Most likely yes..that is usually just in case of an allergy. The warning is there to cover their butts

Thanks so much for the tips! Going to try some of these today

Hi there, I have been in kind of a workout rut. I am wanting to take on p90x for something new, to hopefully help me past this weight loss plateau, and get more fit, but there is a pretty major issue. I cant do a single pushup, chinup, or pullup lol. What do you guys recommend to do to build up the strength to be able to do these things? Thanks!

I cant wait to read this!

You guys are so generous! Thank you so much for everything!

I honestly haven't been paying much attention to the way my muscles have been looking lately. I have been really bummed out because the scale hasn't gone down a single pound for about 4 months now. I have about at least 50 more pounds to lose, and am so ready to be thin and fit! But anyways, my boyfriend told me that my arms looked great while I was lifting today, and decided to snap a pic. I am really proud of this picture lol! Just wish it didn't look like a giant bingo arm when not flexing lmao..but I will get there in due time!!!!! http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y252/morbidgrotesque/gallery-896436780jpg-1.jpg

I havnt been able to find one with iodine either What I do is take a regular vegan multi + an iodine supp once every few days. I got mine on amazon as Norwegian kelp

You are such an inspiration!!!!! I hope to have that kind of stamina some day lol!! Great work!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for the responses, this is such a great community!! I am going to get him to sign up here

Thanks for the responses! Baby Hercules- His reasons are animal cruelty and overall health and well being. It was his idea, but on my part there was a lot of encouragement. He was vegetarian for a few years a while back. He is ready to leave his old life behind, yet has some hesitations. Will take things slow, and see how it goes Today seems to be a lot better for him, so that is a plus. He has been getting a lot of good information from this site, so he feels even better about doing it.

Thanks for the advice!

When my boyfriend first started trying a vegetarian diet, he ended up stopping and going back to eating meat, because his stomach was constantly hurting. He would have gas all day long, and it would really hurt him. He says he feels it up to his chest, and no medicines or anything helps. I have him trying vegan diet for 30 days, and its day 5 and the same thing is happening. It is not just a bit more gas, but more the painful kind, making him not even want to leave the house. He is miserable, saying he feels dizzy now on top of it. I really want to see him succeed at eating this way, but we are having trouble. I don't think its a gluten sensitivity or anything because he eats a lot of pasta and such on a meat eating diet. In a typical day he will eat fruit, lots of veggies, quinoa, beans, almond milk, cereal, rice/hemp protein shakes, whole wheat pasta, sometimes whole grain pancakes, bit of peanut butter, almonds, etc Thanks for reading!!

I just wanted to say thank you sooooo much for this opportunity. The prize package is amazing, filled with great stuff!! I am so appreciative and thankful. I also loved the personal thank you note in there, Robert! You rock!! Thanks again!!

I'm not sure if its the reason you are losing weight. I am not knowledgeable enough to post about that, but I just wanted to chime in that I try to avoid soy as much as I can too. It is really really hard. If you look on the back of almost everything " Contains soy" Soy lecithin, soy oil, soy protein etc etc. Its insane how much soy is in almost everything. I just wanted to let you know this, since when I first started trying to cut it out, I wasn't aware exactly how much darn soy products is in almost everything!! Good luck, and if you ever want to talk soy free recipes, let me know lol!

I really enjoy protein powder. I dont think it would hurt to try some. I do a mix of hemp, pea and brown rice. There are a lot of different kinds available online and in stores. I find cheapest places are online, and places like amazon.
