KEY PRINCIPLES OF A HIGH CARB LOW FAT VEGAN LIFESTYLE (HCLFV) THAT I PERSONALLY FOLLOW
This is a completely plant based lifestyle meaning no animal products.
Start your first two meals of the day with raw fruits and vegetables.
Food combining - The main objective is to eat faster digesting foods before slower digesting foods.
Always eat enough. No restrictions with calories.
Hydration is important! First thing in the morning and 30 minutes to 1 hour before each meal drink a tall glass of water.
Learn to cook without salt. You will achieve maximum health and leanness
Learn to cook without oil. You will learn the benefits of eliminating oil from your diet.
Processed vegan junk food is fun but does not benefit you healthwise
Eat wonderful food staples are ( ripe) bananas. mangoes and dates (bliss balls, rawnola).
