I am currently following the McDougall diet so most of my meals come from that. I tend to plan out meals I want to make in the week and pick meals that share a lot of the same ingredients. Most are...
Hi Lolly! Yep, it's horrible once you take the 'red pill' and realize the truth about meat and dairy. With regards to eggs, baby male chicks are gassed as they are not needed....
Yeah, veggie means vegetarian. Yes, I gave up all dairy and eggs in September 2012. But I was tested around 2 years ago and I was told by my doctor that I needed to consume more eggs and dairy, which...
Thanks! I am new-ish to photography. The photos are for my blog. This is the recipe. http://inmyvegankitchen.wordpress.com/2013/09/11/tuna-and-avocado-salad/
Good for you! Yeah, a note would be a nice idea. Have you read the China Study or Forks Over Knives? If so, you could even tell them about it and how nutrition is so important for recovery. There are...
Noooooo! That's horrible. It is animal rape. That's why I felt so weird watching those two weirdoes forcing the ponies to mate. I just felt so sorry for the ponies, it was undignified. It's rape, no...
I got tested around 2 years ago, when I was just veggie, can't remember what time of year. They told me to increase my dairy consumption as I was also deficient in calcium. I was tested again...
Hey! You should watch this video. This is a doctor who uses a plant based diet/ vegan diet to heal his patients. He is talking about pregnancy and raising children....
Did you get checked for something like Celiacs? This explains what B12 is and how we get it. http://drmcdougall.com/misc/2007nl/nov/b12.htm I know in my case, I believe that dairy was causing me to...
Cholesterol and diet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50qezdTOSys You should definitely read the China Study with regards to animal products, heart disease and high cholesterol. They believe that a lot...
I was watching CSI, an episode called 'Bull' where a part of the storyline was bull semen theft and something called an 'electro ejaculator' was being used. I was like WHAT THE FUCK! Sorry but how...
The money aspect has always bothered me. But it was just watching those two people watching the ponies have sex, sorry, it was perverted. Weirdoes. People seem very obsessed with animals reproduction...
Ok, I know this is a weird topic, but I've just seen something on TV and I seriously need some eye bleach. It was on a ridiculous show about 'pedigree pets' and I knew it would make me angry to...
Dr McDougall on B12 http://drmcdougall.com/misc/2007nl/nov/b12.htm. When I was vegetarian my B12 was so low they wanted to give me injections. Since turning vegan my B12 is fine. I have no idea how...
My taste buds have completely changed since being vegan and I don't crave the same food as I used to. Before, I used to be able to eat a ton of ice cream, very high fat dairy. But recently I even...
In the UK we have these adverts on TV that talk about high cholesterol and eating better food. I thought that most issues with high cholesterol are diet related? And lack of exercise and eating high...
I was also a compulsive overeater, and while I wasn't purging any more, I still had a very unhealthy relationship with food. I binged on food, alcohol, everything I did was obsessive and compulsive....
That looks like something you'd get in restaurant! Did you make the fishless cake and potato waffle?
Food I've eaten lately. 'Tuna' and avocado salad http://imageshack.com/a/img4/5622/q4sd.jpg ...
I'm also gluten-free vegan, and I ordered a load of grains online- buckwheat groats, millet and amaranth. I've given up on bread tbh. I have an excellent recipe for a vegan, gluten free carrot...
Please read The China Study as it talks a lot about malabsorption, B12 and all that. From what I've read of it- it arrived today, your suspicions are right. In that milk causes a 'leaky gut' and...
Sucks that 'vegans' i.e plant based diet followers, who used stuff that animal derived, stuff that's tested on animals and they still get the health benefits that we do. Would be great if that were...
No, what I meant was. That most people don't want to hear about animal rights unfortunately, but do seem to get interested when doctors talk about a vegan diet and health. And the doctors who made...
I've watched Forks Over Knives and got the book, and I've ordered The China Study. I didn't look much into the health side of going vegan, despite some drastic changes to my health- periods back to...
I am a vegan for ethical reasons, and it helped me get over my disordered eating. When you learn to care for others other than your own problems, and you have less food to eat, it gave me respect for...
I began using coconut oil ages ago, before this research. I do not see it as a waste of money. All I can say is, since using coconut oil all my teeth and mouth issues have gone- and my dentist has...
I've been vegan for a year, veggie for 19 years. I've not had a single filling and my dentist comments on how great my teeth are. I do 'oil pulling' with coconut oil every morning which has...
I would eat chips from a chippy provided it was cooked in non-animal oil, just ask how they are cooked. But I would never eat from McDonald's. Just to say, don't ever feel you have 'ruined'...
You all need to read Eternal Treblinka, it's given me a lot to back up my views. I've only just began to read it, and before, I wasn't educated enough to make a good comeback other than 'I think it's...
I'm thinking of making a 'cottage pie' but with lentils and a sweet potato topping. With some veggies on the side.
I've been telling my uber-omni parents about Forks Over Knives. I've ordered the book, as well as Eternal Treblinka. My father who gets steam coming out of his ears if I mention the 'v-word', has...
This is exactly how I feel. I feel uncomfortable talking about the health benefits of veganism, because for me, that was a side effect. I also feel I am 'selling out' by not being truthful about how...
Haha! I know right,? Many things that we fight against are technically 'natural'. I have a 'friend' who is on the paleo diet, and claims that it's just the 'natural order of things'. He acknowledges...
I wouldn't care if meat is 'natural'. There are so many things I find messed up about the way the human race works and I get sick of people picking and choosing what 'natural' parts of humanity they...
Ah ok. Well scrap that, most bread seems to be OK. I actually prefer making my own bread, it's satisfying! I made some nice Italian sourdough the other day.
Oh really, where do you get your bread from? I mainly shop in Sainsbury's and found I couldn't eat most of them. I asked behind the counter and they said that most of their bread contains a bit of...
Hi Jay, welcome! I can relate to the depression and despair once you 'get it'. But just think, animals need us to be mentally and physically healthy so we can advocate for them. Here is an amazing...
This show bothers me more than any other cooking show, because they use so much dairy produce, all that butter, cream, milk, eggs, just to make some fancy cakes and pastries that the judges just take...
LOL oh god, the goose pimples! I would probably give mock pork a go.
I first had seitan from a Chinese takeaway, it was 'vegetarian chicken' so I gave it a go. I was so impressed as I'd never had...
I was really put off seitan as I once bought 'mock duck' in a can, and even thinking about it now makes me dry heave lol.
But I bought wheat gluten and have made some nice things with it, mainly...
