Diet Advice For Teen Vegans!

If you have a teen or are a teen who plans on going “vegan” for the new year, (2022),
remember to proceed with caution and follow a few rules.

Eating this way can prevent and reverse serious conditions like heart disease, diabetes,
some cancers, hypertension and arthritis.

Eating a high carb, oil-free, plant-based diet can bring happiness and effortless weight loss.

And if you’re wondering why no oil, here’s why.
If slimming down is your goal, a tilt of the olive oil or coconut oil bottle can easily add
500 calories to any meal.
(Use vegetables broth, water, fruit juice, bananas or applesauce in place of oil, eggs and
butter).

So, if you’re ready to embark on this new journey and need a recipe or two to get you started,
here are two, one for a tasty potato chowder, (especially helpful during the cold months)
and a taco recipe for teens who love fast food, (but only healthier).
