Really, the only thing that stands in my way is convenience. Its so easy to fall back on soy products but I can change that easy enough.

As it pertains to PCOS, the research is new and in my opinion, a little sketchy, but that I could feel better and be less at risk for diabetes and other insulin resistance concerns makes me more than willing to try something new. There is no fun in feeling like you have no control of your body and anything I can do to take that back I am all for. Thank you all for your responses.

I recently found out that soy consumption is is considered bad for women with PCOS (me in particular). As a vegan I have been eating plenty of soy. I cut back a lot but its still in my diet. Can I cut it out completely and still be healthy and get enough protien? I eat a ton of legumes and have no problem getting enough nutrients but I am still a bit concerned. I am headed off to work but will check in when I get back. Any and all replies and questions are welcome. Thanks, Pup

I know this is not a recipe question but I could not decide where to post it. I am looking for some more vegan bars, especially ones available at the store (as opposed to mail order). Right now I eat a lot of Larabars, any other reccomendations? And, are Cliff bars vegan?

Anyone know of any good cookbooks that have bread and other baking recipes? I am looking for more hearty/savory recipes and breads rather than say cookies and cakes, but both will do. Thanks, puppy

Thanks everyone. And Robert, it was the ever lovely Epilogue that brought this site to my attention. I am looking forward to using the boards.

A friend of mine from another fitness board recommended this site to me. I am a long time vegetarian (13 years) but semi new vegan. I bounced back and forth for a few years but have finally made the commitment, not to go vegan again, but to make a permanent change. I grew up a competitive swimmer but switched to running as my main training/stress relief/competition/ect. I still try and swim once a week or so, along with regular lifting and other cross training. Right now I am training for a half marathon. Umm, what else? I am currently a waitress until I go back to school in the fall. I live in VA but have lived in 4 different countries and even got my BA from the University of Hawaii.
