I tried that first when I went vegan, and it's not that bad. Personally though, I didn't like it. I felt it was too personally restrictive, because I found myself obsessing over how much fat to eat. The one lesson I took from it was to limit oils (For the most part) but now I enjoy tons of high fat plant food, as long as…

Use bananas or applesauce instead of butter/egg/oil. They help a lot with cutting calories! Also I use stevia and I find the flavor complements a lot of recipes.

If you roast chickpeas in the oven, then they end up with a nuttier texture. It's very good!

I juice once or twice every day and eat 3 home cooked meals a day for about 35$ a week ( also a broke college student) Stick with the cheap things, romaine, broccoli stems are cheap. Apples, lemons, and whatever is on sale work well too. Cucumbers and celery should almost always be your base. We are friends and my diary is…

I second what they said. Only eliminate if you have a disease or if it's a trigger food. For me I can't have it because I have a disease that gluten makes worse, but if I can find a good gluten free bread, it's game on!

Great! Just still watch your calories.

For me I used to shave religiously (every day, sometimes twice a day) but when I started dating my new boyfriend, he said it didn't matter to him one bit if I shaved or not, as long as I still bathed properly. :) So now I shave whenever it gets fuzzy, but stuble doesn't bother me. I probably shave my legs every week or…

I don't know if you've seen the documentary food matters, but they do talk about depression a bit, and one of the more natural doctors actually had a patient he treated with niacin, and it helped their depressing so much! He said that eating two palm fulls of raw cashews a day supposedly is as effective in treating…

ashleysgreenlife.com is a great resources. She's a vegan mama of two, and blogs about recipes, about raising vegan kids, and about both of her vegan pregnancies. Congrats and best of luck!

Chia seeds, flax seeds, flax oil, cold pressed olive oil, e3live supplements, also some supplements that get omega 3s from algae instead of fish. Plenty of choices, you just have to pick one. Best of luck with your new, amazing journey!

I adore juicing! I try to drink a two cup drink twice a day!! Some of the best resourced I've found are http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/ and http://kriscarr.com/ Kris is a juice head, and while some of the stuff she says is out there, a lot of it is really good. She has recipes and advice. Her daily green juice is amazing!

I have dealt with painful mouth ulcers for years now, and most of them happened in my vegetarian years before I supplemented. Now, I take about twice the rda, and I haven't had an issue in a while. I would still check with your doctor, but the supplements can't hurt.

I have an open diary and I'd love plenty of new friends! Thank you

Fourth for happy herbivore. It's a pretty awesome site.

Mine is pretty simple too. Oatmeal and fruit, and a green juice for breakfast. Green juice again as a snack. Lunch is normally a salad. And dinner is normally rice and beans, or rice and broccoli. I do sometimes get creative and make a tofu scramble, or potato soup.

Seasoned vegetarian for four years, vegan for nearly one. Feel free to add me if you want some daily support.

Hello! I've been vegan for almost a year now. I'd love some friends, and my diary is open

Hi! I'm 5'2, 170, and want to lose fifty pounds. Feel free to add me!

Most people say to add the 30ds to your diary is to log it as 20 minutes of circuit training.

Oh! Do I have some suggestions for you! I'm a full time worker and college student, so quick is my middle name. :) Some great options, green smoothies, bean burritos, salads, tomato and avocado sandwiches (Just trust me on that one, it's fantastic), pasta, chia seed pudding, soups made in a slow cooker, baked potatoes, and…

Vegan and gluten free due to a disease I have. I'd love plenty of friends for support!

If it's natural fruit sugar and you aren't diabetic, I wouldn't worry about going over in sugar. However, if it is processed sugars, then I would be a tad concerned. If you have a desire to eat more, you can always use nuts. High in calorie, high in nutrients, and most have good protein levels.

I don't think it's a huge issue, but I would try very hard to meet the goal. A cup of milk, bread, or something small like what the other poster suggested would be a good idea. I'd be concerned with not eating enough calories eventually taking a toll on your body. However, ultimately it's up to you. Best of luck with your…

Also, kale is great for you in large doses. I have a very veggie heavy diet and eat several cups of kale a day some days (I rotate my green veggies) and have never had an issue.

It sounds to me like you have a stomach bug. However, if you aren't used to high fiber veggies, especially veggies like Kale, it can cause some issues until your body is used to them.

Thank you so much. Best of luck to you as well!

If you are still looking for some friends, feel free to add me! I have about fifty pounds to lose, maybe more.

Although I am brand new to MFP, I have always had a way to combat with cravings. My secret is peanut butter. I make my own home made, and eat a tablespoon whenever I get serious cravings.

My goal is about 1340, but you are all welcome to add me! I'd love support. :)
