    Yup... many... they don't tend to hang out on the forums. Might check the groups:

    Low Fat Plant Based Vegan. Glad to see more getting on here! I check the forums probably once a month and Yeah, we don't hang out in the forums or groups because it almost always starts a debate that goes nowhere. Add me as a friend :)

    Not vegan by any means...but I do cook vegan and vegetarian dishes all the time as my wife will only eat a little fish, eggs and cheese. I definitely don't make a point of putting meat in a dish for the sake of having meat.

    Vegan here for 12 years, vegetarian for 20. Every now and again I go raw for awhile as well. Working on more unprocessed whole foods now. Eating as clean as I can. Have a wedding in sept to get ready for!

    I'm vegetarian. My diet is nearly vegan, except that I eat a little egg yolk (I have a histamine reaction to the egg white, so my kids eat that). The groups on here are good.

    I went searching just now for you! Glad to see there a few vegans. My husband has been for years. I haven't eaten much meat but did eat dairy products. Discovered Veganuary and "joined". Ate my last yogurt and am going full force. Tried going vegan a few months ago but was really worried about achieving nutrition when trying to lose weight and work out. This time I have been researching and feel comfortable. I would like to have friends to share recipes and ask questions if needed. I am also gluten free which is sometimes difficult.

    I'm gluten free also. I'm actually on a kind of low histamine diet (for medical reasons).

    I tried being a vegetarian. After 5 months I started getting really sick and was recommended for me to eat little bit of meat. So I just eat organic chicken and ground turkey. I admire those who are vegetarian or vegans.

    I am!!! It looks like I am always low on iron on this app? My blood work is great. What do other vegans do for more iron?

    I struggled with iron even as a non-vegan, so I take a supplement. I also try to eat lots of tofu, tempeh, lentils, oatmeal, and greens.
