Any active vegans or vegetarians on here?! :)

I'm getting back into vegetarianism and would love to have you add me! As well as anyone else following a vegetarian/vegan diet - I enjoy looking at diaries for ideas! My very favorite thing is my breakfast smoothie:

1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup oats
1 tbsp cocoa
1 banana
About 4 ice cubes

I use my magic bullet to blend/grind it all into a delicious chocolatey smoothie!

I'm as active vegetarian as they come, with a goal to become fully vegan in July of this year.

I am a vegetarian. Not vegan though, as I rely rather heavily on greek yogurt and egg whites for protein.

My doctor recently suggested that I cut out cheese and reintroduce white meat and/or fish in my diet for health reasons but I really don't want to. I would really appreciate any veggie friends with open diaries to help me prove my doctor wrong!

What has the doctor said that you need to prove wrong?

Vegetarian since birth and became vegan jan 2010, then when I became pregnant I started consuming cheese again, now I regret it horribly and hopped back on the anti-cheese wagon since new years. Vegan from here on out

Vegetarian here! Friend request sent.

I've been vegetarian for 12 years. I cook most of what I eat and most of the recipes I use come from AllRecipes.com or Wholefoodsmarket.com. I've recently started strength training so I've have been trying to eat more protein and have been able to hit the daily goal pretty easily with beans, quinoa, nuts and yogurt. I run and bike. I just had a physical in December where they did a complete blood chemistry and everything was great, including B12 which is the hardest to get for vegetarians/vegans. So a vegetarian/vegan diet can be healthy and nutritious with careful planning and knowledge. I think cooking your own food is the best way to ensure this.

I am a vegan for more than 10 years. It has been so long that I have to chuckle when folks ask me if it is hard. it actually seems easier to me since there are so many unhealthy foods you just don't eat.

I'm not into shakes anyway, but it's got rice in it, so it's out for me!

I personally use the Sunwarrior brand of protein powder every morning with some PB2, and it tastes amazing without such a huge cost. Sunwarrior is vegan with sprouted brown rice and I feel full for a good couple hours. Also the calorie content compared to nutrition is awesome.

I have been off and on vegetarian/vegan for a while now, but as of last month decided to go back to as close to vegan as I can. I love the light feeling on my stomach at all times even after eatting till I am full. I also love the taste of food when the flavors start coming out brighter and lighter.

I'm a vegan, my biggest struggle is too many carbs- Please add me. I only have one friend on here so far. I need to lose 20 pounds and get back in shape and am open to advice. Also, no matter what I eat, I never really feel full so any advice on that any of you can give would be awesome!

kristine813

One tip for you, I use Arbonne's Protein shakes when I'm on the go and want a healthy and more cost friendly meal than eating out. They are certified vegan as well as gluten free! Let me know if you'd like more info.

I LOVE Arbonne. I just tried the Protein shakes for the first time this week. I drink them after a workout, quicker than putting together a smoothie. They taste pretty good too. I love all things Arbonne!

I have been a vegan for about a year and a half now and absolutely love it! Feel free to add me! I don't update my food diary often because I don't have much time, but I do stay pretty active with exercise!

niklynne

Vegetarian here. I also find the carbs vs protein hard to manage. I do.not.like.tofu. And, sadly, I rely on processed "meat" replacements a lot. But, they are yummy. *sigh*

I have tried, a few times, to go vegan. But I'll be honest... I love cheese TOOO MUCH. It is always my downfall.

Feel free to add me!

I'm a vegetarian and like to cook vegan recipes. Would really recommend appetite for reduction cookbook for low fat but yummy vegan food. I'm not quite at the stage where I want go fully vegan yet but I am taking it in small steps and I hope to get there one day. Feel free to add me as a friend on here.

I've been vegetarian for almost 2 years. When i started, i did it mostly out of ethical reasons (factory farming abuse, etc.) but now i also realize it is so much more of a healthy lifestyle as well. Don't know how well my food diary looks, as i'm a guy who tends to not cook up crazy meals everyday, but anyone is free to add me if they wish.

I've been a vegetarian since December 21, 1989. I don't have any nutritional concerns for me. However, I have lots of nutrition concerns for those eating the Standard American Diet (SAD). I gained weight when I stopped journaling my food and exercising regularly. Now that I'm back on those two things, the weight is coming off. Oh- and my blood pressure is down, I'm off the c-pap and I feel much more energetic.
