I use "Beefy" flavored mushrooms (Bella), I also use the Minimally processed Soy Granuals ( like Soy Curls - only made smaller to mimic Hamburger), Also potatoes - chopped into small cubes - can be used to flesh out your "meat" for your tacos, pizza or Soy "hamburger" needs. ***We don't eat the Soy Granuals every day... but for the treat of once a week or so for Taco night hits the spot!***

I just finished a pack of impossible burgers and my hunger level spiked!!! I’ll never buy plant based meat again! I got to get my body back on track and it was only two days of eating them! Smh! I still lost weight though lol

@dreamscomingtrue6424 Год назад

I recently started eating more vegan. Instead of hot wings, I got cauliflower and the hot wing sauce and omg it was so good. Helps with my depression.

🌼 I'm new to your channel, found this video, so glad I did. This validates the intuitive nudges I was having about eating non meat, plant based meat alternatives. I was never a big meat eater when I did eat meat, but ate plant based meat occasionally when having a craving and for a protein alternative, but these days...hardly at all. The taste and texture of them started to get strange and off for me. So something in me was telling me no, this has to go! Now I am considering eating plant based meat very occasionally or not at all. Good thing I have my own bean and lentil burgers when having the taste for a meaty protein. I also include nuts, beans, quinoa, and oatmeal as protein sources. Was vegetarian. Now vegan. Plants, plants, plants, just eating plants, and loving it! You are an inspiration to continue on with my plant based diet. To find other vegans to inspire and to help along the journey is so helpful. Thank You. 😊 🌿🥦🥑🥥🍇🫐 🍋🍄🥕🌽🍅🥜🥒🍠🌿

Wow God is so good. I found your video immediately after coming off this Daniel fast. I am slowly but surely eliminating meat from my lifestyle but have been in a habit of buying the "plant based meats." I am experimenting with Pinterest learning how to cook with sweet potato, chick peas and nuts and seeds. Its not easy but its so fun learning because I wanna be healthy. Thank you for this video. Hope everyone benefits from this information 🌿🪴🥗🥗

@gregorymcmahan3914 Год назад

Good work, Melissa! I was worried there for a quick minute with your pros, but you recovered nicely with your cons. Still, you forgot to add in your cons the single biggest problem with faux meat (beyond the nutritional issues) and that is their cost out of pocket to the consumer at the register. Pound for pound as compared to real meat, fake meat costs more. Also, you do not get around the pesticides problem and the toxic chemicals problem by buying them. In the fake meat space, 'organic' is not necessarily what you think, and when you cook these fake meats, chemical transformations occur that lead to toxin production (think carcinogens and whatnot). Whole-food, plant-based (or minimally processed) is the best way to go if these things concern you. Once again, good job, Melissa! You go, girl!

I prefer whole clean foods, but, I do use Abbot’s Butchers Chorizo. It has simple clean ingredients, I use fave bean and pumpkin seed tofu in addition to mushrooms to give me texture.

I am new to the journey I like Whole Foods best. However in Mpls where I live I found a vegan butcher (the Herbivorous Butcher). I know what they put in their faux meat it (mostly seitan and jackfruit). It’s “freshly made” and it is a treat rather than an everyday experience (because I have to go out of my way to get it).

@nubi688 Год назад

Great video!!! Which plant-based meat would you recommend as healthy if you are going to eat it once a month?

@ChoosingMyHealth Год назад

Thank you Nubi! Great question. I don’t have a particular brand to recommend, but I’d say to choose the best you can find based on the cleanest ingredients (most times these ingredients are recognizable). I find that less ingredients on the list is a good sign. Look out for allergens, and take note of sodium content.

@mymustardseedfaith Год назад

Lissen! Idk if you’ve named this character of yours that I’ve peeped in several vids now but imma need a name, sis😂 she’s givin “where in the world is Carmen San Diego (I’m not that old😆) 👏🏾 I would love to know some of your fave plant based meats that you would approve of-you know…to quickly cook when in a pinch. Gonna try the pecan meat soon-🎉THANK you for sharin your journey I’m learnin A LOT!💜

@ChoosingMyHealth Год назад

I remember Carmen San Diego! Lol! Sis, I don’t have any off the top of my head, but when you consider one, pay attention to sodium levels, questionable ingredients, any allergens, and try to stick to ingredients that are truly plant-based ❤️

@kellypreston9366 Год назад

Question: I'm starting to make my own faux meats from the 'Sauce Stache" guy and he uses methylcellulose any thoughts on using it in this fashion causing health issues?

@ChoosingMyHealth Год назад

Hey Kelly! How rewarding to make your own faux meat 🤗 So methlycellulose is a very processed ingredient. Perhaps do some more research about the ingredient to decide whether you feel entirely comfortable with it. If not, explore other less processed ingredients that can replace it for your recipes 🙏🏽

It sounds like plant base meats still have all of the risks that we are trying to avoid. Time to find another way, as soon as I finish what’s in my fridge. I wouldn’t recommend tofu, or anything soy. There are a lot of dangers that come with soy, increased estrogen levels in men, and breast cancer risks.
