Hello All,
My good friend and co-worker Synthia and I will be starting this challenge on Monday 3/14 and would love to have a few people to join us, Go Vegan or go home... lol! Your level of activity is completely up to you but I am currently following the step goals on my Garmin Vevofit 2 which is roughly 7,200 steps a day. The only rule is no eating any meat or animal bi-products. this is new to me so I am no expert, but hey lets learn together. I will be posting recipes daily and weighing in at the end.

If i make spaghetti and meatballs and eat it without the meatballs is it vegan?0

depends on the type of pasta. Generally pasta is made with eggs which are an animal bi-product, but some companies like Barilla make vegitable pasta which is 100% vegan. Its also super cheap. I just went shopping yesterday and picked some up and it was on sale 6 for $8. I got tomato & carrot spaghetti and zucchini rotelle. Also as long as your sauce is a basic red sauce you should be fine.0

So upon having my breakfast smoothie which i accompanied with 1/4 cup of sunflower seeds for extra protien, a multivitamin and a cup of lemon water. I now realize I prefer flax meal to oats. Raw whole oats have kind of a weird after taste that you don't get with flax meal. So tomorrow morning I think I will sub in flax meal and see how that goes. How was everyone's breakfast?0

I can't speak for other countries, but in the US the majority of dried pasta is egg-free. The exception would be egg noodles, but other than that I find that virtually every brand of dried pasta has egg-free options.
Fresh pasta typically does have eggs.0 -
I started doing vegan a week ago today. I am trying to keep it really simple and clean, (food in it's rawest most natural form) and straight may I say from God. Food that hasn't been processed or jacked with or tainted with heat even, let alone added chemicals, sugars, etc. I may succeed and I may not. But after watching a lot of shows on Netflix I think minds change, (mine has for now). Wish me luck. I am no expert but now am trying to learn how others do this and finding my way amongst such a maize that appears when trying to eat well in a very unhealthy eating country (USA). Hugs to all.0

I was unaware of that. I've been making my own pasta for years and only buy the dried stuff if I need a complicated shape, lol. Thanx for the info, its really helpful!janejellyroll wrote: »depends on the type of pasta.
