Vegan on Protocol (Jenn)


Hi Brooke!
I’m a vegan and have started the no-sugar, no-flour protocol (also doing Intermittent Fasting with a 6-7 hour window so far). It’s going well so far, but I find that I am still consuming a lot of rice to fill out my meals, and I am eating a couple pieces of fruit per day (which I believe I recall your saying that you’d limit it to one piece per day). I eat loads of veggies, beans and nuts each day, too. I find myself thinking that this is so much harder as a vegan since I can’t get any of my fats from animal proteins, egg yolks, or dairy. I’m posting my model on these thoughts below, but I would also love any advice or resources you can direct me to that will help me to better round-out my nutrition on this protocol as a vegan. Thanks oodles!
