Haha, am I? maybe about five times a month I would say.

[Astrid]

lol gluten makes me ill...

But I was sort of making myself ill on purpose, for not doing well in my exam. lol

Oh, so you're punishing yourself with gluten. You shouldn't do that.

[absentmindedfan]

Mmm, your day looks delicious Absentmindedfan...yay for someone who actually eats! (but very, very healthily at that) You're an example to us all...I could never keep up with the amount of exercise you do though, but I do my best

Thankyou

The thing is, you don't have to have the regime I do to make a difference. Even going for a 20min walk everyday will change your body if it's more than you're doing now.

If you eat a healthy vegan diet (wholegrains; no refined sugar/flour; complex carbs; no added fats, natural fats like nuts, avocado etc; no caffeine; no junk; a little processed food as possible; plenty of fruit, veg, nuts and seeds) you can eat as much as you like and you'll be fine.

[Astrid]

Breakfast: Banana, 1/2 avocado, gluten free bun, glass of OJ

Lunch: Leftover soup, mango & kiwi fruit salad, glass of chocolate soy milk

Snack: Dark chocolate

Dinner: More soup, small mixed salad, stick of celery

Snacks: A clementine, potato chips, trail mix (cashews, walnuts, brazil nuts, almonds, hazel nuts, pistachios, raisins and dried papaya)

I ate a lot of fruit today.

[cobweb]

Haha, am I? maybe about five times a month I would say.

that's a lot to me! - i did get a free lunch at a workshop this week but i don't really count that - otherwise, last time I ate out was May 2006 .

[ellaminnowpea]

Do you count eating out as having coffee/ snack from a shop or sitting down for a meal? If its sitting down to eat a meal, its been a while for me - maybe since december. It was when my supervisor so kindly took me to a vegan pizza place for my last week of my internship last semester. But the restaurants suck in this town so I haven't gone out to eat this semester with the exception of getting food from the restaurant at which I work.

I had an illegal burrito!!!! With: rice, black beans, lettice, tomato, pico de gallo, black olives, roasted onions, corn, cilantro, and green tomatillo sauce on two whole wheat tortillas.

For those of you who don't know, an illegal burrito is the largest size of burrito from Izzo's, of the other sizes super felony, and regular misdemeaner. The illegal is aprox. a foot long, and 4 inches in diameter. They use two large torillas to wrap it. It is pure heaven in aluminium foil. My tummy is jolly.

...now I want another one.

(I tried to use yeast extract to make the scheese taste less like caramel but to no avail)

Not loving the Scheese then! Why not try it mixed through pasta sauce, or in a jacket potato or in mash? (Try a little bit first though - in case you hate it, saves ruining the entire meal!)

[BlackCats]
