I need some simple recipes for some filling dinners (it would be for both me and my dad to eat, so I want it to be moderately filling since he's a big guy and a marathon runner). The only thing is...
It's very embarrassing for me, but I'm having a lot of problems with bloating and gas. It's hard during school for obvious reasons. I've actually had problems like this on and off for over a year,...
I've gained about 10 pounds over the last couple of years and I've been trying to lose it for a while. Recently, I've pretty much dropped all sweets from my diet and I've been running at least twice...
There is this one cereal called Clifford Crunch, which is an organic cereal made by Cascadian Farms. Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/Cascadian-Farms-Organic-Clifford-13-75-Ounce/dp/B000FH2XP8...
I know some people don't think that soy protein isolate is healthy, but I can't figure out why? What's wrong with soy protein isolate?
Make sure to get enough iodine. I really like the book "Becoming Vegan". It has a lot of health information and is just a really good book on veganism.
I use Dr. Fuhrman DHA purity: http://www.drfuhrman.com/shop/DHA.aspx
I use this because I have a lot of difficulty swallowing pills. It's expensive, which is why I want it to last as long as...
I was just talking with my dad, who seems to be rather interested in nutrition, is a doctor, and has read a lot of medical literature, and he says that he only takes fish oil supplements once or...
I just ran across this and thought it was very interesting: http://pubs.acs.org/cgi-bin/abstract.cgi/jafcau/1999/47/i06/abs/jf981065c.html

I read this link, and found it troubling-http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~lhom/organictext.html. If organic farms use pesticides, what's the point of buying organic instead of conventionally grown food?
You didn't hurt my feelings! I just get a little angry at my parents every now and then for adding flourine to my baby bottles. Not much I can do now. I'm not really ill, I just have stained teeth...
That's not true. I usually end up eating too much protein every day. Beans, nuts, grains, and seeds all have a lot of protein. Even fruits and vegetables have a little bit of protein.
I thought that link was interesting, but I hate reading about the ill effects of too much flouride since I have mild flourosis (my parents put flouride in my bottles when I was a baby because my...
Sandra, that actually sounds pretty normal. A lot of people get a little dizzy if they have been laying down for a while and get up really fast. I think it's because there isn't a lot blood in your...
What's wrong with gluten?
Thanks for the advice! I thought that fat from nuts was good, as well as flax seed of course. I'm going to try adding a lot more vegetables and maybe some more fruit. I love chocolate, but I guess I...
I went onto this site http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov/ to check how I was eating. This is an example of a normal day: breakfast-cereal, flax seed, almond milk, banana
lunch: peanut butter sandwich,...
I forgot to add this: Today I asked my mom to buy me some rye and pumpernickel bread. I was disappointed.The main ingredient was white flour.Is all rye and pumpernickel bread like this?
I'm having trouble finding a good brand of vegan whole grain bread that I can find at my normal grocery store and isn't too expensive. Does anyone know of any good brands?
Are B12 megadoses (like in those b12 lozenges with 1 mg) safe to use for an extended period of time?
I was on a different message board having a disagreement with this other person. He was condemning the vegan/vegetarian diet because animals are killed to harvest food, particularly "pest" animals,...
Thanks for the replies. I tried to find the article again, but I couldn't find it. I didn't think it was true, but I just wanted to be sure.
I was reading some articles online about cooking vegetables, and I read one article stating that uncooked vegetables such as spinach and lettuce have no nutritional value besides fiber without being...
How can I make sure that I get good amounts of zinc in my diet without a multivitamin?
Thanks! Unforunately, it doesn't seem like anyone knows the answer.
This is kind of a weird question, but I was thinking about it the other day. Should I wash seeds (like flax seeds and such) that I buy from the store? I've never washed them before, but I don't think...
I was wondering, from what I understand, most organic produce is grown using manure, and manure usually has vitamin B12 in it, so wouldn't organically grown food have B12 in it?
I've been trying to find a good, vegan, chewable (I can't swallow pills for the life of me) multivitamin. I found...
I have a question about omega-3's: I've taken flaxseed for over a year now, and I heard that your body possibly makes DHA from ALA after taking ALA for a while, but recently I started taking a DHA...
