I am a strict vegan. I eat high-carb/high-fat/low-protein. I lost 10 pounds in July, from 121 to 111, in 25 days by eating 600 to 700 calories per day..I am sedentary so a low-cal diet works fine for me. I have successfully maintained my weight loss for over 2 months. I average a little over 1700 calories/day. I am 61 and…

I began maintenance on July 30, at 111.5 lbs. with clothing. Today, 61 days later, I weigh 111.4 lbs. with clothing. I am thrilled to have pinpointed my maintenance calorie allotment!:bigsmile:

Please I need to know how you determine from reading the labels whether the minerals and vitamins used to enrich the cereal are from animal sources. I have only in rare instances been able to find out from product manufacturers whether the additives that enrich their.products are of animal origin. I have been vegan for 43…

I didn't know about the General Mills cereals-- I avoid cereals because I assume the mineral/vitamin enrichments are not vegan-- do they have a list somewhere on their site, or will they e-mail me a list, of their vegan cereals???? Kellogg says none of theirs are vegan.

And is anyone besides me old enough to recall Charlie The Tuna, an animated fish who was featured in a series of Star-Kist commercials, begging to be hooked and killed and canned and devoured? Or the Campbell's soup commercials with a singing animated chicken imploring you to purchase dead bird broth? They had one along…

I oppose euthanasia for ANY reason. Therefore, I hate everyone that euthanizes.

I consume primarily: Original Pringles and Frito-Lay bean dip, microwaved Ore-Ida french fries, diet Pepsi/Coke/Dr.Pepper, Subway veggie footlongs on white bread with tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, cucumber, lettuce, pepper & salt, Minute Rice Ready-To-Serve white rice with microwaved frozen peas or canned lima beans or…

No, I have been vegan for 43 years and STILL crave steak, roast beef, Kraft mac and cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches, cheeseburgers, French toast, brown & serve rolls, white bread and butter, twinkies, cupcakes, sno-balls, suzy Qs, Tastykakes, Little Debbies, honey buns, chocolate malted milk, milk shakes, pancakes, pork…

Minute Rice told me their microwaveable round containers of Ready To Serve white rice are VEGAN..They are 200 calories each. I don't trust Uncle Ben's products because I read that they are some way affiliated wifh some organization that euthanizes animals-- and I know Tofurky is, and I won't purchase Tofurky products for…

PETA is a mass murderer of innocent animals..Their mission is to exterminate all domesticated species into extinction.

I have been ordering from them for MANY years. They're AWESOME.

I hate it when people lump me together with PETA-philes! I HATE PETA!!!!!!!

aedreana here. I am a strict vegan because I oppose the murder of nonhuman creatures for any reason. I despise and detest so-called animal rights organizations such as PETA, SPCA, and Humane Society that euthanize animals. Plz feel free to add me.

I don't think that being a vegan is why I am so healthy. These are what I believe to be the keys to excellent health: 1) I avoid contact with people who are ill. 2) I use a lot of rubbing alcohol to disinfect my hands. 3) I always am careful to clean under my fingernails well. Even so, I never bite my nails. 4) I clean off…

Seems to me, they should be the ones concerned about offending you, with their gelatin-laced beverages and rennet-laden snacks!

Hi! I am on maintenance now. I lost my 10 vanity pounds in July. I am at 111 pounds at 5' 3 1/2;" 35"-27"-33. That 10 lbs. made a HUGE difference!!

Glad to.help! A lot of the products sold by Pangea and Vegan Essentials are also available in stores so, if you ever see those items in a store, you can be sure they are vegan because Vegan Essentials and Pangea have already certified them as vegan. NEVER trust ANYTHING that PETA says! Amy's brand frozen and canned product…

Congratulations on the best decision you will ever make. You are doing the right thing without a doubt. The hard thing about veganism is that most food products contain ingredients of indeterminate origin. You will not be able to tell by reading the label. And some ingredients are not even listed on the label. For example,…

I have been vegan 43 years. I still crave rare steak and rare roast beef. I was big on red meat before I turned vegan. And my favorite part was the fat around the edges of the meat. There is no vegan substitute that satisfies the craving. Nothing even comes close. So I just ignore the craving and accept it as something…

Looks like I can reply.to this thread after all, as it is in a group forum, not the main forums. I lost my 10 vanity pounds, from 121 to 111 (I am 5' 3 1/2") in 25 days by staying under 700 calories, with no exercise.

Sometimes, I find myself cornered. In a tight spot. I might be facing possible eviction, for example, and must plead my case to a judge or, negotiate a deal with the landlord. Without some imaginary deity to pray to, I know that I must be proactive. With no mythical "higher power" to call upon, how do I strategize my best…

Some words are open to interpretation, or clarification. "Vegan" is not such a word. For example: I have blond hair. My hair is ivory-blond with no red in it. NO ONE is ever going to describe my hair as red or brown! However, many shades of blond border on brown or red..And so, one person will describe someone's hair as…

Greetings! aedreana here, brand-new to the group. I have done 400 calories per day diets many times. My most recent diet was 600-700 calories per day; I lost 10 pounds in 25 days, from 121 to 111 (I am 5' 3 1/2.") I have no use for the 1200-calories/one pound per week nonsense! I firmly believe that long slow dieting…

They've called me crazy, accused me of eating disorders-- yet I got cited by the moderators by replying, "we'll see who ends up fatter, me or you." (The moderators must be their *****.) One day, I was voted Worst Post Of The Day, Worst Diary Ever, and was called a troll on not one but two different threads-- all in the…

I just joined this group and hope to hear back from y'all soon! I just successfully completed a 25-day 700 calories/day diet, no exercise, and lost the ten vanity pounds I had gained over the course of five months. Now, I am at my ideal weight of 111 (I am 5' 3 1/2.") I am 61 years old and ALWAYS diet on low calories. Back…

Splenda-sweetened bread-and-butter pickles. And cigarettes.

I just joined this group and hope to hear back from y'all! I am a low-calorie successful dieter (currently maintaining ideal weight) with many, many haterz on MFP because I disagree with their 1200-calories/1 lb. per week weight loss strategy. I've even seen them advocate a half-pound/week weight loss-- also, their "you're…

I just successfully completed a 25-day diet of 700 calories per day. I lost the 10 vanity lbs., which places me @ 111 lbs. (I am 5' 3 1/2.") My goal from here on out is maintaining this weight!

I sincerely hope this group is still active because it is tailor-made for me. I just joined today.I hope that the group members haven't been barred from MFP for discussing successful dieting strategies.

I have done 400 calories per day many times, but it can be tricky. You have to be careful to not exert yourself physically, or you can get lightheaded, shaky, and see black in front of your eyes when you stand up. I have not experienced any of that on 600 to 700 calories per day. It is important to not try to be physically…
