Discussion: Vegan Thread

Abyssy

Hello! Welcome to ATRL's Vegan Thread.

This is a place where we can discuss all things vegan - from food recipes to animal rights and more. The aim of this thread is to be friendly, informative and have our own little area of ATRL where like minded people can gather together and share ideas.

Even if you're not vegan feel free to ask questions and get involved.

Let me know if you want to be added to the list of vegans/vegetarians below.

What are you talking about? I'm making a thread about vegans. If you're either (a) not vegan or (b) not here to ask a question like I said in the OP, then go elsewhere and stop being disruptive, thanks.

Yeah, it's so good isn't it!

Did you find it difficult at first or was it easier than you thought?

I can totally see that the change is hard to make.

But as soon as you realize the benefits...

Not only ethycally, but also in your health.

I've lost over 40 kilos = 90 pounds. And so far, my last week's test shows that I have no vitamin deficit whatsoever.

No B12 deficit, calcium, iron or D vitamin deficit at all.

And of course my colestherol and bad fats level is better than ever.

I don't want to be mean but vegetarians have no business being here, create your own chicken period and cow mucus thread, veganism is so much more than just not eating meat

This is so true! There's several reasons to go vegan: ethical, health, environmental!

Also well done on losing the weight and getting healthier

Yeah a balanced vegan diet isn't as hard as some people might think!

Nnnn I mean I do get where you are coming from which is why I titled it "Vegan Thread" but I think we still need to support our fellow non-meat eaters. Some people - like Homogenic - are currently vegetarian but are planning on going vegan in the future. It's a transition process for some people. Also vegetarians are still doing more than meat-eaters so I think we need to help one another.

It was hard. Specially when finding new things to eat, as I have very few time in my day to make my meals.

But I realized that it was SUPER important to take my time with it.

And innovate.

Also... I find SUPER IMPORTANT to make my dishes look 'appetizing'... I mean, that we usually eat through the eyes... and making something look desirable makes you eat it more happily, taking time to enjoy it and actually making the food digest better.

Another fundamental point for me is making my own 'fast food'. I mean.... instead of buying manufactured burgers or taboulé or hummus, or whatever I wanna eat... I preffer to actually take the time and cook and maybe freeze the food I make in excess to buying food that also takes a lot of stabilizers and preservatives.

Also.... I have to say that being able to go out and have places to have your vegan food along with non-vegans is VERY IMPORTANT as that makes you not change you lifestyle and keep on going out with friends as usual and so on

taboulé is LIT. are you a high carb low fat vegan or do you just do whatever you want?

also, try mutabbal (it's an eggplant dip - you roast the eggplant, add some tahini, garlic etc and voila!) if you enjoy hummus!

You forgot to add jxck and also me!

I'm in my 9th day being Vegan. I started May 1st

Getting rid of dairy was easy as hell because I rarely ever drink Milk, or eat Cheese or Yogurt, or Eggs

The chicken was the hardest part, NOT because it taste good, but because I need protein to gain muscle

I feel pretty good BUT I'm going to be honest......I'm a little scared on what might happened to me in the near future

I would hear horror stories from YouTubers on how they went Vegan and they felt sick or lost muscle mass on the 3rd month

The Hodge Twins quit being Vegan and started eating meat again because they said they lost muscle

This one girl on YouTube said she had to go to the hospital and when she started eating meat again, she felt better

I'm making sure I meet my 2,000 calorie and taking B12, but I'm still scared
