Fructose (sugar from fruit) is good for you, no matter how much you eat.. refined sugar is the type we should be counting. Look at fruitarians, they are just fine! As long as fruit is your source of sugar, you have got NOTHING to worry about! It has far more nutritious benefits to the body than refined/processed sugars.

I also used to do paleo and I thought that is was super healthy but after all the research I did when I became vegan, I realized how dangerous ketogenic diets truly are! I know it's quite a challenge to eat a significantly higher amount of carbs than you're used to. An easy way to get them in is through lots of fruits,…

Vegan tooooo!

I used to suffer terribly from eczema because of my lactose intolerance and although I cut out lactose products I would still react through other foods that I was unaware of containing traces of dairy. Until I fully dedicated myself to veganism and I have never felt better! I no longer need to worry whether or not I will…

Hemp, chia, pumpkin, sunflower seeds, black beans, lentils, peas, oats, broccoli, brown rice, buckwheat, tofu, soy milk, leafy greens, chickpeas! And all low in fat and cholesterol.

BANANA ICE CREAM !!!

Budget friendly advice would be to stick to lots of dry staples that can be stored (brown rice, lentils, black beans, oats, pasta, quinoa, buckwheat). Doing lots of research is essential, although I highly recommend high carb low fat! Carbs are your friends, they give you insane amounts of energy, muscle strength and trim…

I also have the same problem! I am also a vegan and I can control any binges until pnb comes into the equation because then it's game OVER! Lately I have been managing to control these moments of weakness by eating intuitively. Asking myself,"do I really need this ? Am I making a mindFUL or mindLESS food choice ?" At some…

Thank you all so much for your advice, I do so appreciate it! :) It will be taken into action for sure, this has encouraged me greatly to step out of my comfort zone quite a bit

Sometimes I just feel really unwell when I eat around 1000 calories and I feel rather disgusting physically. I gain weight really easily though, so if I have eaten high calories in a day that exceeds my calorie burn, I tend to gain. I really want to get out of the cycle of gaining on "normal" eating days while still doing…

I don't really struggle with sticking to my fasting, I just don't have much of an appetite and even on days that I do have higher caloric intake, I still battle to consume that much purely because I can't eat that much food (800 is the average in general)

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! This is really helpful!:)

My goal is to lose as much body fat as possible and tone overall. I would still like to lose a couple more kg's, I just can't seem to manage it

I'm 161cm (5'3 I think) and 50kg (110lb)

Unfortunately I do not have one yet, but I do meticulously measure quantities. I am a raw till 4, hclf vegan and I don't use salt or condiments so I know that I don't have any issues with unknown calories

I generally stay under 800 calories a day, occasionally I reach 1000 but not often. I know it's really disgusting but I do gym and exercise several times during the week as well. How much would you recommend reducing my intake by then ?

Chia seeds, broccoli, lentils, chickpeas, nuts, hemp, peanut protein powder, tempeh, seitan, beans and greens!

I highly recommend the high carb, low fat vegan diet!! It is virtually near impossible to suffer from high cholesterol when you are eating whole grain, plant based foods. Your energy levels are through the roof, your digestion improves, skin clears, all the while enjoying a lifestyle of abundance and nourishment for your…

Something that is vital for transitioning into veganism is research. Learn what foods contain what nutrients and how much is in say a cup full of whatever the food is. Protein rich foods are beans and legumes (black beans, kidney beans, white beans, navy beans, chickpeas), lentils, chia seeds, oats, rice, tofu, hemp seeds,…
