No way. Eating a dead carcass is nothing your missing out on.

Love the chicken cutlets and turkey roast. Texture is the best I've tried in meat free replacements

Love beyond meat! They have recipes o n their website that are helpful as well. Also gardein and quorn. Quorn chicken cutlets and turkey roast are amazing

Have you tried Quorn products? Their chick'n cutlets are amazing! Easy to chop and put in wraps, salads, etc. The Turk'y roast is yummy too. Ugly, but delicious. And the protein is derived from mushroom protein, so its not soy based.

There is an Instagram page, traderjoesvegan that posts vegan finds at trader Joe's. She's very helpful!

Wow you look like a completely new person! Beautiful! And you look ten years younger in the after pics! ;)

great job! You look awesome!!!

hehe.. thats awesome...my strange nether region one was when I noticed my "long butt crack" I developed from sitting on my butt at a desk all day ( result from the flat wide butt that develops with a desk job....) was back to a rounder firmer higher butt, no more long butt crack...LOL

I lost 20 lbs before joining mfp, and my boobs shrunk a LOT, from a large c to an empty looking b. I got a lift and implants to bring me up to a d, and I hae never felt better about myself. Some people may think its shallow, but it was something that was killing my self esteem and now I feel happy with myself, I love them…

Awww!! I am glad I saw this message board topic on the side of my screen... I feel so much better knowing all of you are going thru the same thing. I was upset when I fond out I had it, still am, but kind of relieved because now I know WHY I have had some of these issues and what to do about them....

I went vegetarian when I was 16 (16 years ago!) and 4 years ago began eating some fish here and there... Maybe I will try what you are doing. The caffeine thing and the fake sugar thing is going to be tough because I LOVE coffee.. and I put splenda in a lot even though I have heard all the negative things about it... lol.…

Are you counting carbs from fruits/veggies in that? I'm just starting the lower carb thing and I cut out pasta, bread, rice etc but I am still seeing carbs from fruits and veggies adding up....

Thank you :) Its a shame it took this many years for someone to figure out what was going on. When I was 16 I told my dr I had not yet had regular periods every month, and I started when I was 12. They put me on bc and said that would fix the issue. Now I wonder if this was the problem all along. Even this time around I…

Thank you for posting on this.... I was just diagnosed 2 weeks ago with PCOS, and I don't know where to begin... I have a follow up appointment and ultrasound this week to get more details. I have been on birth control pills since HS, up until aa year ago and I think that masked it. In the past year, dispite eating…

I also think it may be soy free... or lower soy. Has pea protein etc in it

Spiru-tein is vegan and gluten free!! they also have an unsweetened version if you prefer to add your own sweeeteners. Just make sure you add enough liquid, because it turns out pretty thick compared to whey proteins I have used... that is the only thing I don't like about it.

but do you think the guys on here are being 100% honest or just being supportive or saying what they think we wanna hear out of fear of a bunch of angry women coming at them? LOL

ugh, gross, I HATE the word "thick". Someone referred to me as "kinda thick" before, and I was so offended. It makes me think of something wide, and I don't think anyone wants to be described as wide...lol. Plus it sounds so ghetto and unintelligent. Voluptuous is a much nicer sounding word, I can deal with that ;)

try Mio r using 1/2 the crystal light it says to use... just enough to give the water some flavor. Your body will get used to it and begin to like water :)

I have tried Bio Oil on other scars as well, it does not work as well as the Palmers (for me anyway), it is twice as much, and it can cause allergic reaction in some ppl...

I had a nasty oven burn on my arm, used neosporin and kept it bandaged until it was FULLY healled, then rubbed Palmers Skin Therapy Oil on it 3 x a day, it is barely visible. This process took only about a month :)

The middle of this brought a tear to my eye. I used to binge like that too when I was younger, be so stuffed I could barely breathe, and be so uncmfortable... then I found out how to make myself throw up, thank god I found it unpleasant enough that I had a difficult time keeping it up. I hope when I have children, I never…

LMAO! I do this all the time!

are you eating enough? Sounds weird but this happened to me when I was working out an hour and a half a day and not eating even close to my calorie goal. Started eating closer to my calorie goal like someone suggested, and i lost that 3 lbsI gained in a week, and continued losing.

Philly Swirl has some good low cal no sugar added treats, they have a 14 (yes FOURTEEN) calorie "creamsicle" its a smaller size, but hey you can have 2 for just 14 cals a piece! They have raspberry, strawberry, or orange swirled with vanilla. I found them at Walmart! They are called Sweet Delites and are sugar, fat, and…

My current BF is Horrible at buying gifts. I got a dish drying rack for my bday, he did include a bottle of my fav kind of wine, but it was a lower priced one. I got him an electronic SkyCaddy for his a few months later. For Xmas I got him a new iPod sice he was saying he never had one and it would be nice to have one for…

OMG I am laughing so hard I'm crying!!!

I don't think blood type has anything to do with eating meat, the headaches are probably just from changing your diet. I was a vegetarian for 14 yrs, have been a pescatarian (I allow myself fish occasionally now) for 2.... A lot of ppl start a vegetarian diet and base their diet on pasta and rice etc... just because you…

LOL... I had a bit of a bad day yesterday as well... it happens.

EAT BACK THE MAJORITY OF THEM OR YOU WILL NOT LOSE ANY MORE WEIGHT!!!! I know this from experience!! This was the only thing that helped me start losing again...I was working my butt off, burning almost 1000 cal a day, but nothing. Even gained 2 back. Until I took everyones suggestion and started eating those calories…
