Re: [Carolinahoosier] We have a pug dog (Althaea) - She's really lovely. But the night was horror- she was running around all the time. And in the morning she did something on our
sofa, that was not so good. But we weren't able to be angry on that, because she looked so fearfull around.
My mom said it would be better to give her back, so does my stepdaddy. I don't know - she was punished by the sec
Rawfoodism (Matvienknat) - I've chanced to found out about new strt up: http://veganmarket.wordpress.com/ (High protein vegetarian foods (i.e. tofu), natural sweetener (stevia leaf), nori seaweed, and carob powder can be bought there (really cheap prices, IMHO) - the range of the food will be broadened:)

We have a pug dog (Althaea) - We have got a pug dog this evening. My stepdaddy thought it would be good for my mom.
Well, this evening we got that little dog with us. She was soooo exited. She is a quiet and sweet one.
Shivered all the time she was in the car. I thought she will suffer of a heart attack. Poor thing..
Her name is "Nika". I hope it will turn out well and we don

New Vegan (Sirena) - Hello to Everyone...
As stated in the Subject line I am a New Vegan. I became a vegetarian 2 years ago. Leaving meat behind only got difficult in the company of family bar-b-ques but I soon overcame that after watching the documentary "Earthlings". It was never a problem again.
I was quite content eating eggs and dairy products until seeing t

Re: [Trucker] how often do you grocery shop? (christinekennedy) - same here it is mine second home because I love cooking and so I need many things to bring from grocery shop. But I use to go monthly because I make a list whatever I need all over just go there and take it. So I didn't feel often any time.
Vegetarian meal ideas for someone who hates vegetables (natalieveg) - Hi guys,
I used to be vegetarian in highschool for about 2 and a half years but I stopped because I was fainting all the time and my iron levels were about 10% of what they should have been. That was about a year ago I stopped and I want to start again but I'm scared of fainting all the time like I used to.
I'm not a fan of vegetables, not at all

Re: [Carolinahoosier] Fat Sick and Nearly Dead (jambo101) - Actually juicing differs from smoothies,juicing has all the fiber and pulp removed from the resulting liquid.
This isnt a permanent diet and only lasts a few days,weeks or for the few as much as 60 days.Second part of this process is a dietary lifestyle change that will ensure you dont fall back to your old ways of eating because if you dont make
Re: [cpdvegan] observations on raw eating (christinekennedy) - Raw food helps in cut downing the fats of your body. So we can use different different types of salad in our lunch, dinner, and in breakfast too.
Re: [jambo101] Fat Sick and Nearly Dead (Carolinahoosier) - Saw him on Dr OZ (quack). I can't imagine all smoothies all of the time.
Re: [jambo101] Fat Sick and Nearly Dead (Marina) - It's no that the diet is not to my liking or that I find it controversial. It is a quick fix that will undoubtedly leave you wishing you hadn't done it in the long run when the weight comes back with a vengeance. 10 lbs in 5 days is a metabolic nightmare. I find it interesting that you do not feel you can cut back a mere 300 calories per day, bu
May 3, 2013 (VeggieChick2013) - I started my day with cheesecake. I know it sounds crazy, and totally not vegan BUT I got a great deal on Earth Cafe Vegan Cheesecakes (have any of you tried them?) at KGB deals, so I had some last night... & Then I had some more this morning! Eh, it's Friday, why not start the day with something yummy. I did have my green smoothie sans fruit to
Re: [jambo101] Fat Sick and Nearly Dead (VeggieChick2013) - This diet was a bit too extreme for me as a new vegan. I've been getting some nutritional counseling and the consensus seems to be that overloading our bodies with such a radical change can be detrimental and have unpleasant side effects that will make it hard to go the distance. I do like the mini reboots though. They are actually what made me
Re: [Marina] Fat Sick and Nearly Dead (jambo101) -
Good points Marina however calorie counting has never worked for us,seems to be too much of a bother and we are paying the price for our lack of diligence in this area.

Re: [Marina] Fat Sick and Nearly Dead (Marina) - I guess this is where Joel Fuhrman and I part ways (this and his obsession with supplements).
Re: [jambo101] Fat Sick and Nearly Dead (Marina) - Hi there! I haven't seen the video, and although I'm sure the man in question lost a ton of weight, I strongly suggest that you do not go on an all juice diet. This kind of diet is extremely low calorie. As a result, the loss of weight comes at a very high price: a significantly lower metabolism rate. This means once you finish the diet, you w

Starting to get healthy (jambo101) - Finally retired and realize i'm too fat and out of shape to do anything.

vegan and less sleepy (JoeStl) - Dear all,
I want to hear from other vegans to see if you experienced increased wakefulness, less daytime fatigue on a vegan diet. If you feel this way, do you remember how long you started on the vegan diet before this effect becomes noticeable? Thank you.

Re: [amelia] who else has dry skin caused by winter? (christinekennedy) - After bathing daily use a body lotion or moisturizers which will help to recover the skin textures. And in a week use scarb with aloe vera gel for 5 mins and live it for 10 minutes and then rinse it with plan water, which will give a great result after a month.In Reply To:

tofu water (amelia) - hello, vegpeople! i'd like to hear some opinions about tofu water/pressing tofu. particularly, does anyone prepare tofu in such a way that it is desirable not to press the water out first? and if anyone either doesn't press the water out, or just doesn't do it well, do you feel like tofu water gives you gas (like if you don't rinse canned beans)? i

Carbs have 4 calories per gram, so, your intake is actually 42% carbs which means you're on a high fat, low carb diet.

Low carb is by no stretch of the imagination good for you. Your brain runs on glucose. Based on the World Health Organization guidelines, a healthy diet is made up of approximately 10% to 15% protein, 60% to 65% carbs, and up to 30% unsaturated fats.

Cultured Meat (Grown Meat) (mikeb42) - Are you an omnivore? Or are you a vegetarian strictly on animal welfare grounds? Would you consider eating cultured meat (meat grown in the lab)?

Re: [eawilli] New to plant-based diets (treehugger8279) - Hi there! On a tight budget, I would definitely suggest dry goods like oats and things...also frozen veggies and fruits as they last much longer and are oftenly on sale/coupons.
