We've all had a certain goal we want to obtain, whether it's a small one like reducing the amount of carbs we consume or a more focused and prolonged one like being able to stop eating meat and all of its derivatives. We diet for a million different reasons and our objectives are constantly changing, but one thing remains constant and that is how hard it gets to stick to a specific diet or meal plan without cheating or feeling overwhelmed.

In general, changes are hard and we don't always go for the safest option but rather the quickest one. On this blog, we are going to guide you through setting that specific dietary goal and sticking to it in the most effective and mindful way possible. But let's get something clear right away, this is in no way promoting unsafe and unhealthy diets to lose the most amount of weight in the least amount of time by doing something extreme or forcing yourself to eat something you really don't enjoy or simply stop eating at all. This guide is for you to stay focused and vibrant, it could apply to someone who wants to become a vegetarian or vegan, or even to someone who just found out they must stop eating something they used to center their meals around.

Take a look at these tips and share this with someone who needs to hear about them!

There has been a lot of speculation surrounding the bacteria in our gut and how to maintain it healthy or balanced. Gut health is traditionally measured by motility (transit time, stool frequency, stool consistency), histology (structure of cells), permeability of the gut, endoscopy, and other measures of compounds in the stool or tissues. More recently, gut health has also been assessed by the diversity of the bacteria in the gut and what kinds of bacteria can be found.

With that in mind, it is important to point out that the bacteria in our gut depends on the food we eat for energy. Foods high in dietary fiber have a positive effect on the human gut microbiota, or simply any moderated intake of food and drinks with pre and probiotics. Waku for example contains 6 grams of prebiotic fiber, which basically represents 25% of the daily fiber intake we should be consuming.

Here at Waku we are huge fans of delicious sweet desserts and savory snacks. But even though cakes and donuts are delicious, and so are most of the fast desserts we are used to buying, they are not always the healthiest options, nor the most nutritious and delicious ones. That is why, today we have gathered our top 5 all time favorite dessert recipes that you can make from the comfort of your own home by using very easy to obtain ingredients and with the great plus that they are all vegan!

So grab your pen and paper and start writing the names of these amazing recipes down so that you can make them for yourself, your kids, your family and friends and not only be their favorite person, but make them feel a thousand times better with a healthy but still very yummy dessert. Check it out!

Are you under the impression that vegetarian or vegan diets are harder to stick to than carnivore ones? Well, we are here to prove that statement wrong! Switching to a plant-based diet, even if its not everyday, can and will be difficult to get used to, specially if you often eat meat, dairy and other animal products on a daily basis.

Whenever you're trying to make something new you've never tried before, whether it's a new world cuisine, a new baking challenge or yes, cooking vegan, all you need to realize is there's a learning process that has to take place (Brownble, 2018).
