    I've been ovo lacto vegetarian for 20 years. I've just shocked myself writing that, I didn't quite realise I'd been vegetarian for 2 thirds of my life! I very occasionally eat tuna if I feel I'm low in iron because iron tablets make me sick. WOuls love some veggie friends to share diaries with. Only recently started to diet again!

    You can add me too, if you'd like! Basically vegan (but don't call myself that, cause I'm a dietary vegan).

    I'm REALLY REALLY trying to be vegan. I'm anemic though so I can only do it bursts.. like 6 weeks or so, and then I don't feel well until I eat some type of meat or dairy. Not sure why this keeps happening but would love some advice to PLEASE friend me!

    I have to ask - do you know what kind of anemia you have? And have you talked to your dr about this? I'm asking because dairy doesn't have much iron in it, so if dairy relieves your symptoms, it sounds like it might be something else (low protein, vit B12 deficiency, maybe?). Just a thought. :)

    Vegetarian for 20+ years, and started incorporating fish into my diet about 10 years ago. Would love to get some new ideas. Feel free to add:)

    I'm a vegetarian. Just since September/October but I'm so glad I made that choice! I still have dairy products, etc. on occasion but I rarely purchase them (egg replacements that don't have any egg in them work, and soy milk instead of regular milk) but I don't cut them completely out of my diet.

    I've been a vegetarian for 6 years and have looked into becoming vegan, but I'm not much of a cook and milk is in so much of what I eat for protein. I would love help and suggestions! I'm in Texas and there are not a lot of vegetarians around here!

    Vegan here!

    Oh and for those missing pizza, you can make it (or order it without the cheese if you get delivery) and put Daiya Cheese on it. It's a newer vegan cheese that is awesome.

    Feel free to add me, but remember I've had gastric bypass so that's why my food intake is unusually low.

    I have been vegetarian for 25 years and an on again off again soy-free vegan for over a year. My dad has been vegan for 20 years and my son has been a soy-free vegan for 2 years. Hubby eats what I eat, so he is mostly vegan.
    Would love more mfp friends and would love to see some raw vegan diaries!

    I'm none of those but am a whole foods plant based eater and do keep vegetarian during the week. And a large percentage of what I eat is vegan, like dinner tonight: Italian tempeh, glazed carrots, and sauteed mushrooms. Cheers! :flowerforyou:

    Add me! :love:

    Vegetarian now for 3 months, mostly vegan eating and shopping! Can't seem to give up the occasional cheese but working on it! Would love some other vegetarian/vegan friends for recipe ideas and insight on some vegan food diaries. I could use all the support I can get :)
