Don't want to put on those holiday pounds? Eat like a vegan!

You can't miss it - fattening food is everywhere!  Candy, pumpkin pie, pumpkin lattes, candy apples.  It's clear that the season of eating has begun!  Yes it's difficult to resist all the holiday food in the office, at your child's school or at the grocery store.  Most people are tempted, and so many of us give in.  And the pounds start packing on and continue through the holidays until we all feel guilty in January.


You always say it's going to be different this year, right?  Well how about nipping it in the bud before it begins?  What if, this year, you decide to go through the holidays by eating like a vegan?


You can still enjoy many of the foods that you've always loved but you'll learn to make them healthier.  And you can still eat Halloween candy (you'll be surprised that many of your favorites are vegan), but you won't gorge yourself on it.  And you can have that pumpkin latte - just have it with soy/coconut/almond milk and skip the whipped cream.  And if you check out vegweb.com or Veg News' website, you can try new holiday recipes that you can feel good about eating, that taste delicious, and your friends will love.  And then, of course, there's the halo effect of reducing animal suffering and causing less harm to the environment.  Festive reasons to celebrate indeed!
