  • Sorry you are going through this, my experiences have been nothing like it. I do find eating out with new people a pain as they will always ask why I'm vegan why don't I eat whatever it is on the table that I am not eating. After I explain it they will then say 'sheesh stop preaching about being vegan, I love steak you are…
  • I tried Bokwa and didn't like it, but then I didn't like Zumba, the only way you'll know is by trying and forget what other people have said. I assume your zumba shoes are just normal dance shoes? I assume they're absolutely fine for Bokwa. Enjoy!
  • I use Pulsin pea protein, actually didn't know it was available at Holland and Barret so that's good to know. Like someone else said it only really works in savory and even then you have to be aware it will give things a bit of a creamy look to it. Its perfect in soups and stews, I put it in a lentil mix for a veggie…
  • hmm, I'm not sure I would like to spend half an hour hanging out washing just so I can have a few more steps.
  • I don't really love it in smoothies, I put it last night in my split-pea stew, it mash, soup etc.
  • Are you going to the gym when you lift? Can't you do the c25k on the treadmill with an incline? I know its not quite the same as outside, but you could do your running then some weights while you are at the gym, surely you have enough time for that? Or park up at the gym then run from there and run back for your weights. I…
  • I was thinking that too! I was hoping someone would have an amazing low-carb diary. Not that I'm looking for low-carb, just lowering my carb as its crazy high right now.
  • Can I ask how long you have been vegan? I was looking a bit more at your diary and I'm actually wondering how you have not yet been ill! Not to put too fine a point on it, I would be on the toilet all the time with this diet, and you are severely under nourishing yourself. Try looking at some of Brenden Brazier's books, he…
  • I've also had a quick look at your diary and you are eating a lot of fruit and veg without much protein, aren't you getting crazy stomach ache? Do you want to have a look at my diary? I'm not without a bit of chocolate and things here and there, but I'd say I'm good 90% of the time. I do have a rule though that I will eat…
  • I'm not sure I understand, you think you are getting flabby because you think you are eating too much fruit so the answer is to give up on veganism? Couldn't you just reduce your fruit and see if you get less flabby? not sure the relationship between veganism and too much fruit.
  • I have to disagree with a lot of what is being said here. Yes protein is in everything, but exactly as the OP has said you would have to eat a lot of these alternatives to make up for one portion of meat. That is just fact, the meat is more efficient gram for gram for protein, so those of you who do not pay attention, I…
