Making major changes to your diet can seem daunting. Many people are often concerned that they will not be able to eat their favourite foods or cook the meals and recipes they love. However, it can be easier than you think.

This is an understandable concern and one that you can address by gradually substituting certain foods for others. Here are some suggestions:

Potatoes = sweet potato

mashed, baked or fried, use sweet potato instead. White fleshed ones are less sweet than orange. Other root vegetables like swede and parsnip are also good, as is pumpkin or butternut squash.

RICE = cauliflower rice

Grate cauliflower florets or pop them in a blender then whizz until you have rice-size grains. Steam lightly or try the Cauliflower rice recipe here

PASTA = vegetables

Use a spiralizer or peeler to create green spaghetti (recipe here) or cut pumpkin/courgettes into flat slices for lasagna.

Milk = coconut or almond, rice or oat

There are an abundance of alternative milks like almond, cashew, hazelnut and coconut, rice and oat. For recipes that use milk or cream in sauces, choose one you think is most appropriate.

Cheeses = goat or sheep

The milks and cheeses produced using cows milk contain different proteins to those in goat and sheep milk, both of which are closer to human milk. Some vegan cheeses are made with nuts and don’t have overly processed ingredients.

Legumes...

all legumes contain phytic acid, which absorbs and removes minerals from your system. The best way to eat them is to soak, rinse and sprout them so they can then be safely eaten raw.
