Hello everyone! Some of you might not be aware of simple actions that go a long way in supporting this website. I fund it all myself and it can get expensive at times with the tours and promotions, give-aways and programs, and paying those who help run and maintain the website. I want to inform you of ways you can contribute to this wonderful resource by doing things you already do. Here are some easy ways to support this forum and http://www.veganbodybuilding.com: 1. If you already use Vega products, please consider ordering from any of the 4 stores I work with. When these stores order from Vega, I get commission. I've been working with Vega for 6 years and these…

This thread is dedicated to bodybuilding diets. Everyone can add their experience, tips, advice on how to gain muscle and/or lose bodyfat. Later maybe i'll split the topic, but for now, let's have both in one. Feel free to add your ideas. It's possible that you have different opinions on things, but please don't discuss in this thread. The purpose of this thread is to be a source of information on vegan BB diets. For a start, here are my thoughts on BB diet. Everyone who does BB wants to either build up mass or lose bodyfat, or both, preferably. There are many opinions around how to do it best. Obviously, the exact plan depends on the individuals starting point.…

What more romantic way to celebrate the holiday, than to make sure that animals are happy and healthy. Tonight, we're going for dry-cooked Chinese vegetables with tons of spicy chili sauce, and a touch of garlic and ginger. Add some Righteously Raw chocolates, a Love Potion #9 cocktail, and organic red roses, and I'm a happy lady!

Hemp seeds

Hi everyone, I'm new to all this and I've just got hold of a copy of The Thrive Diet by Brendan Brazier, which I want to try and follow. My question is about seeds, particularly hemp seeds, which Brendan uses quite a lot in his diet to make hemp milk etc. My question is- do the seeds have to be shelled first? I can't seem to find a good supplier of unshelled hemp seeds in London - if I'm putting them in a blender can I just put in the whole seeds with shell intact? Sorry if this is a stupid question, and thanks for the info!

Hi! I am afraid, all the Tofu, Saitan and Beans cause my stomach to bloat to an extend that is really painful. Has anyone experiences with that? I would like to get rid of that I have been eating high protein foods for two or three months now. Before that, I was fine (but I mostly ate carbohydrates). I don't know how to eat enough protein without Tofu, Saitan and Beans... Any ideas? =)

some things are ok, some not so much. my b12 is decent - 310, up from 209 two years ago, but still down from 473 three years ago. i started taking a b complex so i'm sure that's one reason it's up. vitamin d is 41 which should be between 75-250. i'm starting with 2000 iu so hopefully i can get that up. i've read some interesting things about vitamin d i didn't know before and it's frightening to be deficient. my cholesterol shocked me. 5.13 - 4.26 two years ago, and 3.81 three years ago - not going well eh? heh what made me laugh is when she said "your urine is a little acidic - you're eating too much meat" - fail

Hi all. My focus has been lacking (and it shows in my physique). I've changed gyms to a Virgin Active which is right outside my work so makes it easier to go. I want to also refocus my training and diet. Online research has made me feel overwhelmed with varying advice. Does anyone have a great all round vegan fitness book they could recommend? Perhaps something with diet plans? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Cheers, Jay

Foods that fight Cancer One -third of all cancer deaths may be diet related. What you eat can hurt you, but it can also help you. Avocados: rich in glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that attacks free radicals in the body. Broccoli: Broccoli, especially sprouts, also have the phytochemical sulforaphane, a product of glucoraphanin - believed to aid in preventing some types of cancer, like colon and rectal cancer. Sulforaphane induces the production of certain enzymes that can deactivate free radicals and carcinogens. Chili peppers and jalapenos contain a chemical, capsaicin, which may neutralize certain cancer-causing substances (nitrosamines) and may help prevent …

I'm really skinny, and want to pack on some mass. But I feel hard to eat this much calories. If I have 5-6 meals a day, even with the most delicious foods after about 600kcal I get bored of it, and have to sutff it down my throat :S So how do you guys eat this much calories?

Hello! As the title suggests I live in a third world country where vegan protein shakes are not as yummy as in the US or Canada or whatever. Green pea protein that was undissolvable and "neutral taste" was my worst buy (let alone an expensive one). The taste was imposible to hide and I could not even cook with it. I had to throw it away. It was like trying to drink corn starch. So my question is: I do not have much time to cook so Im making my green pea nuggets to have for the next couple of days (my own recipy which I do like, it's just mashed peas and spices and a tiny bit of rice flour oven-cooked). I'm trying to make a bite that is a replacement for green pe…

I know this isn't a Vegan question, but i don't really have any other place to ask. I have a 4 year old Pit. He doesn't even have a quarter of the energy he had about 2 years ago. He's been eating the best dry food that's at pet stores. Do you guys know of any really high quality dry foods?

Recommend a juicer? * I want a juicer, not a blender * Something EASY to CLEAN * Something that does green leafy vegetables well * Something durable. Anything else I should know? Any big differences between centrifuge juicers and presses? Will a presser juicer let me make juice I don't have to drink right away?

Hey All, I'm a little concerned. I had a routine physical this week and my EKG came back questionable, my Vitamin D levels were low enough that the Dr. prescribed that I get supplements (1,000mg/day) and more sunlight, AND my white blood cell count was low. I have yet to do some research and look into what this all means so I'm not in a panic. I was told that the Dr. thinks it was a mechanical error as far as the EKG. But I've never had anything abnormal in bloodwork, especially a vitamin deficiency. Everyone who knows me would be quick to blame my vegan diet. I am a healthy 115 pound female with 2 kids (3 and 1). I am 31 years young and quite fit. Any information woul…

http://www.citizens.org/priorities/hr3156/index.cfm snip... In an era of spiraling health care costs, H.R. 3156 will likely increase the price of popular herbs and dietary supplements like St. John’s Wort, saw palmetto, and omega-3 fatty acids by establishing a burdensome and unnecessary set of ingredient and adverse event reporting requirements. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 already provides for the establishment of Good Manufacturing Practices for the dietary supplement industry, and for the ability of the FDA to pull unsafe products. So why are we adding another expensive layer of regulation? This bill hurts consumers’ pocketbooks wit…

Hey there everyone! I haven't been on this forum is such a long time, but it seems my kids are older and I finally have some time again! My name is Jen and I've been vegan for 7.5 years now. My whole family is too. What do you all think of drinking vodka and seltzer while leaning out??? I'm trying to lean out a bit more for summer and my one vice is an occassional vodka and seltzer along with something sweet. Will this really kill my progress!? I'd love to hear anything more on the subject!

I have arthtritis in both knees and have read about the benefits of both gluten-free and grain-free diets. I'm trying to figure out how to get enough slow-digesting, complex, non-inflammatory carbs without eating any grains but I'm stuck. I've been looking at http://nutritiondata.self.com/ I see some that are only mildly inflammatory like green peas and a few kinds of beans (pinto, black). I realize many vegetables are anti-inflammatory like broccoli and spinach but they tend to be quite low in calories. I'd have to eat 50 or 100 servings of these per day just to get an adequate number of carbs. I'd appreciate advice on what to eat. Thanks!

Does this count as spam? Don't spam a forum man. You can talk about your products by all means but at least be a little more tasteful about it. Maybe a little link and more info and less GIANT LOGO...
