If it is a manufactured product, there is likely a website with the information from the company, I personally love Gardein products, they have all the nutrition info on the package. Some restaurants actually purchase their fake meats from the same companies that make grocery products, so if it is something that you can…

I really hope I can handle these shakes, lol, I am hearing mixed reviews about the taste. I also hear that "Sun Warrior" makes good vegan shakes, but I haven't found them in my area yet. :frown: :heart: Ketsy :heart: , Vegan x 5 Weeks And Loving It! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Created by…

Ohhhh Chocolate is wonderful... I have to be careful though, too much in the house and I eat it all! Another good source of Iron is Blackstrap Molasses, but I have to figure out how to use it, since I am not such a fan of the dark malty flavors. Juicing is great for me, the fiber is out of the equation, so no bowel…

I just bought a tub of the Vanilla VegaOne Nutritional Shake today, as my doctor wants me to aim for 100g of protein per day for weight loss (based on my current weight and the amount I still have to lose till I can have surgery on my bad gut). I was struggling to even get 80g of protein from dietary sources alone even…

Hey Kiddo :flowerforyou: , It really depends on what your eating, and drinking, maybe something is irritating you bladder, or you may have a UTI. Make sure you aren't over doing the water, that is as bad as under hydrating. You will dilute your food nutrients, and may lose some electrolytes you need. Some foods are natural…

I love your revised version, and it is very practical. Thank you for sharing. :D :heart: Please Add ME To Your Friends Support Team, I am looking for like minded individuals who are at the beginning, middle, or near goal in their journey to help me stay motivated and positive.

I find the days that I juice a meal or two are always so much nicer, I feel lighter and more energetic. I try to juice every day, depending on what's in my fridge, and I often make double batches so I have something for a snack or for breakfast the next day. As long as I use it withing 12-18 hours of being juiced, and…

I have Breville juicer, I got it when my Dad gave up on his juice diet. I costs about $200.00 Canadian, and there is no way I could have bought it if I had to. But it is great, relatively easy to clean, and the pulp is dry, so very little if any juice is wasted. I can juice almost anything, but I don't put in Bananas,…

That's what it's all about! It's amazing how few doctors will recommend the things you are doing, yet they see the effects themselves. Well done and keep up the great work! :D :heart: Please Add ME To Your Friends Support Team, I am looking for like minded individuals who are at the beginning, middle, or near goal in their…

Hmmm, I wonder if all the land dedicated to growing corn and cattle, all that agribusiness land housing crates of chickens in the dark and pigs in standing cages, all the land and water dedicated to grow a 2,000 lb cow could, just maybe, be used to grow Quinoa, Non-GMO Soy, and other vegan super foods right in the United…

From all I have read, typical healthy female Protein requirements in a vegan diet are somewhere between 30-80g depending on how active you are. This is from the Skinny B**** book and a few others I have looked at. Not sure what that is as a percentage.

Wow, I never thought about pineapple, it is my favorite fruit by far. I think it depends on where you live and what's in season. It is winter here in Canada, and so root veggies and greenhouse grown items are the most available in the organic sections. I want to be as much a locavore as possible... buying things that come…

Hi, I'm Ketsy I also watched Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead and found it really thought provoking, so much so that I told my dad to watch it and he went out and got himself a great Juicer. Long story short, he gave up after less than a week I inherited the awesome Breville that he bought. I read Skinny *****, and have been…

You look amazing, you must feel even better. Such an inspiration!

I am over 400lbs (not exactly sure by how much, need to get weighed by a specialist) and just one week into my journey. I would be happy to have someone with a similar journey ahead to support and share with. :heart: Please Add ME To Your Friends Support Team, I am looking for like minded individuals who are at the…

I count bottled or filtered tap water, even unfiltered municipal water, but I also count any herbal tea I brew (without sweetener or sugar) as water, since it is calorie free and has no caffeine or nutritional value. (I am thinking of Camomile, Mint, or any other Herbal Blends) Watch out for green tea, which is a…

I really want to see this film, but I can't find a copy on Netflix Canada or YouTube, and I am not sure if buying the DVD is worth it or not. What are your thoughts? I have already opted to go full Vegan (Based on my compassion, my health state, and a lot of reading and documentaries viewed.) How did you find the movie and…

New to this group but definitely going to be Vegan forever. I am new to the vegan lifestyle and still trying to find good places to shop, great recipes to make, and good books to read. Any suggestions would be fabulous. I am also looking for friends for my support network and would love to add you. :heart: Please Add ME To…

Last night I made my own recipe for "Chili con Kindness" and when I served it up to my non-vegan brother he said, "This is fricken awesome. My first vegan meal and it is the best chili I have ever had!" After a hearty bowl myself, I had to agree, everything tasted so good, and it took me just a few minutes of prep and then…

I am a brand new vegan but feel better after a week then I have in years of trying all those other 'diets'. For me this is about a compassionate lifestyle, and taking care of myself is part of that. 2013 is going to be the best year for me yet! :heart: Please Add ME To Your Friends Support Team, I am looking for like…

Sending you a request. I am newly vegan, and have never felt better... would love to have you among my friends! :happy: :heart: Please Add ME To Your Friends Support Team, I am looking for like minded individuals who are at the beginning, middle, or near goal in their journey to help me stay motivated and positive.

I have been Vegan for a very short time, and once a family member hears they either get all defensive about their own choices, or tell me they don't want to hear about it. Here are some of the choice things I have heard so far: "But Kosher meat is different, it is killed in the most humane way, that's part of the rules" [I…

I would agree, green tea is different in my mind then a double espresso, and I don't even think a cup of organic tea that naturally contains a bit of caffeine should be a problem. I think their point was mainly, if you need caffeine to wake up and make it through the day, then you should cut down and then cut it out. If…

I will definitely look this one up, so glad I have my Kindle, it makes book impulse buying guilt free (if but briefly LOL)

I am making the choice for a variety of reasons, one of the being compassion, so it's not just me trying a new trendy diet. I will not likely be eating much raw fibrous veg, so I think I should do OK. I will mostly juice the majority of my veggies unless they are steamed very very well in small amounts. I have had anemia…

The fastest I ever lost weight was 50 pounds in 2 months. I was focused on a goal for my sisters wedding. I went from 252 to 202 pounds by eating six small mostly vegetarian meals a day including two meals of a diet "shake" (1,200 calories or less per day), and working out 2 hours every single day. I would do cardio and…

Hello All, I am a brand new Vegan, a baby vegan as it were, and I have made this decision based on my current state of poor health, and the fact that I can no longer ignore the benefits of a vegan diet, but also the downfalls of not choosing to change the way I eat and treat my body and the environment. I am 40 years old,…
