Been vegan again for 1 month, minus Christmas day where I had a few bites of cheesey spinach dip and mashed potatoes because I partied the night before and was not strong enough for my vulnerabililty. Paid the price, and was reminded why I dont eat the stuff. It's bad for my body and the world ( Read more... )

Today was day four of me being vegan. I think my body is beginning to finally adjust to the food I've been feeding it. I'm not starving as much as I was the second day. So I feel like I'm on track. I've just got to get meal plans straightened out so I get all sorts of yummyness variety.

I was craving cheese today. Like big time. So I when I was at ( Read more... )

We'll actually, I'm pretty sure I am. Before I changed to a vegan diet, I was an omnivore. I basically became vegan overnight.
But anyway, this is Day 2 and my symptoms are:

-Gassy
-Bloaty
-STARVING
-Sleepy
-Sore throat

I don't know if the sore throat actually has anything to do with the diet. I'm probably just reacting to the change in weather. Or ( Read more... )

Hi. I'm seriously considering being a vegan because there are just so many wonderful benefits. Losing weight is a contributing factor, but I'd like to think there's more to it (sad animals, healthy body, glowy skin etc.).

 Guys, I went to the Decatur Farmer's Market, which is about the size of a city, and came back with a box of twelve young coconuts.  Do you guys have any awesome, unbelievable recipes that would be interesting to try?

 Hey y'all. I've been a vegetarian for five years and I've been an on-and-off vegan for two. This month, I'm going raw. I'm wondering if you guys have any good tips or recipes? Unfortunately, I'm a student so I eat caffeteria food and don't have much time to cook; but I REALLY want to make this work ( Read more... )

 I have never, ever fasted before.  Ever.  Mostly because I am crazy about cooking, and also because I assumed people would give me strange looks and insist on signing me up for an anorexia clinic.  But still ( Read more... )

Hello, everyone; new member here!  Not concerned so much with weight loss as just overall health...which, I suppose, includes weight loss but isn't totally defined by it.

Current weight:  about 130 (I'm teaching at a summer program without a scale but with a horrendous cafeteria...so yeah.)
Current height:  5'5"
Goal weight:  115-120

 I plan to do a fresh juice fast, w/ smoothies, & occasional raw fruits and veggies. I am working up to it right now by being vegan again and eating as live and pure as I can.

I would love some support in my endeavors to be vegan again and to jump start not only my weight loss but my health with a juice/smoothie fast.
