Eat as many clean carbs as you want, make sure you're taking in at least 10-15 'portions' of vegetables a day and tell me you don't feel much better!
What veg are you having?
I do have some veg steam bags in my freezer (from my last veg obsession) but I always find it lacking in the satiety department. Maybe I wasn't having enough...
Whatever I can get my hands on. I make a lot of vegetarian hot pot dishes like bolognese, curry, chilli etc and I just chop/blend as appropriate whatever's fresh in the supermarket (within reason!) to create a ragu + chopped veg.
Really basic example:
Dice onion, celery, carrot, pepper
Blend mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach
Pick florets of broccoli, cauliflower
Fry onion, add carrot, then celery
Add whatever herbs/spices you're going for
Evaporate something vinegar-based
Add your blended mushroom/tomatoes/spinach mix and bring heat down to simmer
Throw in pepper, broccoli, cauliflower and cook to taste
You can then have it with whatever you want. Rice, pasta, roast potatoes, wedges, chips etc.
Benefit is it's really suitable for big batch cooking, so you can easily put together 8-10 portions if you've got a big enough pot.
