Hey everyone! I am Filippia from Iceland, 29 years old and vegan for 5 years. I love health and fitness and I’ve been lifting weights since I was around 15 years old. I have done crossfit, strongman and powerlifting, but after a knee injury in 2023 I am still trying to find my way back to training. Lately I’ve been working on my mental side, I discovered I really like yoga, meditation and mindfulness🧘🏽‍♀️ I’m also a foodie and I absolutely LOVE trying new vegan recipes, especially turning something I used to eat into a vegan version😋 I’m so excited to be a part of this group and hopefully getting to know some new like-minded people🙏🏽🐷🐮🌱

My resolution for next year is to try to be a more active vegan activist. I’m quite shy, but @John Thomas Vegan Squad Coach convinced me in his live streams to do small steps. Of course I’m not gonna wait until 1st Jan, so I ordered today my first set of stickers. I’m gonna put some of them sneakily on meat products in my local store and other places. I’ll also join some local groups to make vegan friends 😁. What are your resolutions for next year? 😎

We hear a lot about fibre at the moment- and I love it as a medical doctor. But more often than not , it can be hard to imagine how that actually looks like in real life, don't you agree? So here it comes: How to meet your fibre goal! Breakfast Steel-cut oats with berries and seeds - 1 cup cooked steel-cut oats - 1 cup blueberries or mixed berries - 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed - 1 tablespoon chia seeds Fiber: ~15 grams Why it works: - Oats provide beta-glucan (soluble fiber) - Seeds add viscosity and gut-supporting fats - Berries add polyphenols that feed beneficial bacteria Lunch Lentil and vegetable soup - 1.5 cups cooked lentils - Carrots, onions, celery, garlic - Kale or spinach Fiber: ~16–18 grams Why it works: - Lentils are one of the most fiber-dense foods - Legumes are consistently linked to longevity Snack Apple with a handful of walnuts Fiber: ~6–7 grams Why it works: - Apples contain pectin (soluble fiber) - Nuts add satiety without spiking blood sugar Dinner Grain bowl - 1 cup cooked quinoa, barley or brown rice - Roasted broccoli and Brussels sprouts - Chickpeas - Tahini-lemon dressing with black cumin and garlic Fiber: ~12–15 grams Total: ~50 grams Transitioning to Higher Fiber Safely: If you are currently eating a low-fiber diet: - Increase fiber gradually - Drink adequate water - Chew thoroughly - Prioritize intact grains and whole legumes Temporary bloating is often a sign that your microbiome is adapting. <3 All the best and see you on Wednesdays, Doc Sophie
