People are HELL. Oh and I forgot to mention that even at my wedding, people made stupid remarks about the food. Sigh. Yes, that is how rude people can be.
Question:
I’m 6 feet tall, 155 lbs. I’m not overweight by any stretch of the imagination, but I want to be around 135 lbs. I want to lose this weight before the end of June. I’ve become a vegan in this process and am avoiding all dairy and animal products. Any advice for exercise/this kind of dietary lifestyle?
I play varsity basketball and so I get about 1.5-2 hours 5 days of the week.
Question:
lately i’ve been reading up on the health benefits of veganism, and have been strongly considering it. i am not vegetarian, but i don’t eat a lot of a meat. i do, however, eat a lot of egg/dairy products. i can see myself making substitutions and kicking these out as well. my biggest concern is B12. are supplements really adequate? also, is there a term for a vegetarian that eats no meat/dairy/eggs, but still consumes fish? i’ve heard of pescaterianism but i don’t think the dairy/eggs thing applies to them. also, going from straight form omnivore to veganism (undecided on the fish thing) and are there any steps i should take or should i just dive into it?
i’m not making the changes to “label” myself. i am solely concerned about health benefits. it is easier to find a labeling-word in order to find information.
Question:
I’m learning to keep my mouth shut to my friends/family about my new lifestyle change. I’ve got everything from: it’s too expensive, being vegan is not healthy, kids should eat whatever they want, to – “you are weird”. Wondering if any of you have gone through this and still do?
Question:
I’m trying to become a vegetarian but I don’t want to be a vegan but the only recipes I’ve found online are vegan recipes. I’m not ready to go that far yet. I’m just trying to cut meat out of my diet.
Are there any good websites for beginner vegetarians?
Question:
I would like to find a place where I can learn from others about preparing vegan meals. There are no vegan (or even vegetarian) restaurants where I live.
I haven’t been able to find others who are trying to eat healthier, vegan (or even vegetarian) meals in my area.
I have been trying to read about various vegan and vegetarian recipes at the library, but I really need to learn from others one-on-one, if possible.
I found a web site for vegetarians, but could learn so much faster and easier if I were able to get together with other people trying to eat healthier vegan meals:(http://www.VegSource.com)
