated vegetables, preferring processed junk loaded with too much salt, sugar, saturated fat, and cholesterol.
It isn't always possible to fix *all* the we may have done... However, it IS possible to make VAST improvements according to the limits of our genetics and abilities.
We want everybody to TRY -- to not entertain discouragement if they can't reach perfection. We are both immensely happy with our new selves, even though we are still flawed. I purposely share our failings once in awhile to encourage others to keep going.
To join our group, applicants MUST answer our required questions. Try again if you weren't admitted the first time. We require this a bit of commitment because we take this Good News seriously -- and are seeking motivated members to do the same.
Every October, our Supper Club hosts a THANKSGIVING PRACTICE POTLUCK so people can try heart healthy versions of traditionally lardy holiday fare.
It's critical to be ready for these important social events. Failing to plan is planning to fail.
Join WVegan to request tips about starting a supper club in your area. We hope others will start enjoying this kind of fellowship in their area.
ODE TO THE POTATO
Potatoes are my food of choice,
they have not made me fatter.
In fact, they made a smaller Me
that caused my friends to chatter.
You can't have oil? Why all the carbs?
When do you eat? -- they natter.
I answer slowly with a smile:
It doesn't really matter.
I eat when hungry, and when not
-- while eating in between.
I eat when bored or craving junk...
When happy, sad, or mean.
I pack potatoes in my purse
So junk will not enslave me.
When tempted, I just eat a spud --
Potatoes always save me.
I do not have to wonder IF,
or WHEN, or WHAT, or WHY;
I eat a spud to stop the noise --
much happier am I!
I eat whenever fancy strikes;
Yet weight's no longer tragic.
My brain is freed to have more fun;
now size 8s fit like magic.
I'm trotting up the stairwell now,
My blood labs looking healthy...
No pills for you! --My doctor gasps,
You're looking Healthy-Wealthy!
But don't you miss those chips and beer?
→ The answer is a stunner:
My food is blander -- that is true --
But LIFE IS SO MUCH FUNNER.
💪😎
