Try Namely Marley and Oh She Glows for fantastic recipes! Also, Mark Bittman's book, "How to Cook Everything Vegetarian." He's not a vegetarian, so his meals appeal to "carnivores" and everything is delicious! Also, rethink your "plate" at dinner time. Your plate doens't have to be a piece of meat surrounded by veggies.…

All my days are meat free (vegan) and I average about 40 grams of protein a day. I'm only 5'0" and am not an athlete so this is perfect for me. I do this without ever worrying about getting more protein. So someone who is diligent can EASILY go meat free and get lots of protein. Good luck!

I'm in the middle of week 2 and am loving it so far! Last night it was 95 degrees outside, but I did my run anyway and now I feel like I can do ANYTHING! I told my husband to remind me, next time I don't want to run, that I ran when it was hella hot out and that I can do it! Love this program!

Thanks for this! I've got some veggie sausage I've been trying to figure out something to do with and this seems perfect!

Here is a "cheater" pad thai recipe that I use all the time!

I want to pick it up, but haven't yet. I'm going to work through some other cookbooks, but I put this on my wish-list! It's supposed to be pretty good!

OMG! Isn't it good? I literally dreamt about this casserole. So yum!

I was thinking of putting together a team for the Chicago walk. Would you be interested?

Bump

Yes this! Or a bagel with tofutti & jam! Or soy yogurt with fruit & flax seeds! Or oatmeal with peanut butter stirred in! Yummy!

Yes. OMG! Need to find me some Uptons!

Bump!

You look amazing! This is such an inspirational story and I'm so glad you are one of my friends! You will get to goal weight, I jut know it! Thanks for sharing!

B12 deficiency can happen because of the bodies inability to digest B12. It is an actual, physical inability to digest B12. It could happen to anyone. From what I understand it is a matter of numbers. More people eat meat, so more meat-eaters have B12 deficiencies. Does that make sense?

Welcome! :D It's something I researched before going vegan, so glad I could help!

I posted this on PAGE TWO - but it got overlooked. Here it is, this is how people used to get B12.

SERIOUSLY? Cows provide milk for baby cows. When the baby stops drinking milk, the cows stop producing milk. Just like a woman who has a child doesn't breastfeed for the rest of her life and have to pump every day. A cow that births a calf doesn't need to produce milk once that calf is weaned. Milking a cow in a dairy farm…

What? No. Plants > Cows > People Plants > People That is less food because the cows (or pigs or chicken) aren't eating any plants - you are cutting out the middle man essentially. And, if people aren't breeding animals then there would be LESS animals as the population is artificially inflated in order to provide food for…

This is false. Or, at least not completely true. B12 is found in soil/dirt. Because animals eat plants that grow in dirt, they absorb the B12 and then pass it on to people who eat the animals. People *used* to get plenty of B12 just from eating fruit and vegetables. The soil was full of B12 and some of that transferred to…

Most days the only make-up I wear is some eye make-up. A swipe of eyeliner, some neutral shadow, and a bit of mascara. I don't generally wear "face" make-up like foundation or powder unless we're going out. I think I look weird with too much make-up! Haha!

Definitely let us know what you come up with! Maybe you can patent it and make a MILLION dollars!

Can you buy a separate mat and store it at your yoga studio? That's what I'd do! :D

Panang Curry with Tofu from the Thai place by my house. So flipping good!

Yes, but be careful. Just because the ingredients aren't tested on animals, doesn't mean they don't contain animal products! There is beeswax in quite a lot of make up and for some vegans that can be an issue. I've had very good luck e-mailing companies if I am not sure. They usually get back to you in a week or so.
