Kale Guacamole RECIPE

shaymitchblog:

You must go down to go up. 

So, questions! I’ve recently transitioned from a non-vegan/non-vegetarian lifestyle to a mostly vegan one (I’ve been consuming seafood) due to health reasons. I have to say I’m a bit at a loss concerning what portions should be on my plate.

I used to eat a small portion of grain/pasta (1/2 or 1 cup), medium portion of protein, and larger portion of vegetables.

Recently I’ve been having mainly vegetables, small portion of protein, and small portion of grain/pasta. However I feel very tired throughout the day and I’m not sure if it’s the lack of something, or ‘detoxing’ from my previous diet.

Should I be consuming more grain or more protein? I keep reading to increase calories and maintain my blood sugar but I haven’t felt very hungry between meals lately.

Suggestions?

Any help would be appreciated! :D

P.s. I’m also allergic to wheat so I’ve been abstaining from bread for the past week as well.
