so i'm going vegan for the next 2 weeks, to try it out, see if i can do it, so how i feel... was/is anyone here vegan? any tips or stories? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know i wouldn't last a day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i went vegan for a month,thinking it would help my stomach problems...its not hard at all, cept vegan food as often pricy...just have alfalfa sprouts on bread with a dab of mustard, youd be surprsied. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can i be one of those annyoing people that just posts saying "No"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gir> did you lose any weight? feel more/less energy? get pale? dizzy? haha, gimme some info. |
||||||||

|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh and what was your diet like before hand? were you a vegetarian? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, i would say a very unhealhty diet, lots ov meat, always have chips lying around I lost about 10 pounds i believe, hardly got dizzzy i became sleepy more often. 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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i should get back to being a veggie tarian though...a girl im going to live with in michigan for a tad is one....ah, its so much easier to live the diet when your entire household does. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when you stopped being vegan did you get sick from eating meat again? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not at all....i was fine i think...i wouldnt feast out on burgers though...have a little bit at a time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

|
|
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 hung out with some vegans at University. Buy lots of hummus and pita bread. Its good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah definately soy milk. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gir> you definately should. my only problem is that i'm quite anemic... which i guess i could just take double dose of iron supplements every day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm...isnt V8 rich in iron? you could try that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm a vegetarian. I take vitamins for my body and Celebrex for my bad knee. I try to eat as much soy as humanly possible. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Freak. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

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 |

why would anyone want to NOT eat meat? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
meat pollutes. think about the amount of piss and shit an industrial piggery makes ... . . . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No (you saw that coming, didnt you? it couldnt be any more predictable than that....but hey, you were asking for it) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |
||||||||

Must feed on animals. |

sounds really reasonable. my bf has promised to fish me a fish during summer :) |
||||||||

Yeah, that too is amazing insist he does. Friends of mine have a place in Sardinia, we go fishing most days and eat the catch on the BBQ in the evening. Lush. |

i was hardcore vegan for 3 years.. i liked it for the time being. |
||||||||

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. |
