Vitamin D supplements almost always contain stearic acid in sufficient quantities to allow for full absorption. Needing large amounts of fat to absorb fat soluble vitamins is just a nonsense...

Quinoa is nothing special, it's amino acid profile is no better than that of potatoes and most legumes - it has just been well marketed :) The whole 'complete protein' idea is pseudoscience anyway,...
Two of Asda's lemon and herb piri piri burgers served with broccoli and cauliflower
Mung dal with added blended cashews served with brown rice, if you've never tried it then I recommend adding...
The video is unavailable in my country also.
My view on soy is that it's just another legume, nothing special but nothing bad either and it's just that many people have a vested interest in...
Lots of tofu and lots of juice!
Veggie tacos made using spring onions, peppers, chilis, tomatoes, romaine lettuce and avocado.
Portobello, avocado and hot sauce sandwiches - OMG!
5 cups of tea
I finally tried tea for the...
Yeah. There weren't really any options for eating out but there were plenty of cheap staples and fresh local fruit and veg. People there tend to eat lots of beans, fruit and vegetables etc at home...
Donated human breast milk?
Staples: Lentils, beans, potatoes and rice - all super cheap, especially when bought in bulk.
Fruit: Apples, bananas and oranges as well as some frozen berries.
Greens: Broccoli, cauliflower and...
Over night, luckily any animal products I had at the time would be eaten by others.
I really screwed up though to be honest, I believed the protein myth as well as some other nonsense and ended up...
You mentioned freezing beans, but you can just store them in an air tight box in the fridge and they'll be good for a week and take less time and hassle to reheat that way :p
Banana, blueberry, spinach and flaxseed smoothie (yay I finally bought a blender!)
Veggie burgers, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans and sweetcorn all drenched in about a cup of gravy.
Bean...
I don't follow any set recipe tbh but here's one that I wrote down that I found somewhere and it served as a great base. I think the cumin and mustard seeds as well as the fenugreek leaves are all...
For me it's dal with rice, I've eaten over 2000kcal of that in one sitting before >_> Or deep fried Indian snacks like pakoras and samosas...
Yesterday, I was in Philadelphia for a day before flying back to the UK.
Philly 'cheese steak' sandwich and a mountain of chips (fries).
That's all, I was so stuffed from eating so much that I...

Poor monkeys :(
I cook about 1-2kg (raw) of beans at the start of the week and store them in the fridge, reheating in a pan for 5minutes or so as needed. This combined with a rice cooker and some fresh veggies means...
Not all fats are equal! For example, 70% of the fat in walnuts is polyunsaturated (20% omega3, 80% omega6) so it takes a very small serving of walnuts to get all your essential fatty acids. You could...
Dry fruit?
Or eat fruit and don't drink so much ;)
Freshly squeezed orange and grapefruit juice
Rice, bean, jalapeno, tomato, spinach and avocado filled tortillas (x5!)
5 more tortillas... :lol:
I'm in Tecate, Baja California, Mexico - does that count as California? :P
Just replace refined sugar with fruits, anyone that tells you that whole fruits are bad for you due to the fructose content is a misinformed quack. Refined sugar is bad because it's nutrient void and...
You should try dates, they are up to 80% sugar by weight but like all fruits don't cause the problems associated with refined sugar. Some quacks do advocate fruit avoidance but when you actually look...
You should be supplementing with b12 either way, as should the majority of the population.
If you want to do this due to 'zee enzymes!' then keep in mind that the vast majority of commercial oats are heat treated at some point.
Likely just not getting enough calories, has your weight changed at all? Dairy products are typically very calorie dense, even the low fat ones usually have added sugar, so replacing them with equal...
Whole wheat pasta with a spicy tomato and onion sauce
Giant besan chila with 500g of mushrooms wrapped up in it
500g strawberries, 500g grapes, a mango, an apple, an orange and two bananas

Giant besan chilla with onion, pepper, tomato and mushroom
Four bananas, 500g strawberries, 500g grapes, a giant orange
Cauliflower, broccoli and sweet potato curry with basmati rice
Get rid of your husband? :evil:
I've recently found myself eating a bunch of fruit only meals, usually involving grapes and different kinds of berries - it's easy enough to eat around 600kcal of them in a sitting and is very...
Ideally I'd just like a multivitamin that has b12, iodine, vitamin d (vegan d3) and zinc as those are the things lacking from my favourite foods - too bad nobody seems to have the exact same needs so...
Mushroom sandwiches are great, just bake a bunch of sliced mushrooms (I do a 300g pack), drain and squash them between two slices of bread.

There's one example, specialised 'smoothie maker' rather than a generic...
Aren't there some for £20 that do the same? I don't think such an expensive piece of equipment is necessary if you'll only make green smoothies out of it, those high end food processors are multi...
Have you considered trees? Date trees for example can provide massive amounts of fruit even while kept at very reasonable sizes, think 100lb+ per year, it probably does depend if your current home is...
I once saw someone in wholefoods buying 10 boxes of vegan cheese at once, that wasn't you was it? :lol2: Unfortunately I can't think of any 'gems', Canterbury seems to have a fair amount of AR people...
It's very easy to get the RDA for protein but also keep in mind that the RDA accounts for 'incomplete' protein* and also has a 25% buffer on top, in short even government guide lines suggest that...
Porridge with dates and raisins
Two 'nakd' bars (lame city centre with no vegan options, I couldn't even find bananas that were ripe enough to eat!)
Two chickpea burgers with mushrooms,...
I was living in Canterbury up until about 2 months ago but now I'm at the other side of the country, not very helpful I know :o
I recently discovered these as well and am a big fan! They are known as chillas and are served as street food in India but can also easily be adapted into 'omelettes' ending up with the exact same...
