Vegan Proteins The Vegan Reset will vary slightly from the Regular Reset Program. Different diets require a different set of goals, omissions and additions. Part of the 28 Day Reset is to begin balancing blood sugar to allow body fat to release while maintaining and/or gaining lean muscle, which revs metabolism and yields a healthier body both inside and out. For vegans, this likely means adding in more protein than you’re used to, and omitting staples such as pasta, bread, potatoes, and flours (those are the worst processed food offenders). One way to do this is to find the cleanest sources of vegan protein substitute foods possible, and use them to help you decrease the amount of carbs you might be eating, while kicking up your protein intake a few notches.  Trust us! Get in some muscle building protein—just for these 28 days—and see what happens!  Yes, broccoli and kale have lots of protein per gram, but the amount you’d have to eat would leave your tummy so full there wouldn’t be room for much else. This might mean trying out some meat-substitutes to get in that extra protein. Try gluten-free varieties, and go soy-free, if that’s best for you. Do not feel obligated to buy the brands we list; find the best ones for you! Also, please make sure to read your labels closely.  Not all products are created equally. If you’re trying to avoid soy and gluten, your options will be more limited. Soy is a known endocrine disruptor, and sometimes, can halt weight loss. If you’ve never gone without it, give it a shot. And if you haven’t been eating it, do not feel compelled to start now just because we offer a few recipes with soy. If you do not want to try any “meat alternatives” for fear they’re processed, just make sure you are subbing in a little extra quinoa, legumes, lentils, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, nutritional yeast, chia seeds, flax seeds and/or nuts. Just know your overall macronutrients per day will differ than those we calculated for weight-loss. Yours will be higher in carbs and fat. So just be very mindful of portions. (We have a list of whole-food options below, and links to some great products). Keep in mind that these meals were designed to rotate based on your likes and dislikes. You need not make them all; stick to the tried and true that work for you. Our Blogilates community is made up of a population of pure awesomeness.   We want to deliver the healthiest practices that meet the multiple needs, beliefs, health restrictions and goals of our tribe. That means offering meals that include soy for those who really want it, protein meat alternatives for those suffering from high and low blood sugar, unprocessed meals for those wishing to only eat whole foods, vegan protein powders for people who used to only eat carbs for breakfast, and as many gluten-free, soy-free vegan brands we can locate (there aren’t many, but we are hunting them down for you!). We are fully aware that we cannot make everyone happy, because nutrition isn’t a one-size-fits-all practice. But here’s what we do know: the root cause of most metabolic diseases, including diabetes and cancer, are related to blood sugar disorders. We also know that without balanced macronutrients, it is more difficult to perform advanced exercise routines, increase power and endurance, shed body fat and put on lean muscle. Our goal is to teach you how to do that over the next 28 days by providing balanced meal ideas so that you can take that knowledge and begin creating your own meals in the future with the foods you love, whatever those may be. We try very hard not to pick on anyone’s nutritional beliefs. Science is changing every single day, and as it does, we will be sharing best practices with you to keep you healthy. If something we suggest doesn’t align with your beliefs, there’s always a positive solution.

The Vegan Reset Goals Include: 28 Days of…. • • • • • • • • • • • •

No added sugar  No white/wheat flours No processed baked goods 80 ounces+ water per day No alcohol More protein, ideally 20 - 25 grams per meal. Measure all food, especially your carbs Eliminate soy/gluten or both for at least 1 week each Add in protein alternatives if possible Reduce carbs, or aim for under 40 g of carbs (or less) per meal If you’d like to go gluten and soy-free for 28 days, please select the recipes without gluten and soy, and replace with extra vegetables and moderate legumes and nuts BONUS CHALLENGE: No gluten, no soy, no sugar, no alcohol no processed food of any kind*

*Should you wish to take on an additional challenge of omitting ALL processed foods, feel free to substitute or add in lentils, quinoa, beans, nuts and seeds in place of the “meat” suggestions. Your carbs and fat will differ from our blood sugar stabilization plan, but if you’re OK with that, we fully support you and want to hear all about your awesome discipline! Just know your results may vary.

Please adjust your recipes as needed to get the exact flavor and consistency you desire. A little less or more liquid, powder, stevia or flour is A-OK! Recipes with protein powder may need slight adjustments. Be sure to pick flavors you love, as that’ll make the final product taste great. To make life easier, feel free to “meal prep” by doubling some of your favorite recipes to have later on. Recipes that yield 2 - 6 servings were designed to help you if you have a family, are entertaining, or if you need to pack food with you while on the go at school or work. It also saves money! However, please note that the nutrition information on each recipe is for one serving.
