I thoroughly enjoyed reading
Eating in the Light, Making the Switch to Veganism on Your Spiritual Path by
Doreen Virtue and Becky Black, M.F.T., R.D.
There is a surprisingly large amount of information included in such a
small book of 148 pages. This book is a
good place to start if you are considering going Vegan. It covers the reasons a person should
consider being a Vegan and addresses some of the myths associated with it.
While this is not a recipe book, it does include guidelines, some food substitutions
for dairy and meat, and recommended vitamin and mineral supplements. The book also has food suggestions for
children, such as quick and portable snacks, meals and protein sources. There is a brief section on how various foods
have an effect on your chakras and spiritual well being. I was hoping that this
topic would have had more information, such as a list of high vibrational foods
or foods associated with each chakra, but that was not included in this book. It does however, give you a small list of GMO
foods to avoid, which is helpful, and does give you daily nutritional
suggestions. There is a list for how much fat and oils are recommended daily,
nuts, seeds and eggs, vegetables , meats breads and proteins. I also liked the
chart that listed protein equivelants to plant food. One warning though to the more sensitive
folks out there - the book does talk a little about conditions in
slaugherhouses and how some animals are treated. The book is a quick read that will point you
in the right direction without being preachy. FTC Disclosure: I received this book for free from Hay House Publishing for this review. The opinion in this review is unbiased and reflects by honest judgement of the product.
