No.. The vegan version is much better. As well as the raw vegan. No cholesterol..

You're probably not the only ones. I'm pregnant with #4. But I could never get MFP to adjust to me being pregnant. Don't worry about weight gain while pregnant. As long as you're not eating crazy unhealthy food (that's unhealthy for the baby especially), and really not eating for two (that's a bit too much!), then you're…

1- Don't listen to people and their nastiness. You never know where these words are coming from. Just remember that your body is doing what it intended when you got pregnant. You need the extra padding for that baby. And when the baby is born, just focus on being healthy, and not goingbonkers trying to get fit.…

Do you do any exercise at all? You don't *have* to go to a gym to get fit! You can start by incorporating walking into your daily routine. A good one hour walk every night after dinner. I mean brisk-not leisurely! There are also some great workout videos that you can do at home, that use free weights, cardio.. Either way,…

Really? You have a problem because my children eat a very complex and nutritous diet full of fresh fruits and vegetables, grains, and nuts? Where is the problem? They start their day with fresh juice-usually kale, apple, carrot or beet/carrot/orange or apple. Then they have some oatmeal. Or coconut yogurt sprinkled with…

Also, it's not hard being vegan? How hard can it be to eat fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans? A lot of the world's population eats like this on a daily basis.. It's called real food :)

I don't know why people who aren't even veg are responding? I have been vegan for over 10 years now. I have had 3 children since then (who are also vegan), nursed etc. through it all.. So what if you love the taste of dead animals? Do you love other beings equally? Do you have a dog? Cat? Could you see yourself eating…

Blech. Tap water means that you are drinking someone else's medication/***** control etc. No thanks! And actually, for the person who talked about developing countries, supposedly South Africa has the best water filtering system world wide.

Do you eat nuts or seeds? Lots of protein in them. But, our bodies actually don't need that much protein every day.. Were you told that you needed to up the protein by someone? Is it maybe the iron that you need (are you getting tired every day)? Raw date balls: walnuts, dates, shredded coconut. kale/walnut pesto

Serious? What kind of an answer is this? Do you know there is a TON of protein in vegan options? What do you think of this: http://www.veganbodybuilding.com/ There are a TON of HUGE FIT STRONG vegan athletes. Serena Williams, Georges Laracque, NBA NHL and NFL players. Someone hasn't really done their research.

How about just eliminating the meat? Go strictly raw/vegan. Try to eat TONS of greens during the day. Juice the kale with some apples and carrots. Kale Salad. Collard green wraps. Some nuts/seeds. Why do you have that specific goal? Because your profile pic looks awesomely strong!

Congrats!! No need for supplements because every vegetable and fruit, bean, seed etc. has all the vitamins needed. One great website (ideas for meals) is www.theppk.com

Congrats on all of your hard work! Because it does take lots of work to accomplish what you did :) Superwoman!

I am happy to see more and more men be proud of being veg! I know loads of veg men, but they are specific to a certain spiritual group. Anyways. Yay!

I love to read/hear this :) I can't wait till all 3 of my children say this!! Vegan for 10+ years here. 3 vegan children as well.

What? No it's not. Tell that to some vegan athletes (Brendan Brazier, George Laracques, Arian Foster etc.) as well as those of us who have no problems. And it's not like you have to drown in protein. Animals EAT PLANTS AND GRAINS which is where your nutrients come from when eating animals. Go do some research.

Congrats on thinking of making the change :) Have you ever checked out the website www.theppk.com? THere are a ton of great ideas there, and lots of people on the forum that are around your age/same situation. Do you live at home, on your own, in a residence? Overnights oats is a great way to start your morning. Soak maybe…

ACTUALLY NO you DON'T because that is not what the OP was asking for.. That is called UNSOLICITED ADVICE. Many of the men i know (about 90%) are STRONG vegans and vegetarians.

Heythere. I'm vegan, have been for 10 yeras + now. Ignore the ignorance about veganism/vegeterianism from meat eaters who think they know best..

Completed 30 day shred for today. Starting weight I have no idea!! My scale got soaked by my 3 yr old a month ago, and I have yet to replace it. .

I'm in. I actually started (again) yesterday.. I will post measurements later.

ha ha don't be scared! I was using the diva cup and it was great. After 3 babies, I'm ready to buy the #2 size (for women who have had children). Tampons are scary because most of them have been bleached, and has anyone ever read the warnings for toxic shock syndrome? Yucky and scary!! It takes practice, but in the long…

I love kale!! I juice it with apples and carrots. I eat it raw-slice really thin and add it to thinly sliced cabbage, and make a salad with it. Just marinate in some agave or maple syrup with apple cider vinegar.

Yes well I guess most people just want to put their blinders on. You don't get a heart attack from eating fruits, vegetables, nuts and beans. Only foods that have cholesterol can do that to you..

Thank you!

Mum of 3 (under 5). I used to be a size 6 (before #3). I was running, doing yoga, jillian michael's dvds. Now I walk a lot. It's hard, but we can do it :) I also follow a vegan diet but have realized that I haven't been eating tons of veggies like before. Being so busy with 3 makes it difficult to always eat well..

I have no idea about the pasta you're talking about :) But, I love my gf pasta. No wheat belly bloat!! And so much healthier. Spelt is better for you than whole wheat and white. Sprouted grain is great :) I buy sprouted grain tortillas and they're delicious. Health benefits, well like spelt, much better for you. Not…

Cheese, well dairy, is not good for your system. It causes a lot of constipation, which in turn can lead to rectal cancer in men. Cow's have 4 (?) stomachs vs our 1, which itself shows us that we cannot digest cow's milk like a calf (who the milk is meant for). Human milk for human babies, animal milk is for animal…

Congrats!! And what's most important is that you've been learning about healthy eating! That is what is so important. If you're interested in learning about a vegan diet, write me. I know so many health issues that have been resolved by going vegan or raw. Good luck!! Keep on the healthy track!!
