In reply to Jean Haywood. We have a free vegan meal plan on the website and loads of vegan recipes. We also have recipes that include dairy and eggs. I know the dairy and egg industry are unacceptable, at the same time it is significantly more difficult to meet nutrition requirements just on a vegan diet. Sure, it's possible, but you have to supplement. That's not for everyone. Personally, I'm ok to consume eggs and dairy, mostly organically produced. It's a trade-off, but one I prefer to veganism + heavier supplementation.

What, no vegan recipes?
I have been a vegan,,in all senses of the word, for 22 years and tired of companies who deal with the food industry, like yours, will.Not commit to providing vegan menus.
The Vegan Society was formed in 1945. Time enough to realise it is NOT a fab. So wake, please. We are here‼️‼️‼️‍♀️‍♀️

In reply to Elizabeth. Hi Elizabeth. No, I wouldn't compare this with the Keto diet. Keto by nature restricts carbohydrates, which we don't do. We include healthy carbohydrates in our plans, such as wholegrain rice, pasta and quinoa. You can find some more info about this below, including why we do that: How we create our recipes How we create our meal plans With regard to protein levels, there's no issue here unless you have a specific reason or diagnosis that means you should be careful, such as Chronic Kidney Disease. If not, the level we suggest is completely safe, and within the limits suggested by current research Hope that helps!

Is this diet comparable to the Keto diet and are there any potential side effects with the amount of protein consumed? I am already vegetarian (ovo/lacto/pescatarian) and recognize the need to increase my protein levels.

In reply to Rodney Hyams.

Hi Rodney! Great to read from you and what an inspiration! 167 marathons is incredible . I’m glad to hear the veggie lifestyle is also meshing well with staying fit and healthy.

Yes, we tend to stay away from overly processed foods indeed (though we definitely like tinned and frozen goods, they’re just so convenient and have many plus points). I hope you enjoy our recipes. Absolutely, many of them are suitable for freezing, that’s important to us.

Thanks again for writing and feel free to leave any questions or comments on a recipe!

Hello, I am a vegetarian aged 80 my weight is near 160 pounds (height 6ft ) and am not looking to lose weight as keep fit running Marathons( 26.2 miles) – my 167th most recently yesterday + also do yoga and gym exercises.

My weight is pretty constant, and I do regularly have fruit , veg and nuts + tofu products and rice and various beans –
Am looking for easily prepared ‘ Natural ‘ meals – to a large degree unprocessed to continue to maintain my good health naturally ( have started recently to cut down on processed foods , because of recent adverse publicity about their additives potentially causing health problems – your website seems appropriate for these aims – look forward to trying some of your recipes (can hopefully freeze some for use later ? ).
