I try to eat vegan, although it is more like limited to no processed food or foods with added sugar. Which is almost everything not in the produce section, haha. My body is very sensitive to things, and after eating something processed or restaurant/fast food I feel sleepy, brain foggy, and can get a headache. Wondering if I may have a sensitivity to some oils, too, because I feel crappy after eating potato chips which only ingredients are potatoes, salt, and oil. After eating clean, I've also stopped taking my daily asthma maintenance medication and have had no asthma symptoms since cleaning up my diet. Sometimes if my diet has been crappy for a week or two, there may be a little wheezing that starts, so I truly believe something in the food affects my asthma symptoms. Wonder if cutting out the dairy was the main thing that helped my asthma.
I try to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, cooked veggies, rice, pasta, beans, nuts, and tofu. I do eat flour tortilla wraps, despite the wraps being processed. Sometimes I do buy parmesean cheese to have with my pasta.
My body feels a lot better, my head clearer, and my emotions much more stable when processed and sugar added foods are eliminated from my diet. This has been my motivation to continue.

Not sure if you've tried this, but my favorite way to cook tofu is buying the extra firm, cutting the brick into 5 slices, and putting olive oil in a cooking pan on higher heat and cooking until there is some coler on both sides. I cut the pieces in half and put in a flour tortilla with Primal Kitchens Chipotle Lime Mayo. Heating the flour tortillas with olive oil in the pan adds extra flavor and texture, but sometimes I just heat them in the microwave. The mayo is soooooo tasty and flavorful! There is NO added sugar like regular mayonnaise, and also is very limited in easy to read ingredients (Avocado Oil, Organic Eggs, Organic Egg Yolks, Organic Vinegar, Water, Sea Salt, Organic Lime Juice Concentrate, Chipotle Powder, Lime Granules, Organic Garlic Powder, Organic Rosemary Extract). It is a bit pricey, but very worth it for me because basically all other sauces have added sugar, and it tastes so good. My local Food Lion just had them on sale for $7, so I stocked up, haha. Highly recommend. Makes veggie wraps taste great, too!Any other tofu recipes you could recommend?
