Vegan Buddies w/open diaries!~

I try to eat as close to vegan as I can....when I'm home i eat pretty vegan....Cheese does get the best of me sometimes....is this ok? lol

Pizza is my downfall too, but if it has cheese i love it. I'm mostly vegan, as in no milk, cut down alot on eggs and gonna phase em out, and cheese at home i try to eat non-dairy, same with ice cream, cream cheese, sour cream, and butter. But hey, I can't be at home 24/7 so you gotta make allowances.SOME change is better than NO change, right?

I'm not vegan by choice, but a lot of animal products I just don't like the taste of. Also, eggs scare me. Honourary vegan?

Have you tried almonde almond milk yogurt or so delicious coconut milk yogurt? I've been vegan in the past and I lived off these. They're so much better than the soy ones.

Also try theppk.com and godairyfree.org

I can't offer too much support at the moment other than keep pushing yourself. You will be tested by junk. Especially when you're busy and hungry. Even a vegan diet can be riddled with junk food and tons of processed foods. Stay away from thar stuff as best you can. PLAN PLAN PLAN your days. You should know today exactly what you're going to have tomorrow. I have been doing vegan for 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it. I don't miss a thing about my old life. Get creative and try new things. I bought vegetables at the store that I had walked past a thousand times and never knew what to do with them. The internet is your friend. I buy the ingredients and then figure out what to do with them. In two weeks I haven't eaten the same meal twice. Although, the food has been so amazing and full of flavor that I am tempted to keep cooking the same thing over and over again. You will notice that a lot of the dishes and meals you will find are an explosion of flavor. You might get the sweetness of a sweet potato and then hit with the kick of red pepper flakes followed by the tartness of a lime! You will make some amazing creations. As for eating out, don't be afraid to ask your server questions. There are tons of restaurants that have vegan options or you can simply make them vegan by asking for no cheese. Good luck with your endeavors!

i have a mostly vegan diet and mostly I mean i eat lean meat when i do eat meat, but mostly tofu, juicing recipes, raw meal replacements, i aim for foods that meet my daily nutrition.

I don't know how healthy it is but I like the Tofurkey products (brats, sausage, etc)

also the qdoba naked burrito is everything that's on a burrito but on a salad with pinto and blackbeans no meat only 260 cal

can u tell me what u think a vegan can eat

i know most vegans dont eat any animal products...i dont eat dairy except organic shredded pepper jack cheese and i eat lean meats twice a week but i eat low sugar, low carb low calorie foods, and i try to get as much organic and non processed as possible want to transition to raw foodist.

a vegetarian does not eat (at all) any meat fish or poultry not even once a week

a vegan as absoloutly nothing animal or tested on animals again not even if its lean or not or even once a week (not even cheese ) unless its dairy free cheese obviously .

im sure you have a lot of support to give the op but you do not eat nearly vegan and im sorry if u feel i am being rude but it really annoys me when people say they are vegetarian or vegan and then eat meat twice a week

I see where stephvaile is coming from. Being truly vegan is soooo hard. Did you know that most things fortified with vitamin d aren't vegan? D3 comes from sheeps wool. Most breads from the supermarket contain honey or milk or d3. I bought vitamin d2 supplements which is vegan (I have low vitamin d). I think the longest I went vegan for is 6 weeks, and I have a ton of respect for people that are truly vegan.

Hi you can add me. My diary is open and most of my days are vegan.

I never claimed to be vegetarian so i dont get his defensiveness
The flexitarian diet is a modified vegetarian diet that includes the occasional consumption of meat. Flexitarians might eat meat on a formal basis for nutritional purposes, or more loosely for occasional enjoyment or special occasions. In 2003 the American Dialect Society chose “flexitarian” as the most useful word of the year, indicating the growth of this group. Flexitarianism is noted for both its health and environmental benefits.

Many flexitarians devote a certain number of meals per week to vegetarian food. Try starting with one vegetarian meal each week on a consistent basis. Remember that it takes around four pounds of grain to produce one pound of meat, so every way you can limit meat consumption is helpful to the environment. Remember, too, that flexitarianism is precisely that—flexible. Whatever works for you to help stay healthy and reduce your impact on the environment is a positive thing, regardless of the extent to which you perform it.

i am actually a she lol x and actually u claimed to be almost vegan reread your post .


it is very very hard to be a true vegan and most people do it because of animal issues (cruelty extra ) and you have to put alot of effort and planning into getting the right nutritional needs i think that is y the op wants similar buddies to give her good ideas into how to do just that .

i myself love milk egg and and cheese products and so that would not help her at all .

i wish her luck on her lifestyle choice .

but you can call yourself what ever you like but in the real meaning of the words you are not vegetarian or vegan or even almost if you still eat meat . you are still a meat eater if u eat meat and fish and poultry however many times a week it is .

having said that i believe you can have a healthy / or a bad diet wether you eat meat or not both lifestyles are as good as the eater makes it .

i never said that i was almost vegan but that i eat a mostly vegan diet take it how you want
