    I'm not strictly vegan, still eating eggs and cheese, drinking milk and eating fish.

    I am a semi vegan and this sounds similar to what I'm doing. I love sushi with fish and I have a "cheat day" 3x per week when I eat stuff like burgers and hot wings. It's working great for me!!!!!!

    i cheat 2 times per day... am i semi vegan?

    I'm no expert.but I'm pretty sure that means you're vegetarian

    Ugh, the term is part-time vegan!!!

    Pescetarian, that is the word you are looking for.

    Ovo-lacto-pescetarian

    I'm vegan when I eat salad, except for all those bacon bits.

    Omnivore is so much easier to say, though.

    how can someone be "half vegan"?

    Isn't vegan a lifestyle?

    What are they the other half of the time?

    Does it mean I'm vegan when I'm eating carrots, but not when I'm eating a hamburger?

    I am vegetarian and am moving toward cutting out dairy and eggs. (Eggs are vile anyway.)

    I love being vegan. I have so much more energy than when "Bessie" was on the menu. :)

    I hope that happens to me. Feeling like reconstituted death at the moment, though. But it might be coincidence. Besides, I gave Atkins two weeks to get me feeling better when it made me feel like crap, so I figure I owe Bessie and the rest of the barnyard bunch two weeks of not eating them to see if I feel better, too.

    I just started yesterday. Purely ethical reasons. Been vegetarian before, but not sure what I've gotten myself into with this. If I get sick, tired, or gain weight, Bessie is back on the menu. With that said, feel free to add me.

    Wait, what?
    It's an ethical reason but you'll go back to eating meat? Just trying to understand. I know some people that went vegetarian and they actually developed a food allergy to beans, so I can understand that. Have you done much research on what you'll need to make sure you'll get nutrition wise? I say this because I know tons of people that have gone vegetarian/vegan and didn't know what they should be doing and didn't get proper nutrition (I was probably one for a long time since I started being a vegetarian 24 years ago).

    If I get sick, of course I'll go back to eating meat. Ethical and willing to die to not a eat a cow are two different things in my book. I have done the research, even taking a multivitamin, too, just in case.

    Plant based, whole foods, no processed foods. Well for the most part. Still struggle with junk food as my husband leaves it lying around all the time. Chips in particular.

    Why would you get sick from eating Vegan?? If you follow a good Vegan diet it is healthy! IMO eating animal flesh and secretions will make you sick.
