What do you mean by Vegan?

Veganism is a term meaning ‘non-dairy vegetarianism’. The term ‘vegan’ was first used in England in the year 1944, by Donald Watson, who is also the co-founder of the Vegan Society.

The society was founded on 1st November which is now celebrated as Vegan Day. People following Veganism follow a strict vegetarian diet and refrain from the consumption of all dairy products as well as eggs.

In other words, veganism is ‘the doctrine that man should live without exploiting animals’. Vegans, in addition, do not use any animal products or by-products, be it honey, wool, leather, fur, silk or soaps and cosmetics manufactured using animal products.

What is Vegan Cheese?

Vegan Cheese is basically a non-dairy cheese. It is made from plant foods. This kind of cheese does not include rennet which is an extract from the stomach of animals, used in making cheese.

MMA Ultimate Fighter – James “Lighting” Wilks – Is Vegan (VIDEO)

he”s one heck of a competitor! He went vegan, and got stronger and says it made him stronger and gave him more endurance.

He is James “Lightning” Wilks, an MMA fighter best known to many for winning The Ultimate Fighter TV challenge, US vs. UK.

James holds a Black belt in Tae Kwon Do and a Brown belt in Brazilian Jui Jitsu.

James was at our Healthy Lifestyle Expo 2012, and I asked him what he does to stay in such great shape.

In the video, James explains how he came to the decision to go 100% plant-based, and what it did to his athletic performance.

This is part of the Healthy Lifestyle Expo 2012 weekend Expo — you can get the full weekend of presentations (14 hours of talks) available on DVD, see:

Chaka Kahn goes vegan to cure Type 2 Diabetes and High Blood Pressure (it worked)

Legendary singer Chaka Kahn has been turning heads lately after dropping 60 pounds.

Her secret? In a recent interview she says she “went off meat, became vegan, stopped all the dairy, stopped all the meat.”

Diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes and high blood pressure, Kahn was put on medication last year which she had to take — until she decided to change her diet. She recently adopted her granddaughter and realized she had to be here for the girl, and said this was her main influence to lose weight and get healthy — “so I can be here for her.”

Kahn undertook a liquid diet for four months — “My Vitamix was my best friend” — eating green smoothies and protein smoothies. Then she went vegan.

Today, 60 pounds lighter, she is off all medication and no longer has high blood pressure of Type-2 Diabetes.

No great surprise here. More and more people are discovering you can reverse serious disease and heal yourself by going low-fat plant-based.

You could use zucchini or yam noodles in this, to keep it raw and plant-based.

And almond milk instead of soy milk

Ground almonds instead of breadcrumbs.

No need to cook – just mix together.

M – I can see putting that sauce and the curry just over fresh veggies though or brown rice.

Vegan Enchiladas

http://kriscarr.com/recipe/vegan-enchiladas/

http://kriscarr.com/recipe/vegan-enchiladas/

by Marlena Torres, C.N.

-3 Ezekiel brand sprouted corn tortillas – or do it raw with lettuce leaves as the tortilla, raw yam, blended, and coconut aminos, instead of soy saucen-D

Oh I would just use zucchini and mushroom but her vegan cheese sauce looked doable.  – M

Enchilada Filling
-1 regular sized sweet potato, baked (this comes to about 1 cup mashed sweet potato)
-1 tablespoon shoyu or tamari
-1 teaspoon cumin
-1 teaspoon coriander

Cheesy Bell Pepper Sauce

-1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
-Half a cup of nutritional yeast
-The juice of half a lemon
-1 small clove garlic
-A tiny pinch of cayenne (optional)

Make the filling: Remove the peel from the baked sweet potato and then mash up the potato with a fork. Mix the baked sweet potato and spice and shoyu.

Make the cheesy bell pepper sauce: Blend all ingredients together until smooth.

Dip the tortillas in boiling water with tongs just for a quick second. This will make the tortillas pliable.

Fill the tortilla with sweet potato mixture, and fold the tortillas together. Place them seam side down on a plate.

Line the enchiladas up, side by side, and then pour the Cheesy Bell Pepper Sauce on top.

Garnish with diced avocado, if you’d like, and enjoy!
