Seriously why do people comment when they have no idea what they are talking about. It's the same amount of protein and calories as a cow burger, except without the cholesterol. Healthy to eat daily- NO. But no one should be eating any kind of burger with that high of fat daily. Once in a while to kill a craving without…

Switch to plant-based proteins. It's MUCH easier on your kidneys. Animal protein is extremely acidic. Especially if you are eating 1000 calories of it and not much else. Get more healthy calories in. Beans, lentils, beyond meat products, broccoli, greens, tofu, tempeh, hemp, plant protein powders, etc. Check my diary for…

We are the only mammals on earth who drink growth fluid for a baby cow. It's definitely not a natural part of the human diet. Greens will give you the calcium you need. Also, make sure you are not drinking coffee or other foods that inhibit calcium absorption. Vitamin C helps absorb the calcium in the greens. So if you…

Hi I've been vegan for 7 years :smile: Would love some new friends too!

HUMANS are Primates. Fruit is our optimal food, containing all the nutrients we need to survive and thrive, disease free and healthy. :smile: fruit is the best :blush: Your health will definitely suffer if it is limited.

It's funny when people say it's propaganda. It's facts. The trillion dollar meat and dairy industry is the real propaganda. You can't turn on the TV or walk/drive down the street without being inundated with ads promoting it, and then the next commercial is pharmaceuticals. Why are people so sick? Hmmmm I wonder. Hint:…

Do whatever exercise that makes you happy. The end. :wink:

My family cooked a lot too. And was adamant about cleaning our plates! About carbs though, it's not about the carbs: http://www.forksoverknives.com/obesity-its-not-about-the-carbs/

I LOVE CARBS. High carb, low fat, unprocessed yums like rice and beans and fruits and veggies. Lots of muscle gain as a vegan here. Loving it. :smiley: Low carb people are usually crabby and gain the weight back that they lose in an unhealthy way. High carbs from whole foods means happy cells in the body, higher energy to…

I'm vegan! And we also have a Happy Herbivore group - :)

There are a lot of misconceptions here. Most raw foodists do not consume any animal products as they are raw vegans. Also most raw vegans do not eat any Garden of Life shakes or anything like that, just pure raw fruits and veggies and some grains and nuts. Eating raw is super healthy if done correctly. I know many raw…

Huh? Vegan sushi is the best! I eat it all the time!

It's ridiculous. The bone broth is a huge fad among the naturopathics. I went to see a naturopath after I was vegan for a year and had allergies and she told me if I didn't eat meat I would die. LOL I'm still alive and healthier than ever been 5 years later! Another friend of mine with health problems was also told she had…

That's an extremely high amount of protein. Studies show we really don't need that much protein to build muscle. Carbs actually help us build muscle! Excess protein just clogs up the kidneys. Plant based protein is much healthier, but mainly if it's unprocessed. Like lentils, beans, greens and fruit- all plants have some…
-
yes the allergists told me the same thing. I had them for a whole year, seen all kinds of allergists, naturopaths, and finally a functional medicine dr- he helped the most, diagnosing me with leaky gut syndrome (which most conventional docs don't 'believe in'., but whatever) It makes complete sense to me. I was able to…

That is more than enough. Most people eat too much ... it's not healthy to eat as much protein as some do, unless you want damage to your kidneys, liver, bones and heart. There's no such thing as a protein deficiency unless you are starving. Must read: https://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2004nl/040100puproteinoverload.htm

Why not? Are you afraid of variety or change? I love creative, different foods. Especially if they're healthy and delicious :)
-
LOL she doesn't eat only bananas. She eats a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, and now is not even 100% raw. She has switched to a 'Raw till 4' diet that is primarily fruit for breakfast and lunch and a low fat vegan meal at night. I don't support her idea of eating 3000 calories a day and telling everyone they will…

When I first went vegan, my body went through a detox and had to cleanse out all the toxins (via colds, rashes, etc) Then I didn't get sick for 3 years until like a month ago, I was under a lot of stress (which lowers your immune system) and ate a bunch of vegan junk food like doughnuts (sugar is also an immune suppressor)…

Congrats on going vegan!!! :flowerforyou: I've been vegan for a few years, for ethical reasons, but I also feel healthier than ever! The food I eat is so delicious, I never feel deprived! Feel free to add me, my diary is open and I'm trying to log more consistently lately.

http://www.pcrm.org/health/diets/vegdiets/how-can-i-get-enough-protein-the-protein-myth Protein Checklist High-protein diets are unhealthful.

http://www.richroll.com/nutrition/slaying-the-protein-myth/ "“But where do you get your protein?” As a plant-based ultra-endurance athlete, if I had a dollar for every time I fielded this inquiry, I could put my four kids through college.

congrats! feel free to add me! I've been vegan for 3 years and started the Happy Herbivores group...lots of recipes there...also pretty much anything they can make, i can make vegan. Just google what you're craving, add 'vegan' to it and you're almost always find a good recipe! vegan food is very satisfying and delicious,…

It's your decision. Not anyone else's. I went vegan because it made sense to me ethically, morally and health-wise. After 3 years, I feel better than ever, have more energy, enjoy food more, and feel like I'm being the change I wish to see in the world- (non-violence, compassion, peace). Read more books about the subject…

If you care about animals, vegan is the way to go. There is way too much unnecessary suffering in the world already. Eating cheese and bread all the time is not going to make you feel good. If you care about yourself, eat healthy filling foods like rice, beans, whole grain pastas, lots of fruit and veggies. You will feel…

It's delicious! Better than butter or margarine! I don't like that they use palm oil (orangutan deforestation) so I don't use it much but it's better than the cruelty of dairy products.
