ok i'm NOT goignot do it. I have never felt so unwell in my life. i know i got all the 'i told you so' but ..... but i cant explain.. everything is to intence right now.. i wish i coudl just stop eating all together. I HATE FOOD!!!

ok ok i'm not going to call it Stkins.. i'll just call it glycogenises.... there...

well soy milk, coconut, nuts, leak and other low carb veggies, tofu... advocado... it's bound to work.. i will keep you updated! i'm starting tomorrow as today i had to finish all my lefovers because i dont like throwing away food.

YEP... my E.D and veganism go hand in hand... i find i can cope better with life and eating disorder whist being vegan. This way i think i allow mysel to eat a little more and feel less anxiety.

my sleep is disturbed as i live in a uni dorm and people are up and about all hrs of the night slamming doors.... but this is not always the case, they are quiet most of the time... but occasionaly it will go on for 2-3 days. lately everyone has been rather quiet.

i know all about the atkins diet and i was thinking i'd do a vegan option for a week for two and see how it works out for me. I have a menu all planned and ready and it's all vegan and i have my keto strips all ready. i'm going ot get super slim for summer! does anyone want to join?? it would be great to have a buddy! let me know.

over here our apples are very waxy!!! but the funny thing is that they come off out tree and so are organic but the apples create their own wax it's very unusual.... the aapples here are smart!

My boss sugested i try some spirilina.. so i bought a jar and i have been adding it to my juice in the morning.... maybe it's all placebo but i feel more energised on it!

wow thats cool! i didnt know you can do that. will the iron be heam or non heam? I cooked lintils for the first time yesterdaya dn they taste great. i think i need to cook a larger variety of foods. I am feeling better todayt tho and felt pretty good yesterday aswell... it was just on the day that i had work i think.. I woudl like to get some nettle iron but i dont know where i can get it from.

oh great photos! i love seeing everyone

I was wondering what your views are on processed foods are, for eg vegan friendly vegetarian sausages. I personally don’t like these types of foods, as they taste so artificial. At the moment I can only eat fruit/vegetables and rice, anything pre packaged gives me stomachaches and makes me bloated. I also find it disturbing when I read the back of the labels and see so many scary looking ingredients (most represented my numbers). There is one type of vegan friendly sausages that I like, they are more on the gourmet side and have actual pieces of vegetables in them but they are rather expensive. It would be interesting to see what the rest of the world offers to it’s vegans, but here in Australia we don’t seem to have a great deal.

I have just started to go the gym and run in the morning. And I love it, however I’m so week. Yesterday I could not walk to class and when I sat in the car to drive there I just wanted to close my eyes and sleep. I don’t have time to cook big meals but I do eat nuts and sandwiches, veggies and cereal and fruit. I bought some organic iron but that didn’t help so not I’m popping Ginseng and Ginkgo every time I feel I’m about to fall asleep because it is helping a little. Is this just an initial side effect of resuming more strenuous exercise? Oh my god I can’t keep this up, I get at least 2500 calories everyday. I"m scared that it might be iron... i dont want it to be the case, i dont want to eat meat!!!!!!! plz help

i get that to. but i lay in bed to tired to move. it's not like i can read or anything... i just cant get to sleep

I developed polycystic ovaries after being on the pill.... 12 months worth of eggs that wornt alowed to ovulate.... stupid pill... they dont tell you what it really does!

but my i find lectures very beneficial.... i'll just cut out on sleep time... i'm starting to sleep less and getting back into the rythem of learning and not sleeping

womens weekly, 'great vegetairan food' Carl Lewis presents , 'very vegeterian' and Sarah Kramer, 'La Dolce Vegan!' wish i had more time to cook tho.

WHAT! hehehe thats naughty!!

I went to Borders today and bought 2 vegan and 1 vegetarian (with vegan alternative) cook books, there so BEAUTIFUL and NEW and best of all there MINE! I spent a small fortune on them, but it was so worth it because now I can cook my little heart out

for me it was 3 days on the toilet.... but i'm glad coz i elt so much better after that. I usually recommend a good antioxidant to people who are detoxing and have had a history of very very poor diet, heavy smoking and have abused alcohol in the past. This is because as you detox your body releases al this crap into your system and if there is a lot of dangerous crap around it can kill you…. For eg. If ‘FAT BASTARD’ from Austin powers went on a raw food diet, he’d probably have a stroke…. Well that’s what I was told by my boss… and I work at a health food and vitamin store..

In winter and on cold days i like taking a bath... not that i get to do that alot these days as my house does not have a bath and i have to go to parents house to have one. i also like doing something that is not study related. music always helps aswell. sometimes i cant relax my brain just tences up

Hey i'm in the same situation! i'm doing an extra subject on top of my usual amount and i have to work as i'm renting to. we can do this together.... just think, it's not that long and there are holidays atthe end of it all.

Well holidays are finished and as for today I have commenced second semester of university and as of Wednesday part time work and as of about now I’m entering the world of panic attacks…. I have 3 essays already. I just want to say that I’m not going to as active as I have been for the fast 2 weeks because I’m going to busy. But I will still come on every week. I’m also commencing training to I might start a training journal I miss the forum already, you guys are my only vegan link.. and it's going to be annoying having to explain my eating habbits to my house mates..... bleh!

Welcome

hmmmm i get told i'll get very very sick and weak... yet i still have my love handles welcome!

Welcome ! i'm only here to..
