  • Tomatoes! I love them raw but stewed are pretty good as well. I also like cabbage. Usually cook it with some onions, peppers and potatoes with a few seasonings. So good.
  • Have you recently just started to eat more veggies? Its completely normal to bloat after eating some veggies especially on the quantity you're eating. Usually I bloat when i eat diary. Maybe try to keep track if you feel bloated at other times eating certain foods to see if it's your protein source getting you bloated or…
  • What do you mean mess you up? I know the soy milk gets a lot of mixed comments but never heard anything bad about almond milk. I think it's safe unless you have a allergy or it doesn't sit well with you. I drink almond milk a lot, especially in my coffee.
  • I am the same. Breakfast I'm usually fine but lunch and dinner I always want something sweet. I usually keep mini chocolates and even the sugar free hard candies. At night I usually have some sugar free fudgesicles, yogurt, frozen fruit or hot chocolate/tea. I Like things like chocolate, yogurt and fruit frozen because it…
  • Vegetarian for 9 years here. There are so many "meatless" options now out there to try. They even have 'fish' sticks by gardien I believe. I'd suggest to just play around with recipes and flavor up. Search online for "faux tuna" I make that often. Take a look at foodgawker.com and look through to get some ideas
  • Roasted chickpeas are really good You can spice them up any way you want to sweet or savory. Sunflower seeds and making your own trail mix. You can eat your veggies with some hummus. There are a bunch of great vegan sites you can check out like chocolatecoveredkatie.com Ohsheglows.com and forksoverbeans. Also try to join…

  • Sliced cucumber or carrots. A nice salad Cottage cheese I love having tomato soup along with sandwiches
  • I'm in! though I would love to lose maybe 6 pounds by then
  • I've quit smoking for about 6 months now. I smoked a lot and it was even worse when I was out with friends. When I started to quit I tried to do it during a time I knew it wasn't going to be stressful for me and started to gradually cut down by a cig or two every other day. I chewed a lot of gum and even made sure I was…
  • 801010/RT4 can be quite expensive since the amount of fruit you'll consume. Everyone is literally different on how they'll be on it. I tried it before but I always felt overly full and extremely bloated on it. I did feel like I had more energy though but id say give it a try if it really interests you. Some people do well…
  • Pirates booty age white cheddar puffs String cheese Almonds/pumpkin seeds (make your own trail mix) Grapes Baked chickpeas (so good!so many ways to flavor em) Greek yogurt (I like to freeze mine occasionally. Takes longer to eat and satisfies my cold sweet cravings I get) Pretzels Quest bars/any protein bar
  • I do it usually for 12-14 hours. Like 6pm to 8am usually. I personally like it because I wake up hungry and I don't go to bed with a full stomach. It takes awhile to get used to sometimes. When I first started I would get hungry before bed(I sleep by 9 usually) and I used to night snack but once you get past that its…
  • Hurting as in upset or just a pain? When I first started eating healthier I had a upset stomach for a bit til my stomach got used to eating more veg/fruit. Also if it persists definitely do a food diary and elimination diet to see if you have a intolerance or maybe it's just indigestion/heart burn. If all else fails and it…
  • Vegetarian for 7 years and slowly making the switch to vegan
  • Sugar free fudgesicles, Nana ice cream (you can literally make it whatever type of flavor ice cream) homemade yogurt covered pretzels. Sometimes if I crave a type of ice cream treat I'll buy the reddi whip and graham crackers and spray the whip on the cracker making it like a sandwich then freezing it and its just like a…
  • Quest bars!!! They're so good but they're a bit pricy. You could make your own oatmeal bars or protein muffins. I usually like to eat make my own protein balls which is basically just oats, nuts, choice of but butter and dried fruit
  • Do lots of research to make sure you get all the nutrition you need. Stock up on some vegan staples and some really good sites are Findingvegan.com Chocolatecoveredkatie.com Forks over bean Foodgawker.com I'm vegetarian at the moment and on my way to being vegan
