A lot of times clients tell me they are considering becoming vegetarian or vegan to lead a healthier lifestyle. I often recommend they try various meals in the specific dietary pattern they are considering before making a sharp transition.
I have been doing pretty good with eating healthier. I have been working on trying new foods and you have been a big part of that. But I am struggling with giving up one of my favorite foods– bacon.
My approach has always been to be mindful, inclusive, and respectful of the impact culture has on what a person chooses to eat and how they choose to prepare it. I try not to assume that there is only one healthy way to prepare foods or that one cuisine is superior to another. I did not need to learn or be advised to be culturally competent. Though this came naturally to me, I am appreciative that more efforts are being made to expand cultural awareness in nutrition. To be honest, my insight into the need for reverence for cultural backgrounds comes from my experience as a Black American and the belittling of the food (soul food) I grew up eating.
I have been experiencing more cramping lately. It could be the slightest thing such as reaching to tie my shoes or buckle my seatbelt. Should I eat more bananas?
I am practicing vegetarianism. I have been vegetarian for a little over two years and I like the changes I have noticed in my health. At first, it was exciting. I was cooking new recipes and trying new dishes when I would go out. I am finding that I am missing textures from when I ate meat.
