“I want to go vegan but I don’t want to lose my butt!”

I know that is what you are thinking. OK well that’s what I was thinking hence the entire reason for starting this blog. (You can read my body transformation here.) Vegan weight gain is more than possible and in this article I will show you how. Now let’s answer this question…why do women want a curvy figure? A desire to have more curves isn’t just about vanity, it is also science.  Most women desire a curvy figure because it signifies youth, good health, and fertility. A curvy body states that you are properly nourished and are capable of nourishing another life.

So how do you make vegan weight gain possible? How do you build curves while on a meat less diet? On a very basic level you consume more calories than you burn. Specifically below, I go into what weight is, how to avoid unhealthy weight gain, and specific steps on building curves while on a vegan diet. These are tips I have learned over the years through my own trial and error.

Green Beans with Almonds and Cranberries

by 10 Comments

Editor’s Note: This recipe has been updated. Old pictures of original post are below. 

A green bean recipe is not a fancy one, but when I think of green beans I think of two things; Thanksgiving and mindfulness. Now I personally celebrate Thanksgiving during the Fall Equinox (Late September early October) we call it Mabon in honor of the great mother’s seasonal cycles. But growing up like everyone we celebrated it around November.
