I think your dreams are amazing and you shouldnt give up on them Exceeeeept......i do think that you shouldnt strive for your mum to be proud of you This is a hard fact that i have spent my whole life learning You need to be happy with yourself beyond what your parents think, because whether they are proud of you, or like…

Me - from ye olde Melbourne town

I have no gag reflex Note - this is 100% true and not a joke...was discovered by my doctors when i was in hospital

There is no evidence supporting too much protein being bad for you...studies have even shown that people with kidney disease can be harmed from low protein diets as it does not provide the necessary nutrients to repair the kidney tissue Everyone - look at this video....it will answer the questions! This guy knows what he's…

I am brutally honest with myself to the point where i think i overestimate how much i eat I measure out what i eat on my electronic scales and never eat back any of my exercise calories I eat a lot of protein, i am vegan but i still get heaps of protein from shakes and tofu/bean curd, to the extent of about 70-80g a day I…

Otherwise a good option are things like fortified cereals and milks and other products designed for vegetarians and vegans Most products have the iron levels quite dramatically increased so that it makes it easier for vegetarians. Eg some soy milks provide a third of the iron needs in just one serve, as well as upping…

The best way is to just take a supplement. It will in the end usually work out cheaper anyway and that way you dont have to worry about it and can just focus on foods that are well balanced and delicious If youre aneamic, go for one called FerroGrad-C ... i take it and my blood iron levels are always great! It is the…

Some of the things that ive found helpful in the past were drinking black coffee or a tea like green tea. The warmth especially helps you to feel full and it has essentially no calories...and if you want it to be a bit sweetner use a natural sweetner like stevia which again has pretty much no calories I also used to suck…

I agree...that word alone grants to the right to say whatever u want to them!!! :D

I sugest doing what i do and getting INSIDE the washing machine too! Tis quite a fun ride and makes the time pass really quickly! :P just....maybe not the dryer

Yes, pharmacies sell the hydration ice blocks :)

You need to be having gastrolyte or hydralyte or something similar that contains the electrolytes and energy that your body is losing through the poisoning Drinking flat lemonade to make you feel better is a myth. It will only dehydrate your body causing you to feel more sick - trust me - it is something they highly…

I would love to help...but alas i have already added u :( I could delete u and then add u again if that would help? hahaha :P

Thank you so much! This info is particularly important to me as, for health reasons, ive needed to increase my fat intake and these products seem to be the best way to do so...you have made me feel a lot better :)

Well the label say kJ - which is fine because im n Australia and we use kJ not cal

Sorry, i wasnt meaning to single out asian labels...and i know i can be others...its more just that they are imported is all...and they are the particular ones i am consuming at the moment Very sorry if that sounded like i was being racist or prejudiced towards asain labels :(

I have the pea protein too because of its high digestibility and other health benefits...but yes it is horrible Best thing to do - add Vitarium flavourings to them! They have basically no calories, ar naturally sweetened (using stevia) and taste really really nice! They come in choc, banana, strawberry, and mocha Heres the…

I AM VEGAN!!! And darn proud of it! :D Just bought a t-shirt today that says "Graduate of Vegan Academy 2012 - being vegan just means your better than most people" Best.....shirt.....eva!

Diet pop is full of salt so will make you retain water, thus it will seem like you dont lose weight....if its caffeinated, which im assuming it is, that will be why you are getting headaches when you dont have it. Probs best not to have it, as it does seem to stall weight loss a bit...and it full of crap thats nowhere near…

Thats a bit unfair...she is clearly having a 'real struggle to get to a healthy weight' ... its just coming from the opposite direction :S

Does subway have a nutritional info thingy? Im pretty sure maccas and stuff have to now, so would assume subway would have to too....try googling it maybe?

Is that what you eat every day?

I do not have a gag reflex (discovered while in hospital when i was little) so thus dont really know how it feels or how to overcome it...sorry :S

Hmmmmm so i take it you mean things that you dont have to heat up and stuff? Wrap - with things like salad, beans, tofu, (or meat if you eat it), nice sauce Sandwhich Rice cakes/cruskit type things - load them up with nice toppings or salads of your choice If youre able to take things in a little container, you can always…

Also....just askhem to make it the way you want...i always do...personally i think that i am the one giving them my money so they shoould make it right for me within reason of course...not asking them to change the entire dish or anything....but often i ask them to leave out a certan vegetable or sauce, or to have…

I am vegan too! and have eaten chinese take out....aaannnd strangely enough i am allergic to rice and potatoes so i had almost exactly the same issues as you when looking at the menu! the best thing to aim for is anything that has a bean curd product in it...and then generally things like their stir fries Im not the…

Try going to vegweb.com theres HEAPS of foods on there!

as far as ideas for foods you should have Maybe dont have as much fruit...mainly just because fruit can be sugary (good sugar, so dont worry about it too much) thus u get big highs in energy and then crash, plus they are mainly water so you feel hungry very quickly Aim for high fibre and protein foods - eg wholegrain…

Dont tell her its not healthy! Most of what she eats is fresh fruit and vegetables and wholegrain bread! Where did you get your nutrition degree?? Pretty sure that a muesli bar is totally fine! What should she be eating then???
