I have been a whole food (clean) eater for over year and thought I would try vegan. I see a lot of recipes with white flour, processed soy products, refined white sugar and fake cheese, etc. ( not necessarily on this web site, but in cookbooks or recipe websites) I was just wondering why this is.... I guess I want a whole food, plant based, vegan diet. Am I asking too much? HELP! Your stomach shouldn't be a waist basket.

Many people need transition foods before they will even TRY it. My personal opinion is that they would have an easier time if they jumped in all at once. I make Shelley's Brownies without the listed sugar, and the flour is all whole grain. It still isn't "health food" but it is 35% the calories of a "real" brownie, zero added fat, and it takes the edge off of the 15th to the 19th of every month. (Thank G-d) www

I like to refer to some of those foods as "transition foods." The ideal is absolutely to eat as whole foods a diet as possible. You might enjoy this cookbook by Christina Pirello, Cooking the Whole Foods Way. She's amazing. A cancer survivor who cooks with, you guessed it, whole foods.
