Eating Vegan on a Cruise
(I also posted this in HH) Hey Everyone! My husband and I just got back from a 7 day cruise on Disney Cruise Line. We searched and searched the web for months trying to find a vegan friendly cruise line, but really couldn't find any answers (besides the Holistic cruise). We ended up booking Disney because we are really…

Resources to Help MIL eat vegan!
Hey everyone, My husband has recently decided to become vegan (victory!) and now my mother-in-law is asking for our help so she can start eating more vegan food. The issue is that we live 7 hours away so I can't exactly cook for her or show her what to buy at the grocery store. Does anyone know any great blogs/websites to…

Vegans in the Army/ Military
Hello MFP world, I am hoping that I am not the only vegan person in the military on this site... anyone else? Please friend me :) I would love to chat/ get some tips. Perhaps, if you don't want to friend me, you may want to join the group Happy Herbivores (I have found the members to be extremely helpful in my vegan…

Post Marathon Eating!
I ran my second full marathon this Sunday with my best friend. It was her first so I ran at her pace, which was honestly extremely easy for me. Don't get me wrong, 26.2 miles is still 26.2 miles no matter how slow or fast you run! I am pretty sore! Anyway, I just wanted to see if there are any other marathoners on here and…

Only two months until I see my husband again...
My hubby has been in Afghanistan since December and he comes home in two months (yay! finally!). I've lost about 30 of the 35 lbs I've lost total since he's been gone and I'm REALLY close to my goal (9 lbs away). The problem is that the closer I get to my goal and the slower the weight comes off, the more I eat. I'm not…

What to do with non-vegan pantry items...
I've been 100% vegan for a little while and started vegetarian intending to be vegan in March. I have a lot of non-vegan things left in my pantry... it feels more wasteful and inhumane to just throw these items away, but I'm not about to eat them just because they're in my house. What has everyone else done with their…

Am I the only one who is repulsed by fast food?
Seriously... anyone else? Arby's, Mcd's, Burger King (especially), Wendy's, Taco Bell, you name it! It all makes me (physically) sick to my stomach. That and I don't find it appealing, even if it didn't make me feel ill. I can't possibly be alone here.

Going 100% Vegan
For the past few months I've been eating about 99% vegan. Not so much living a vegan lifestyle but trying to eat vegan as much as possible. Yesterday that changed for me. I'm very excited and slightly nervous to say that I have decided to live a full vegan lifestyle. That being said, does anyone have any good…

Eating too much... but under calories?
Before I get started: This is not another "Oooooh there's no way I can eat 1200 calories a day! That is just sooo much food". I eat. Promise. So I have been doing this MFP thing since January-ish and it's worked fabulously so far. I've been at 1500 calories +exercise since Feb/March-ish and I have always eaten back most,…

I need some advice from crossfitters!
Okay, first a little background: I am a distance runner. I run about 40-50 miles every week. I eat at a small defecit and I lose about .5 to 1 lb per week. At this point, I am fairly happy with my size I just want to reduce my body fat percentage. There is a free crossfit gym on post and my Commander and I are going to…

Eating back high exercise calories...
I run about 40-50 miles per week, strength training 2-4 times per week, and sometimes I burn up to 6000 calories a week. My question is: does anyone on here with high calorie burns eat all of the calories back? My net is set to 1500 cals per day so, for example, when I run 18 miles my diary allows me 3500 calories in one…

Nutritional Yeast!
Hi all! I am currently transitioning into a vegan diet, I'm at about 95% vegan foods, I pretty much only have dairy/eggs if I go out, if someone else cooks for me (which is very rarely), or if I don't yet have a vegan recipe for that particular item. I'm working on it! Anyway, I have found so many recipes that require…

How do you avoid boredom eating?
So here I am, on 24 hour staff duty... bored out of my mind. My biggest downfall has always been eating out of boredom and that's all I can think about right now! (ps, I'm only 4 hours in).

Can't spot reduce fat...
I'm at a weight and size that I'm content with (...I'm wearing a 2/4), the only issue is that I'm not happy with the current physique of my stomach. I still have a decent amount of actual stomach fat and I really just want to tone it. I'm guessing since you can't spot reduce fat that the only way to fix it is to continue…

Size TWO NSV!
About a month ago I bought a pair of pants in a size 2...(long story short, they didn't have my size and they were on sale, so I bought the only size they had left with intentions of exchanging them for the proper size later). I tried them on for shi*ts and giggles and they ALMOST fit, so I decided to keep them. Well, I…

Fiber?
I've been eating a plant based whole food diet (about 97% vegan) for almost a week (not long, I know!) and I already feel better, my fat intake has gone way down, my protein intake is high, but my fiber is waaaaay high. As a result, I've become bloated and a tad gassy (ew, I know!). Will this go away as my body gets used…

Husband who hates healthy food!
My husband has been deployed for 3 months now. After he left, I cut out processed foods. Then I started eating all organic, upped my vegetable intake, and cut down on meat. Now I've cut out all meat and dairy. I feel amazingly healthy and I've lost 27 lbs so far. This is something I want to keep up long term, for life, I…
