I have a number of health issues and I was told by my doctors that they might be mitigated by switching to a Vegan diet. I thought that I was eating healthy before, I truly did. I only eat dairy once or twice a week and meat once a week or less. I only eat ultra processed foods once every couple of months.
I tried to switch to a vegan diet. But after two months, I experienced ravaging insatiable hunger. All the vegan recipes I have tried so far tasted like mud, bleakness, and despair. It seems that my body craves fat, salt, and sugar. I truly want to do better but, so far, I can't stand a vegan diet. It gives me gas, nausea, ravenous hunger, and acute depression. If you can, please suggest some vegan recipes that actually taste good.
If you can do this, Thank You So Very Much!!!!
If you were eating meat only once a week and dairy twice a week,
then most of your meals would've already been vegan.
So I eat meat. I am an omnivore and I think your generalization was a little unfair. I know a good many meat-eaters who like me appreciate a wide range of real foods and whose diets absolutely do not "mostly consist of protein and starch."
It probably was, but the post to which I was responding was a blanket falsehood. Like I said “most”, at least here in North America, do not have a well-rounded diet, having seen what people eat everyday when I work. Most skip the vegetable on their plate and eat the meat, starch and dessert. Of course that doesn’t apply to everyone, but the reason we have so many diabetics and people getting ultra-sick from viruses many other people fight off naturally is the lack of fiber and abundance of fat and simple carbs in their diets.
Here's another one I enjoyed a lot - this Corn Okra Creole. You can use frozen corn but get some high quality. In place of Creole seasoning, I used my favorite Cajun seasoning, from Frontier Co-Op - if you read the ingredients, you'll see that there are a lot of flavor notes and cayenne pepper is the least of those. Cheap Cajun seasoning has fewer flavors and they just lean heavily on the heat instead of complexity - not good.
Real food is my standard. No nasty oil, no excess salt or sugar. If vegan, vegetarian or has meat its all good IMHO.
I know, right? I’m neither vegan or vegetarian or paleo or anything, but if I go to a restaurant that makes flavorful vegan dishes, I’m eager to try them. I go to a restaurant once in awhile that makes a delicious black bean burger and I always order it.
Love the suggestions Outdoor Lover and will definitely try some of the recipes. Terrific pictures too. CD won't let me rep you again, but thank you so much for taking the time to post this.
I love the Jamie Oliver vegan Chinese Noodles recipe with rice noodles, mixed mushrooms, eggplant and tossed with a slightly spicey herb mix and topped with raw spinach that wilts in as it gets mixed in and eaten. It's filling, very nutritious and calorie/low fat friendly too.

That corn/okra dish looks great... and when you throw okra in as one of many ingredients, its "sliminess" disappears.
