So what do I mean by 96% vegan? Here's my calculation: 3 meals a day x 7 days a week is 21 meals a week. Let's say each meal has 4 evenly divided 'Sections'. That equals 84 sections a week.
Since I consider myself a 96% vegan, this then means that I can make 3 sections (84 x 4%) a week meat/dairy/eggs. In other words 3 meals a week I can have 1/4 of my meal include meat and/or dairy, the other 3/4 must be wholesome plant-based.
Examples:
1) A large salad with a few slices of roasted chicken on it and brown rice
OR
2) Have a huge spinach salad with a sprinkle of blue cheese on top and a slice of whole grain bread.
OR
3) After a nice wholesome vegan meal, take a couple bites of your husband's chocolate dessert!
I think this new rule will make it very easy for me without feeling any guilt. It does not mean having a meal consisting of bacon, 3 fried eggs, buttered bread, and a glass of milk. Sorry John! (My husband loves a hearty meat and dairy breakfast!)
