@janejellyroll Thank you so much! I hope you have a great week

I just want to thank everyone for their reply! I have learned a lot and definitely am more motivated than ever! It’s quite hard to find people around me (my family & even in the gym) that are trying to learn, transition, &/or merge into this lifestyle. I wish everyone luck and blessing in your lives! Thank you for time and…

@janejellyroll Yes thank you! I have been reading a lot more lately compared to audiobooks and ebooks. Something about having a book in my hand makes me feel connected and more eager to finish it! If you know what I mean. I’ll definitely go to my local library or book store to see I can find this. Any other sources of…

@gessmer So have you given up your vegetarian diet completely? Or are you/will you consider it again in the future?
-
@jgnatca I see what you are saying! It’s not just about reaching my calorie intake.. it’s about giving what my body needs!!! I really like the idea of energy bars! Why did I not think of this? I appreciate your honesty.
-
@dannosaur You are on fire!! All this information you have given me truly is helpful and I appreciate it! I definitely screenshot your message as well! I will definitely look up how to successfully meal prep as I am terrible at it!
-
@cwolfman13 That is very interesting that you are able to balance yourself and try other dishes! I am part Thai , Italian, and Puerto Rican. I was raised by my grandmother who has a ton of vegan dishes that I love to eat. The transition to veganism isn’t that hard in terms of trying and eating food. It’s definitely…

@janejellyroll you hit the nail on the head. Thanks to everyone’s reply on this post I have definitely realized I need to incorporate more fats and different types of legumes and lentils. I just screen shot your message! It was extremely helpful and informative! THANK YOU!
-
@lynn_glenmont Yes i do eat legumes but not much and not on a daily basis! Although this is making much sense to me now that you put it the way that you did! Another person suggested this as well. I will try to increase my intake of this. Do you know the daily recommendation? A cup or more ? As for healthy fats... I did…

@madarahr see the way my bank account is looking... lol just kidding but I truly wonder how much a nutritionist would be? And if they would be willing to take insurance! I would definitely need to research this! Thank you for your input!
-
@Knoxvilla5 Amazing suggestion. I had not thought of preparing smoothies for the week. Would they go bad after a certain amount of days? Since I like to mix greens and berries... should I place these in the freezer? And I know right @h1udd has given me some great information and suggestions. But everyone else has…
-
@dannosaur I’ve been on the verge of just reaching into my fridge and eating my veggies raw (After I wash them of course) to curb hunger pains. I’m always hungry now!
-
@josiebanks18 You are gorgeous! And thank you for your insight! Since I have been trying to input some vegan meals in here I realized the difference in calories in my foods! That’s what made it so tough in the beginning to get to my daily calorie goal! I found that eating assorted vegetables was filling me up quickly…
-
@h1udd At least you are honest with yourself. But the fact that you are curious and researching makes me wonder if you have a vegan conscious mind ready to come out? Lol just kidding. So in your opinion.. what is a full protein profile look like? Since my fitness pal has a recommendation of how much protein I should intake…
-
@dannosaur Great question! So for me to gain weight I have to eat 2100 calories a day. It WAS tough to reach this daily but ever since I have been working out for a whole month my appetite has increased and I am able to reach this calorie intake, sometimes surpassing slightly by 200. Do you believe I should eat more or…
-
@h1udd Very great and honest suggestion! I like your bluntness! I feel pressured because I feel like I am wrecking havoc on my body. My family has a history of all types of cancers and I am trying my best to avoid them! My mother is a survivor of colon cancer but is still hypoglycemic! Which I believe I’ve been close to…
-
@WorkerDrone83 thanks for your reply! I could try to see how I feel without taking iron supplements and try a different source of iron! Thanks for your insight! As for our vegan conscious mind... I believe it’s for the greater good. But I only wish my body would follow.
-
@kommodevaran That’s a tough way to put it.. health or animals. An altruists way would definitely to be sacrifice their wants or needs for the animal. I wish I could be strong enough to be an altruist for the sake of animals.

PS I do not drink milk! I try hard to stay away from cheese and it works most of the time since I believe I am lactose now. Cheese really messes me up and if I am running around town I definitely don’t eat it if ya know what I mean LOL! I do eat eggs from time to time but I have been substituting for tofu now! Which is…
