i went vegan for a month,thinking it would help my stomach

pricy...just have alfalfa sprouts on bread with a dab of
mustard, youd be surprsied.

well, i'm trying to lose a lot of weight in the the next
month, and i was going to eat, mostly only raw foods
anyways, so i figured, why not give it a try... it's been
something i've wanted to do for a while now anyways.

have chips lying around

I lost about 10 pounds i believe, hardly got dizzzy

my strategy was to make myself full off the lightest foods
possible...if that makes sense...have lots and lots ov
celery, carrots...and hummus!!! mmm...my new favorite love.

well... tonight i'm going to write down a huge list of foods
that i can eat, then it will get easier... it's just gonna
suck having to read the backs of things to see if it has any
dairy or what ever products.
my friend has been vegan for a year now, and she still has
some trouble with it.

ah, understood...if you have organic places, its a lot
easier...and usually the owners are old hippies who are
really helpful with informing you ov the contents.

I have a chart you may be interested in tragedy, it lists
all the foods you can eat and how to combine them to help
you loose weight and gain as much energy as possible from
your food,

Would you like me to email it to you?

Where I live, near campus, there isn't much selection
besides this mom & pops grocery store. Every now and then
they carry Morning Star stuff (e.g. soy "fake meat"
products). When I want to feel especially healthy I get some
soy milk. Also, Thai food with tofu is divine.

I think Soy milk tastes great, I didn't think much of tofu
when i tried it though.

Tragedy, i'll send the chart off shortly, I need to scan it
first.

i was skinnier when i ate veganic, but i don't think i got
enough 'good fats' and also i have a very low blood pressure
and blood iron levels. there are some things such as protein
gain and vitamin b12 that you must be extra-careful about.

nowadays i excercise alot more, so i have taken egg and
cheese back to my menu to ensure protein gain!

but i learned to cook good food, and nowadays most of what i
cook is still veganic

hahha!

..about the same as if all the pigs were running free...

Meat is good for you.. humans are (mainly (there has always
been stuff to accompany the meat, and in times of hunger and
need, we could eat different roots and berries)) carnivores,
not (pure) vegetarians...

there wouldn't be so many pigs if they were just running
around ;)

i wouldn't want to get into this now, but with the
production cycle so messed up it isn't natural to eat meat
anymore.

It's all about setting your own limits. I will eat anything
that is put in front of me, but by choice I eat very little
meat. The meat that I do eat is top notch organic free range
stuff from my local butcher. I costs about twice as much as
normal supermarket stuff but at least you know that is for a
reason.

I've yet to see a healthy (and by that I mean physically
fit, with good stamina and who could survive up the
mountains for a few days) vegan. I think the fact that you
have to take vitamin supplements, etc. demonstrates how
unnatural it is and that it would not of been a viable form
of diet 100 years ago.

There is literally no way at all you could survive in a cold
climate without either: modern food processing technology
or meat.
