By clean I mean foods that have not been modified/had additives in any way. I eat organicfoods that come in their most purest forms. none of this processed crap and i stay away from foods with preservatives. Kind of straight forward, right? I don't understand why people use the term superfood, when they are simply just…

Vegetarian is ethical reasons, I have been one for over 6 years and going back to it as a 'quick fix' jut isnt an option for me. A lot of people tell me that I should go back to meat to increase my protein and iron intake but my opinion is that there is always an alternative, which is exactly why I posted this for some…

I do understand that obviously alternatives are going to increase my Carb and fat intake, I just find as a vegetarian/mostly dairy free person, a lot of my options are unhealthily high in Carb and fat, I just want something middle ground that isnt going to as I said sabotage my diet completely. But thanks for your thoughts…

Thanks heaps, this is exactly the type of thing I'm looking for... things I've never heard of is always exciting. Will have to try some

Thanks very much I've never heard of seitan before so I will give it a go!

I literally have eaten lentils/pulses and beans only a few times in my life so that's something I'll need to start eating

Thanks for all the advice. Only issue is that I don't eat any meat/fish/eggs or tofu. I do have Greek yoghurt every second day but gives me a stomach ache so I try not to eat too much of it. Perhaps I need to look into higher protein vegetables. And lentils and beans are definitely something I need to add to my diet!thanks…

I have done the same thing 3 times in a row I have lost a considerable amount of weight and then gained it back. This is due to fad diets and quick fixes. I'm now in the process of changing my lifestyle and to have a balance of good AND bad. It would be great to support each other, will add you now!
