Evilyna Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 My name's Lina and I'm fairly new to the vegan world. Although I've been fairly interested in veganism/vegetarianism for a couple years, I only made the change in September 2008. At first, I went vegetarian and now I'm slowly working my way to 100% vegan. (I still have a weakness for honey) More about myself... I'm interested in learning about fitness and how I can improve upon my eating habits. I've always been interested in fitness but I've been having troubles sticking with a proper routine lately. Last month I hardly did any activity at all but last week, I started lifting weights and doing intense cardio again. Any tips or suggestions regarding fitness or diet are welcome...and if anyone would just like to chat, that's fine with me too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuc Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Welcome, Lina! You asked for tips for diet. I think most people disregard nuts for some reason. They're super healthy, filled with protein and good fats and they taste really good! Go for pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds for example. They fit in salads or almost any food. Honey isn't actually the worst thing in this planet, I don't think you are going to hell if you have some honey once in a while. But hey, I don't believe in hell to begin with.

Emilyrobin Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hi Linda, Welcome and I'd like to second the Agave nectar suggestion as a honey substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilyna Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Thank you for the warm welcome and all the suggestions! I've taken the suggestions about maple syrup and agave nectar to heart and you'll be happy to know I bought both products. I'll put these to use soon I'm sure!

dropSoul Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Welcome! This is a great group of people! I'd also like to say that Agave Nectar is soooo much tastier than honey. Though, just do your best. It's better to do something sustainable for life than strict for a short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
