phone book diet


 
 
This page is dedicated to all people who believe that eating foods with zero animal based products is impossible or extreme
due to the LACK of FOOD VARIETY available in cooking options
When I went ovo lacto vegetarian 5 years ago and subsequently vegan 3 years ago, having an Eastern European background, I too have initially "panicked" somewhat that were it not for my COMPASSION based decision to give up animal foods, my life in the kitchen was going to become a source of stress and struggle, WITHOUT THAT MEAT centerpiece or the cheese, the eggs and fish...
little did I know then, how LIMITING in fact WERE the meat, dairy, eggs and fish to the opportunity of discovering and astonishing NEW world of flavor, health and wonder in such enormous variety that was going to forever alter my FOODS perception...

and that is how FOODS or BEINGS concept and realization has been born within...
due to my undying love, awe and admiration for the sentient BEings known as animals, I could've and would've live my entire life on potatoes, rice, beans and vegetables alone, with ease...plus fruits...
but it was really amazing to discover HOW MUCH MORE is OUTthere that we had absolutely no clue about...
and this is how the PHONE BOOK Diet concept and realization was born within
and which I am humbly sharing with the world...
it all starts with 10 digits

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
our entire world's phone number BOOKS are filled with HUNDREDS upon HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of DIFFERENT PHONE NUMBERS COMBINATIONS which contain ONLY 10 digits
endLESS options with only 10 digits
taking this very basic yet mind-bending concept and transitioning it INTO our FOOD world, well then we have SOMETHING UNbelievable in our hands...
and just HOW MANY TYPES of FOODS we can create and recreate by using many thousands of DIFFERENT kind/type of FOODS?
Not BEings..FOODS...
let's ISOLATE the ONION and GARLIC alone and add to EACH of the 2, ANY of the below TENS of thousands of different varieties...a bit of oil and salt/spices and HERE YOU HAVE an actual MEAL...
of ALL these many thousands of FOODS, ONION and GARLIC are UNIVERSAL, for without which no national or international famous food would be possible

then we have the cooking herbs and spices to go along, besides the MANY THOUSANDS of FOODS listed below...
Who KNEW such food variety is possible and available, with no being killed, healthy for the planet and for our body, mind and soul...

choose ANY number (10 different TYPES OR MORE) of foods from the below list and use your imagination
add TO IT, the HUNDREDS of already available MEAT, DAIRY, EGGS AND FISH ALTERNATIVE, plant based protein REPLACEMENTS available on the explosive plant based food market, sweeping the world by storm...links below...
also, google ANY of your FAVORITE  national/international/traditional/comfort food with the world VEGAN attached to it...either before or after the food's name, depending on your own native language and discover the MANY vegan versions of each one of them, already widely available...
VEGAN Sheppard Pie, pizza, burgers, italian/swedish meatballs, cabbage rolls, souvlaki,  meatloaf, italian sausage, ice cream, tiramisu, funnel cake, french toast, NUT cheese, cheesecake, whipped cream, nut milks, vegan butter and cream, pancakes, etc, etc, etc...try it with your fav food...
as well as google IMAGES ANY KNOWN vegetable, legume, grain, fruit, nuts, seeds with the world HEIRLOOM before it and see the incredible UNknown VARIETY of any vegetable or fruit you thought you know...

Welcome to a whole new world of FOOD WONDER... 

Bon apetit!
