    Boyfriend dumped me because i was vegan

    Sorry to say this...No big loss. And for the obvious reasons that I'm sure others have commented on. You should be celebrating the loss of such a loser.

    High blood pressure on low salt diet

    That is the best advice I've received yet. I've been working on it, but you've hit the nail on the head...I can be my worst enemy.

    High blood pressure on low salt diet

    Is it possible that some people just have higher BP than others? I've heard in England and other locations around the World doctors check BP one a year and don't over prescribe medication like in the US. I've had somewhat higher BP since being checked for a physical over 25 years ago. I...

    Should restaurants to serve both vegan & non-vegan options?

    I go to vegan restaurants exclusively. When I go to a non-Vegan establishment, like with friends, I generally go for "the big Salad." Or I'll take the opportunity to consider the occasion a cheat day and maybe have a piece of salmon. A piece of fish a few times a year won't kill you. Just get...

    Vegan on a budget

    Just a small suggestion. Go to the library or book store and get acquainted with a few Vegan cookbooks. Write down some recipes from them. (take a photo with your phone) It's fun cooking Vegan and it doesn't have to be expensive. A cheap rice/grain cooker and a food processor are a great...

    I was attacked...

    Oh...just in the name of accuracy, I'm not a liberal or a progressive. I have quite a few conservative points of view in my arsenal of thought. Then again I also have liberal points of view too. I march to my own drummer. That's what I found so annoyingly amusing and yet troubling by the...

    I was attacked...

    Like many, I skim through youtube to get ideas on Vegan dishes. I learn much easier from the visual. I leave comments about a subject that I enjoy or a negative comment about something I don't quite agree with. Well... a few days ago I received a response from a comment I left months ago. It...

    Looking for somewhere to belong....

    Welcome! Don't over think things and don't go to extremes. Religion has nothing to do with diet. Vegan fare can be wonderfully tasty and easy to prepare. As for socializing with friends... sometimes it's best to say I just ate an hour ago, rather than debate the benefits of Veganism...

    Boyfriend dumped me because i was vegan

    Anyone that won't associate with you because of your meal choice is hiding their true feelings. In truth, I'm sure there is a hidden agenda.

    Largest meat producer in the u.s. to launch vegan protein

    I hate to say it but Tyson for whatever reason is investigating Vegan options. They have a division dedicated to it. I'm sure its a way to cover as many bases as they can.

    I give up on vegan-Please help

    With all due respect...I guess merely being an independent individual with thoughts and beliefs of your own isn't enough. You need to seek the approval of others. Okay here's my suggestion...ignore the science ...and just begin wolfing down meat so you can gain the approval of these supposed...

    Keto

    When I reply to a hardcore Keto person with the fact that they can almost both be Vegan and Keto at the same time, I'm usually rewarded with a barrage hostile language. lol. Especially after I suggest to them that the "supermarket meat" version of the Keto diet is basically being renamed "the...

    New vegan

    I agree. I've read some very strange things that folks do in the name of Veganism. Mostly they have to do with not understanding what the word BALANCED actually means.

    New vegan

    Perfect, simple, short and concise. When I read stories of those who "failed" being a Vegan, I'll think of this short summary.

    New vegan

    It gets easier and easier. I take a B12 vitamin a few times a week. Once you get into the adventure of meal preparation and recipes the fun begins. I build a vegan pizza for a Saturday night treat that will knock you off your feet! Have fun and good luck.

    How do you really feel?

    You've hit on an interesting theory. It's difficult to assign physical body changes to a change in diet and be still be accurate. I'm a 65 y.o male, I'm also going through some odd physical changes, believe me. Are they the result in my diet change or is it age and wear? (I'm Vegan for 18...

    High blood pressure on low salt diet

    My BP has been high my entire life. Beginning in my mid-30's. Before becoming an (imperfect) Vegan (age 55) I was on BP meds. I was up to 158/90 ish. Since changing my eating habits I have dropped to 144/80ish...My Dr. took me off of BP medication. I'm still high, I know. But all my other blood...

    Hey everyone...

    I'm not a perfect Vegan. Although I haven't eaten any meat, poultry, cheese, milk, milk products knowingly for 14 months. (I sneak salmon every 6 months or so). Under my daughter's guidance who is a strict vegan, in my 14 months, some great things began to happen. I lost 23 pounds, I fit into...
