My Simplified Diet

After 29 years as a vegan, I've honed my diet to what works best for me. In this video I'm sharing a day in my culinary life.

You'll see:

* The simple, nutritious meals I've come to rely on
* How I maintain my weight and blood pressure at 68
* My go-to low-sodium flavor boosters
* A few tricks I've picked up along the way

This isn't a "one-size-fits-all" guide, but rather a glimpse into how I've personalized my long-term, low-fat vegan lifestyle.

Potatoes, rice, pasta, oats, beans, fruit, veg. Same.
Not boring. So many ways to make these.

[HappyTater]

Awesome, my diet has gone a similarly boring route. Baked potatoes, steamed frozen veg, hummus, fruit, oats.

Nothing wrong with "boring" ! 💪❤

[mikrobspen]

Cooked vegetables can be boring before you add sauces & spices....but after you add them they are great.

A more positive word is “simple”. A life of simplicity is beautiful. ❤

I'm about a decade behind you on the vegan front, nearly 20 years! And I also find my meals getting more and more "boring" but yet they're so satisfying! I don't need fancy!
Love that you shared how even as a long term vegan your blood pressure was going up, good reminder for us not to get slack with our diet

you are looking great jeff. 68? Good shape. Most men at 68 can not sprint due to stuffed knees. I am looking fwd to following your calisthenics journey.

Thanks for this. The light is going on slowly that simplicity is the key for consistency & keeping biomarkers where they need to be.

I love “boring” meals as well. Rice, fruit, and veggies! ❤ Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Jeff for sharing your routine. Very helpful and informative

[EuroKitty]

thank you for sharing - it was helpful to see someone eating simply. I am tired of the chore of thinking up recipes or following any so this was very welcome to watch!!

Mix it up a little by adding a Chinese vegetable inspired dish, with tofu, bitter melon, snake beans, pineapple - and cloves/garlic/Chinese five-spice etc.

KISS is the way to go in most things in life, I learned years ago.

[RJT]

This was awesome, Jeff. Thank you for sharing.

l am boring also lol. every morning l have oats and fruit and date paste.
lunch is always a salad with rice beans veggies carrot lettuce silver beet and a sliced apple or orange and l make a dressing with tomato sauce vinegar lemon juice and water . dinner l mix up a bit stir fry stew or soup.
l also weigh myself each morning for data to see if l need to eat more or less. l am not on any meds . l am 67yrs and l exercise daily at home with dumbbells and l do pull ups and push ups. thanks for the video. it's good to see how healthy people eat.
the thing is l never get bored with eating the same thing each day.

[dancingonhands]

Oh boy … this was a wonderful bright spot in my day. Thank you so much, Jeff!!🙏🏻💗

[SuperDodoe]

Excellent love that your resistance training

[brettbudward]

The sauces you use seem very high in sugars, albeit natural sugars. Do you feel like you’re spiking at all after adding the sauces?

[brendagaines]

Thank you, Jeff that is very encouraging and helpful.
