As tempting as it may be to promote veganism as a weight loss diet, don’t do it.

It’s not helpful and it’s actually harmful.

When you hear “ethical vegan,” what do you thi

When you hear “ethical vegan,” what do you think?

When I say “ethical vegan,” I mean vegan for ethical reasons (rather than health or weight loss reasons).

What I don’t mean is that living a vegan lifestyle is 100% “ethical,” because sadly that’s just not possible in the imperialist, capitalist, white supremacist society in which we live. Here’s the thing: This isn’t about perfection or moral superiority. It’s about harm reduction and moving toward an oppression-free world.

Let’s be real, personally boycotting the human use of animals doesn’t rid the world of all exploitation (to non-human or human animals), but it does make a difference.

We can do our personal best to tear down systems of oppression and divest from systems of exploitation.

Caring about non-human animals doesn’t mean you don’t care about humans too (although there are single-issue vegans that uphold white supremacy, which is horrible). It’s possible to fight multiple systems of oppression at once and I believe those of us with many privileges are extra responsible for doing so.

And let’s not forget that the animal exploitation industries also exploit humans, especially folks who are already marginalized.

To me, veganism = one part of being consistently anti-oppression.

Moral of the story: Just because you can’t fix everything doesn’t mean you should do nothing. Do what you can with the resources and abilities that you have. I promise it makes a difference and you’ll be inspiring others along the way! ❤️

I seriously wish I had this when I went vegan. Looking back, I was eating lots of meals that weren’t super balanced or satisfying, and I unfortunately bought into some of restrictive fear-mongering plant-based propaganda about food and nutrition.

⚠️Rather than watching “health” documentaries, reading books by celebrity doctors and content by social media stars promoting their it’s-not-a-diet-it’s-a-lifestyle diet and disease-curing promises, consider taking this course!

🤓It’s based on the latest vegan nutrition research and recommendations, along with my professional expertise as a registered dietitian and personal experience as a vegan of over a decade.

Wanna know some behind-the-scenes info about the Anti-Diet Vegan Nutrition Online Course? 👀

One of my favorite parts of the course creation process was beta testing! 🥰

The testimonial here is from one of my lovely beta testers ❤️

I was so lucky to have a wonderful group of folks volunteer to take an early version of the Anti-Diet Vegan Nutrition Course and give me lots of valuable feedback - aka my beta testers!

I then incorporated that feedback into revisions and improvements to the course. So while I’m the creator and instructor of this course, you’re also benefitting from the input of several new and plenty of seasoned vegans (including a couple other vegan dietitians)! So cool. 🤓

This was a critical step to boost the helpfulness and inclusivity of the course!

It was really humbling to have people from around the world participate in my focus groups and then become beta testers. 🥺 It goes to show just how needed anti-diet vegan content is! AND WE NEED EVEN MORE OF IT! 🔥

Your input is so valuable to me and I can’t wait to hear YOUR feedback after you take the course 😍

🚨Real talk: Diet mentality keeps you locked in

🚨Real talk: Diet mentality keeps you locked in a vicious and destructive cycle not only physically but also mentally. You swing from one extreme to the other, all the while feeling shame and fear about food and your body. 😔

AND it’s distracting AF. Diet culture convinces us that we have to micromanage our food, fixate on our bodies and obsess about our weight. 👀

😡 All this does is steal our precious energy and attention that we could be spending on genuine self-care and causes that align with our values.

Diet culture is based on the white supremacist cisheteropatriarcy and is a tool of oppression that we must burn down 🔥 (If you want to learn more about this, I recommend starting with reading Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia by Sabrina Strings and The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women by Naomi Wolf).

If you’re seeing this post that means there’s a good chance you’re passionate about justice 👊🏻 Which is super rad! I encourage you think about how much time you spend worrying about your weight, appearance and/or food. How would you rather spend that time? 🤔

(Note: I understand some folks worry about food due to food insecurity and/or food apartheid, which is a separate massive issue. I’m specifically talking about diet mentality thoughts in this post.)

✨For vegans and vegan-curious folks who want to get straightforward information on nutrition so you can feel confident about food, worry less about nutrition, and focus more on tearing down systems of oppression, the Anti-Diet Vegan Nutrition Course is for you!

🍽 The course also teaches strategies for planning and preparing meals and snacks that are not only nutritious, but also yummy and satisfying. 😋 As well as my expertise on what and how much of certain dietary supplements vegans should take. 💊 Plus so much more!

🤍Let’s talk TOFU!! 🤍

🤍Tofu is a protein-rich food made from soybeans. It’s been used for many years in Asian food cultures, and is said to have originated in China about 2000 years ago!

🤍It’s super nutritious, affordable and super versatile! While you don’t have to be vegan to enjoy tofu, I think tofu is an excellent staple food for folks who are vegan.

🤍Not only is it rich in protein, it’s also rich in the amino acid lysine. Lysine is an essential amino acid found in legumes (beans, peas, lentils, peanuts) that is lacking is most other plant foods.

📷 here is one of my fave meals: BBQ tofu with mac & cheese and collards. 😋

🤍Unfortunately there’s a lot of misinformation and fear-mongering about soy. So let’s clear up any confusion:

-Unless you have a soy allergy, soy is completely safe to eat!
-Research shows that lifelong consumption of soy, especially in childhood, is associated with decreased breast cancer risk.
-The American Cancer Society says soy foods are healthy and safe.
-Eating several servings of soy per day does NOT cause “feminizing effects” in men.
-Rainforest destruction for soy farming is primarily (80%!) for soy fed to animals used for food (aka the animal agriculture industry). Your tofu intake isn’t driving Amazon deforestation.

🤍What questions do you have, if any, about soy?
