Vegan IrotI've been doing a vegetarian change of life for a little bit, both for diet and the animal cruelty aspect. I really have found vegetables I never knew I liked, like shiitake mushrooms or eggplant. Mmm.
I've lost like 10 pounds in a month, but, my guilty pleasure is dairy and I am pretty lactose intolerant even eating baked goods with milk...gets me sick (but I do it anyway).
So, I figured I would go vegan for a month to see if I can cook and just feel and be healthier. I also want to drop more chub. ^_^ If I cannot stay healthy, since any diet can be, I will go back to vegetarianism until I can be healthy as a vegan. I'm not the best cook.
Now, for some reason people seem to get irked when people want to be vegan, but I really have no qualms with others eating meat. I do not think that people are not meant to eat meat or dairy, but at the same time, it does not have to be in a diet. Just felt I should add that since some of my family aren't supportive. o.O
I just think their needs to be a lot of revision in the meat and farming industry, that's it.
So, anyone have any good vegan recipes? I have some, but I'm always open to more!!
Oh, and I received a 3.81 this semester, and I had senioritis. That's pretty awesome...I actually feel good about myself for once.
*gives a colossal hugs to all* Cheers!

Also, even though meat is tasty, tasty murder, I do also hate the way it's become a perverted, mass-production type industry. Harshes my mel', man.

I think I have a way to go before I worry about being underweight, lmao.
Yes, meat is undeniably tasty, and I'm glad you understand the corruption of some of the meat industries. I don't see anything wrong with meat consumption really, though I feel so much better without it...that also be do the crappy quality of the meat at the restaurants we eat out at in America. Boo.

Anyway, this is about you. I think it's great that you're doing well on this so far, and I agree with your reasons for doing it. I hate how the industry works, so hopefully I can successfully go vegetarian myself.
I wish I could share recipes with you...! All of mine are improvised or salad. D:

Yea, I feel a lot healthier; my temptation though is cheese, which is another big evil that was in my diet too much. xD I eventually will go back to vegetarian, but being vegan really helps me to eat and appreciate purely veggie or fruit foods and make them taste good. As a vegetarian, I didn't eat originally much meat as it was, and I still could eat just about everything...sooo, diet wise it didn't help me. But, of course, that's me, lmao.
However, cutting out the meat and at least if you limit dairy (I dunno how much you eat) made me feel sooo good. I am lactose intolerant so that is part of it, but other than having clearer skin, and noooo body odor whatsoever (gross, but amazing haha), I lost weigh without lifting a foot originally.
But, yea, if it helps to improve your health, try it out for a month and make an effort to go online and get recipes. The health benefits come first, and the animal thing is only an added benefit. xD
