    veggie sandwich... lettuce, tomato, green bell peppers, onions, olives, pickles, jalapenos, olives. Simple yet satisfying. :)

    Snacks and sobbing

    I used to feel this way when I first went vegetarian. It gets a lot easier over time... after the first couple of weeks, there was a little bit of "I wish I could eat that" but the internal sobbing had subsided. After about a month, meat no longer registered as food, so it was like watching...

    What did you eat for Dinner/Supper today?

    The Beefless Tips are pretty plain--I think they're better as part of a recipe (maybe some stroganoff?) instead of just by themselves. Have you tried Gardein's Sizzling Szechuan Beefless Strips? They're sooooo good! I add in a little bit of red pepper flakes to make them spicy.

    I hate me tonight

    Thank you everyone. I turned off all my electronics, cuddled up with a book, and went to bed early(ish) last night. This morning, I feel a lot better (mentally and physically). I appreciate the support so much! It would be nice not to have to check every single thing we eat. I avoid so many...

    I hate me tonight

    The last few weeks have been insanely stressful in life and work. I've been trying my best to keep my **** together, but tonight I made a mistake and I'm trying really hard not to totally hate myself for it. I work 10+ hour days and then drive about 90 minutes each way between work and home...

    Resisting temptation -how to?

    Cravings are the body's way of telling us it needs something—it doesn't specifically need the eggs per se, but something in the eggs is being craved. Maybe it's salt, maybe it's protein, maybe it's just a comfort food... whatever it is, your body is trying to ask for something. It can be hard to...

    Womens' issue - concerned and need support

    It's hard to say. I'm 32, started going through premature menopause when I was 17 but my gynocologist put me on HBC to stop and reverse it (which it did). The gyno told me that since the cancer I had affected my reproductive system so much, I'd probably go through menopause about 10 years...

    Thanksgiving woes..

    What if you made arrangements with the restaurant ahead of time to bring your own food? Perhaps something they could just plate for you (like a salad, or another food that doesn't require heating) and bring it out to you? Or maybe something they could just microwave? If you're paying $35 just to...

    Vegan meal kits

    Has anyone tried any of the vegan meal kit delivery services? I'm referring to ones where they send all the premeasured ingredients and then the customer does the actual cooking. I subscribed to one a couple months ago, and have been really enjoying it but with mixed feelings. The meals are...

    There are people eating flesh and drinking blood now

    With more than 7 billion people in the world, I think just about any idea is bound to get at least a few people who believe it, even the most ridiculous and far-fetched of them. Hopefully, the people who follow his channel do so thinking it's some sort of weird or morbid entertainment and...

    Vegan food labeling

    I don't know if it's just because I live in an area with a robust culinary diversity and a good number of people partaking in vegetarianism/veganism, but I've noticed lately that a lot more places are starting to label which of their offerings are vegetarian and/or vegan friendly. It makes...

    Advice for asking my parents?

    It sounds like your mom will at least be supportive. :) Have you found a recipe for you and your parents to try from the new cookbook yet?

    Womens' issue - concerned and need support

    I think it might have to do with non-veganism; the hormones in animal products make my body go haywire. I had a rare cancer as a kid that messed up my hormones and reproductive system, and poor diet makes it worse... when I was vegan before, everything balanced out perfectly, though I don't...

    Greetings from the great american food desert

    Welcome, Bob! I love your attitude about it being more of a challenge than a difficulty.

    Womens' issue - concerned and need support

    So, short version: I was vegan for a few years and reached my optimum health, then changes in life made me fall back into my old, unhealthy ways. I went back to being vegan about a month ago, and started feeling better almost instantly. But I've been on my period for almost 3 months straight...

    Omni, low-carb diets may'shorten lifespan'

    The paleo (a.k.a "paleolithic" a.k.a. "caveman" a.k.a. "stone age") diet has become crazy popular the last few years. I know a number of people who have at least tried it, only a couple have stuck to it, and none of them achieved the long-term health effects they were aiming for. To its credit...
