Any Vegans/Vegetarians??

I eat fish, eggs and occasionally chicken but not dairy or red meat. My diet is probably 70% vegan, I usually eat either eggs or fish in one meal per day. I used to be completely veg. My eating habits are due to both health and ethical/environmental reasons. I'd actually really like to phase eggs out too, eventually.

Love to share support and recipes with like minded ppl - please add me!

I was vegan for a long time and plan to go back to it when no longer breastfeeding. It's a wonderful diet that increased my endurance dramatically, however it did not result in weight loss.

Im a vegetarian im trying to become vegan I just began drinking almond milk now cheese is the next step you know one day at a time

I've been working on a mostly plant-based foods diet since about January 5th. Not long, but just trying right now to see if this is something I want to do long term. I have had some fish, small portion of cheese, a few eggs over the past three weeks, but red meat only once. I found I Iost the taste for meat very quickly. Cooking for my family is a challenge, since they still want all their normal foods. So far, I feel good and have more energy, so I think I will continue on and see what happens. Feel free to add me!

Great job on the weight loss and thanks for the website info!

Yes, I am aware that there is a difference concerning vegan and plant-based. Like I said, I'm not quite sure where I fit in or which direction I will eventually go. It's hard to change 42 years of habits overnight. I have requested the free vegan information from Peta.org. It never hurts to be educated.

I'm a vegan for 20 years. There is a vegan group here as well.

I'm vegan too

I have been a pescatarian (vegetarian diet+fish) for 19 years. The fish, dairy, and eggs I do eat are ethically and ecologically farmed/caught. Add me as a friend if you like; always looking for buddies!

Just to clarify, there is a difference between being vegan and eating a plant-based diet. The goal of veganism is to abstain from using animals and animal products in any way (this includes clothing, cosmetics, cleaning products, etc), and the diet is just part of that. I think most people in this thread are discussing plant-based diets. Just wanted to dispel any confusion.

Very glad someone posted this; I think they are far too often confused. I'm always confused when people say they are vegan while wearing leather shoes and slathering lanolin-filled lotion on themselves.

I'm looking for other vegans/vegetarians to be pals with. If you'd like to add me, please be willing to share your daily food diary with your friends. It helps me to get ideas and stay motivated to see and share what we're eating (especially with fellow vegetarians and vegans). It also keeps me honest and accountable (some days are better than others but I am committed to logging all of it). If you're uncomfortable sharing your food diary with friends, I totally understand and respect that but we're probably not looking for the same thing in an online fitness pal so it wouldn't be a good fit. Either way, best of luck to you on your journey!

Also, if you're a frequent shopper at Trader Joe's - let's be pals!! We could really share ideas!

looking for more pals as well i was a fairly strict vegan for several years, but sort of fell of the wagon during and after pregnancy : /

trying to return to my old hardcore ways!

Hi!

I've been a vegetarian for 8 years, and at times, have flirted with being a vegan. I wasn't really missing the dairy, it was just really inconvenient for me. I hope someday to try it again. Feel free to add me. I have a lot of veg friends on here. I like getting ideas from them on new foods to try.

oh and feel free to add me btw. warning though, although i've lost alot of weight, most of this is through exercise and i still eat alot of ****e (just look at my diary pour example)

vegetarian here!
