Hi there! I'm new to MFP and would love to connect with my fellow vegans... and non-vegans too! I lost over 100 pounds a few years ago and have been working hard to maintain and build muscle since then. My fitness is primarily recreational pole dance, but I enjoy lots of other things, too. Glad to be here; I'm enjoying the experience so far.

I could go vegan if it was not for fish0

I'm vegan, too. I've been vegan for about 7 years and vegetarian for about 5 years prior to that.0

Wow, nice to meet you guys! beckers80, I don't know how specific you're wanting me to be, but basically I eat lots of fruits, veggies, beans, whole grains, pasta, nuts, etc. I make LOTS of soups and curries.0

I have been diagonsed with Cancer, and currently trying alternative treatment (natural herbs), trying to avoid a major surgery and chemo. I have heard a change in a diet can be real helpful. I believe not getting meat and just getting veggies and fruit. I have thought about trying but i have been and raised on a farm where meat and taters was our daily dinner. Any advice how to change over without withdrawals?0

You may want to look into the book "Crazy Sexy Diet." It was written by a woman who recovered from Cancer while employing a healthy, plant-based diet. But she's really funny and helpful for everyone.0 -

@Nyspotlight, Thanks I will check that out!0 -
I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Sounds like nyspotlight had a good suggestion... I know that the fake meats and cheeses are pretty helpful for people doing the initial changeover. personally, I don't like to eat too much of it because a lot of it is processed and full of soy. But I think a few times a week should be okay, at least at first. I would recommend Amy's Kitchen meals; a lot of them are vegan. I've also heard awesome things about Gardein. Hope that helps!0

Newbie vegan here.
Going on seven weeks with no flesh, eggs or dairy.
Haven't convinced the wife yet but I feel better.

It blows me away how many vegans are on here! I've been vegetarian for 16 years and have dappled in veganism and raw veganism. But right now I tell people that I'm pescetarian because I've incorporated small amounts of fish into my diet. May I add you anyhow?0

Sure thing, will send a request your way. I'm so stoked to see all these vegans here!0 -
I'm experimenting with a vegan lifestyle right now. It's hard. I am craving stuff. I just started this on Monday. I anticipate having to add eggs and milk soon. I did have milk today. We'll see how it goes. I was already doing a semi vegetarian diet only having fish and chicken, milk and eggs. The animal proteins are causing kidney problems for me so I have to limit them.0
