designing budget lunches. The budget he set himself was five quid for five days. One pound a day. That might seem ridiculous but, as he says himself, ‘I’m from Yorkshire and frugality runs through my veins.’ With a little creativity, confidence and the right attitude, eating on a budget is not only possible but actually, very satisfying. And it’s just as easy as a vegan!

      When we first went vegan we ate tons of pasta because it’s cheap and filling. We practised making loads of different pasta sauces, one of which, Easy Peasy Pasta, ended up in our first book and has now been made by folks all over the world!

      Also … thinking long-term, with all that healthy fibre and masses of coloured foods packed with health-giving nutrients, you’re likely to save money on healthcare (if you pay for it) and medication in later life too. Your body will be in much better shape. In fact, billions could be saved from the UK’s annual health bill if more people followed a plant-based diet.[85]

       ARM YOUR BULLSHIT DETECTOR …

       … and be prepared to take it everywhere you go.

      A plant-based diet, and the vegan movement in general, has had so much negative press that, when you start telling people you’re vegan, you will encounter judgement-disguised-as-advice. Some of it may even seem like useful information.

      We’ve all heard stories of people who avoid doctors. And we’ve all seen influencers on social media promoting the latest diet, health or fitness trend with no supervision. Never take health and nutrition advice from unqualified people! And don’t be afraid of doctors. Doctors are great. They are there to help you.

      Now, of course, doctors don’t always get things right. In fact, historically there has not been enough nutritional training given during their studies, although people like our friends Dr. Rupy Aujla of The Doctor’s Kitchen or Hazel Wallace of The Food Medic are working to change that! But in the past, and still in many GP surgeries, doctors may be overly cautious when it comes to vegan diets. However, doctors are trained in the art of medicine. Real medicine. They have an excellent understanding of your body and your health and they literally swear an oath to help you.

      So use them! If you have any questions about your health or your diet, then seek medical advice. You might even be able to find a plant-based or vegan doctor, who can give you even more targeted advice. Look after yourself. If you’re still in doubt, seek a second opinion. But a second medical opinion (not a mate’s).

      You may also seek advice from other professionals, such as dieticians or nutritionists. However, be aware that all are not created equal and always check the credentials of the people you choose. It’s possible to get a nutritionist’s certificate from the internet with little to no experience. Look for accredited, credible professionals with clear evidence of clients, real testimonials and papers published. Speak to them before you engage them, suss them out, and ask to speak to reference clients.

      Advice is just that, advice. Ask questions, listen to your gut, and keep learning.

       Vegan may not be the only way, but it’s a good way.

      There is no one optimum human diet. On the island of Okinawa in Japan, they eat a predominantly plant-based diet, but with a small amount of fish, and other meats.[86] The Okinawan diet is largely viewed as one of the healthiest ways to eat.

      A balanced vegan diet is not the only diet that will give you the best chances of living the longest. But it’s certainly up there with the best. And it’s easy.

      It’s easy because there’s a simple set of rules, which we’ll come to in the next part of the book. And by following them you will know that you are giving your body the best chance. It’s easier than calorie counting, meal tracking, macro crunching or meat restricting. Just one simple ‘no’ – the ‘no’ to consuming animal products – is all that’s required.

      Science tells us that a vegan diet can help us prevent or even reverse diseases, living longer, happier, healthier lives. And, most importantly, it’s also the best way we know to tackle climate change. Putting plants on your plate means you are doing the best thing to protect your body and save the planet.
