Kind Diet Sample Recipes: Alicia's Toasted Nori Burritos 1 umeboshi plum 1 cup cooked brown rice (leftover is great) 2 sheets toasted nori 2 romaine lettuce leaves 1 avocado, sliced 1 apple, sliced 4 fresh basil leaves Leaves from 6 cilantro sprigs Leftover cooked kale or salad greens Tear the umeboshi plum into little pieces and discard the pit. Place half the rice on each sheet of nori and top with the remaining ingredients. Roll the nori into a cone shape around the filling; if it’s rolled tightly, you can seal the edges by wetting your finger to dampen the edges of the nori. Note: Serve a half sheet of nori at dinner to use as a wrapper for any leftovers or food that might need refreshing. Nori makes everything taste great!

If you have never tried vegan before, the diet includes help and advice along with cooking ideas and recipes. Cost: Your grocery bill may go up since your focus will be on organic and fresh. Gluten Free? Some gluten free recipes are included. FYI: I believe most experts feel that vegan diets are considered to be lacking in certain nutrients, especially iron, vitamin B12, and folate, so a supplement is a good idea.

Conclusion: The Kind Diet is a healthy vegan diet which will help you to lose weight along with many other benefits, including adding years to your life. I give the Kind Diet two thumbs up, but I do not recommend it for most people.  Unless you are vegan minded, any diet that means giving up complete food groups is difficult for most people. On the other hand, if you have been considering vegan, this diet may help you to make the transition. You might also be interested in looking at the flexitarian diet, a flexible vegan diet. Thank you for reading, my friends. I wish you success on your weight loss journey. Kind regards, George Pierce Founder Win At Losing Weight  Advertisement:  |
