    How are your activity levels and water consumption? These can have a big effect on digestive function. If you think you're not eating enough fat, maybe try eating some avocado or nuts every day. You...

    Re: Diet and mental health

    Just from personal experience I've found that too much sugar or caffeine, or not enough fruits and veggies will have a really negative impact on my mood. Pretty much what others have said. Ground...

    Re: 70% Cocoa Chocolate

    http://www.chocolatetradingco.com/buy/99-dark-chocolate-chips?by=cat&c=795&o=2&pz=10&p=1

    Mostly I eat these. Hotel Chocolat sells a 100% chocolate which is really good, though it's very expensive.

    Re: 70% Cocoa Chocolate

    ^ I just googled it and apparently 61% of the fat in chocolate is saturated and 57% of that is stearic acid which converts to unsaturated fat in the body after consumption.

    Re: 70% Cocoa Chocolate

    I would consider limited quantities of dark chocolate to be healthy, but I eat 90%-100% cocoa chocolate so there's very little sugar. I agree that the less sugar the better in terms of health, but I...
  7. Re: Have you ever eaten meat in your dreams since going vegan?

    I used to have them a lot more but now if I have a nightmare centred around meat, it's usually of having to watch animals being slaughtered and not being able to do anything while getting splattered...

    Re: Vegan Weight Loss and Muscle Building?

    What works best for me to gain muscle is to weight-lift every other day and to eat more protein on the days off (when muscles are recovering and building) and to eat more carbs on days when I'm...

    Sorry, I should have been clearer. I didn't mean overwhelming emotions, I meant overwhelmed as an emotion in its own right. What I mean is that feeling of suffocation and anxiety thinking about the...

    Re: Happiness, unhappiness, suicide ..

    I think it's often when people feel overwhelmed by life that they can feel suicidal. I'm not sure that non-humans feel overwhelmed. On the whole, I think other animals are a lot more sensible and...

    ^^
    I'm actually an aspiring chef, but I specialise in desserts mostly, although I go on a savoury kick from time to time. I'm pretty much obsessed with cakes and ice-creams, though.

    I've never tried making buttermilk, but for pastry sticking margarine in the freezer for a bit and having really cold hands helps a lot.

    Margarine and shortening are completely different. The fat content of shortening is much higher because there is a higher water content in margarine. Shortening would work a lot better in pastry and...
