  • I am vegan- have been for years and my body has never been healthier. It's easier to build muscle and get definition now. My husband went vegan shortly after I did because his doctor wanted to put him on cholesterol meds, he went back after three months of being vegan and his cholesterol was fixed. We don't get colds or…

  • Vegan here who gets plenty of protein from things such as chickpeas, lentils, seeds, nuts, beans, nut butters, vega protein powder and bars, clif builders bars (the chocolate hazelnut flavor is my fav), gardein mock meats, tofu, tempeh, seitan, falafal, boca vegan patties and larabars. Cutting out meats and animal products…

  • GMO corn is fed to livestock for the most part, that actually goes for all GMO's. The demand for meat is so high that there is no way all of the animals could be fed conventionally. My husband works for the USDA so he knows. Bacon is so ridiculously overrated. As a vegan I may try this algae if it's offered at one of the…

  • I am vegan myself- it's the healthiest way in my experience. Protein is not the problem people say it is, take a walk into your local hospital and ask for the protein deficiency wing... you won't find one. Here are some samples of what I eat: Breakfast Options: Oatmeal swirled with almond butter and some hemp milk…

  • I put it in my smoothies sometimes- not too much because the flavor is not great, but it has high levels of B12.

  • This website is great for meals! https://minimalistbaker.com/ I would also suggest keeping fresh vegetables and fruits chopped in your fridge for a quick grab and go snack. I keep blueberries, apples, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes on hand myself. You can also pre-measure out your favorite nuts in small containers so that…

  • Eating fruit is great! Don't worry about the sugar content, it is nothing like the sugars found in candy!

  • I don't use any dairy products. Almond milk is great! My favorite is the unsweetened almond coconut blend. So good! Dairy milk is made for baby cows to grow huge, not for humans.

  • Going raw to lose weight means you need to stick to an 80/10/10 ratio (80%- fruit 10%-carbs 10%-fats). I know plenty of raw vegans who are very healthy and have lost weight following that plan. I am vegan and lean towards raw vegan when I get the chance, my favorite restaurants are all raw vegan! If you have a vitamix and…

  • I agree with using tofu, seitan, and tempeh. All types of beans and legumes are filling, and don't forget about nuts and nut butters. I am vegan and I LOVE this great site with recipes: www.theppk.com

  • I listed the processed foods to make it easier to help her and her fiance transition. Most people in the USA eat meat and cheese at each meal and they usually want to retain those flavors and textures at first. Over time those foods make nice treats for my family, but we usually make our own meals with vegetables, grains,…

  • Cows are more gassy because they are ruminants, humans are not. "...the stomach of ruminant animals produces a lot of gas. The animals continually belch, once each minute, to get rid of the gas." Source: http://www.fao.org/docrep/t0690e/t0690e05.htm The gassiest people I have ever encountered were on the Atkin's Diet.

  • I know some raw vegans, but not fruitarians, because they eat veggies and nuts . They are all very healthy and eat a ton of food, they make sauces with different plant foods in their vitamixers. Eventually my husband and I plan to go more in that direction because on the days that we eat fully raw we feel even more…

  • I am vegan and so is my husband (after I went vegan he followed a few weeks later). Check out websites like happy herbivore and post punk kitchen for great recipes. It is so easy to be vegan now. Almond Breeze milks, coconut yogurts, Chao vegan cheese by Field Roast, So Delicious Almond Milk ice creams, Tofutti Better than…
