Hi! 25-yr-old vegan, 5'6" and 130 lbs. I'm not much of a runner-- I do intervals on the treadmill and bike because they're accessible, and I know it's important. I'm more happy weight training, though. :-)

I love hemp protein powder and pea protein powders. Like several people have already said, though, a lot of us get adequate protein without even trying, so I don't really need to push protein. I eat plenty of beans, lentils, grains. I'm sure that since you use MFP, though, you know where you are on your daily protein…

I'm often looking at my sugar intake too. In my diary today, I was over on my sugar as well, but all of it came from fruits and whole foods except for the 3g from a piece of chocolate. The chocolate, however, was one of the smallest contributors. I try to not worry about the total sugar, but rather the type of sugar and…

That's so difficult. I'm blessed to have a mom who raised me on ricemilk, tofu, and homemade granola. :-) My family isn't vegetarian, but they're conscientious when it comes to nutrition, food quality, and food sources. I'm also lucky in that my boyfriend (who is not a vegetarian or vegan) has taken to a 98% vegan…

It is hard when the people around you aren't supportive. But that's what we're here for: to support you! :-) So...good luck! You can always feel free to message me!

This sounds good. Have you tried freezing your baked version?

Vegan here! :happy: I've been vegan for about 6 years and I went vegetarian about five years before that. 10+ years for me total... and I'd never go back. I originally went vegetarian for ethical reasons. Eventually the same feelings led me to veganism. Once I stopped consuming all animal products, though, I was convinced…

I've made seitan by boiling it--it was more work than I thought it was worth. But I'm glad to see this baked recipe, and I think I'll give seitan-making another try now. From the photos, it looks like the texture of a Tofurky roast. My (non-vegan) boyfriend loves those. :smile:

I just posted in response to this question....but it didn't look like a reply...! Sorry. :heart:

No-- the transition was pretty easy for me for a few reasons. Although I had considered it for a while, I decided overnight to just stop eating all dairy, which was the last non-vegan element in my diet. One night, I ate pizza and ice cream and felt so sick afterward that I said, "Enough!" and just gave it up. A second…

Thanks! I think I'll get a weighted hoop now.

Lots of good tips. :-) I've been Vegan for 6 years, Vegetarian for 10+ years. It's just natural to me now. When someone asks me about becoming vegetarian, the first piece of advice that I give is to make sure you don't become a junk-food-vegetarian. So many new vegetarians load up on refined carbs and processed vegetarian…

I've been Vegan for 6 years, Vegetarian 10+ years. I'd never go back. :smile: I'm not an "evangelical vegan" (meaning, I won't preach "vegetarianism" at you). But, I'd love to share anything about my recipes and experience. I'm glad to see other vegetarians on the message boards! I live in rural Northeast PA and it's rare…

Hula hooping is a full-body involvement for a lot of people, I think! ;-) I can hula hoop for about half an hour before my knee starts to bother me, but only if I spin the hoop in one direction...lol. If I go the other direction, it hurts. I'm just starting to get back to the stationary bike, so it's still nice to hula…

I'm interested to know this also! I have been hula hooping a lot lately because I've been babying an injured knee. I had thought about getting a weighted hoop, but I didn't entirely believe the claims about calorie burn.
