I have always felt that the body knows what it needs, if I feel like eating something I will eat it. I don't get hungry if I do cardio at all, I lose my appetite totally and I can't eat for some time after it (I mean like days). If I'm outside all day walking and taking pictures, things like that (slow things), then I get a huge appetite after it, which is great. Also lifting weights gets me hungry. Pilates and yoga don't seem to have an impact on my appetite.

That's the point, it seems so to you and that's what people are like, if it seems so then it must be true, even if there is no evidence to support it. This is also the core of causality.

Thanks Has anyone bought the book My Sweet Vegan? It is a vegan dessert book and it's supposed to be really good. I'm not sure if it has many gluten-free recipes though.

Those look really good, I love peanut butter. I just bought that book a month ago and I have tried only one recipe; we baked some chocolate cupcakes with my sister. They turned out really perfect, I'm sure the other recipes are just as good. I want to try the gluten-free cupcakes too someday. These are some vegan cupcakes I made, these are all also gluten-free: Blueberry cupcake- http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2024/2239377832_999aacd3bf.jpg Chocolate, peanut butter and rum cupcakes: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2196/2238586903_b9c9e8e97c.jpg Saffron and white chocolate cupcakes, the frosting melted due to my impatience therefore it looks a bit strange: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2301/2310561206_0ca6cb0e54.jpg This is not a cupcake, it's a chocolate and fig mini-cake, I like mini-cakes more than cupcakes: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3093/2298447204_004b7b6372.jpg And then a white chocolate and raspberry mini-cake: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3005/2339907587_d7d58e3891.jpg

I had the same feeling just before easter; I was out buying food and there were so many people shopping for food because of easter and they were buying meat, meat and more meat. They seemed so stressed out, angry and grotesque in a way. I just stopped for a moment to watch them, it was so bizarre and sickening. There was especially this one man who was shouting and swearing at his boy, who was something like 7 years old, and at the same time he was touching and feeling pieces of lamb. I don't usually care about stuff like people buying and eating meat, I just keep to myself, but that whole shopping trip was so strange and in a way sad.

I've been doing this for a couple of days now, this seems to be easier than eating 3 bigger meals a day and I already feel much better. I have my rice protein now and it wasn't as ing as I've heard, I still eat a bit tofu though, but no soy milk or soy yogurt. I hope I'll continue feeling good this way.

This is true with all small groups, I think, and especially amongst people who build their identity around an "ism".

You rat is lovely I used to be scared of rats, but I changed my mind when I was working at a animal shelter and I got to know some rats; they are really smart and actually quite lovely.

I actually read more regular food blogs than vegan ones. http://www.tastespotting.com/ is a site I check out daily, I've had some of my photos there too. I keep my own food blog and taking photos is somewhat of a hobby for me, maybe I should check out more food blogs because of that, but I don't always have time. http://havecakewilltravel.com/ is maybe one of my favorite vegan food blogs because I like the photos, they are so "clean" in a way and the photographer has a great eye I think. http://www.flickr.com/ is great for foodporn, I especially like the pictures from Seitti

What a lovely place and beautiful animals! Did that pig only have one eye?

I never have problems when I eat fruit with other foods, I'm not saying that food combining isn't right for some, but for me it doesn't matter.

In the third picture they look somewhat greyish green, very much the same as my eyes. In those previous pictures they looked more brown. I think that Lean and Grean has that same red/yellow/brown color around the pupil? Both of you have clear eyes, something vegans often have and the general population not so much. Does anyone here know of iridiology? I have this one book about it and it's quite interesting.

It's strange that so many children are like that. I once watched this documentary about a girl who just didn't eat anything at all. She had to be fed through a tube placed in her stomach. That's how I felt too when I started eating normal portions and at normal times, I didn't understand how people could eat that much. I'm used to it now and I do feel better, most importantly I have much more energy, but I still forget to eat sometimes, especially if I'm busy.

But I do use shampoo, it wasn't my intention to give the impression that I've tried the no-shampoo thing. I know people who have tried it and their hair has gotten thicker and is in better condition. Maybe I'll try going without shampoo some day. I have left out skin cleaners and skin creams though, and my skin is much better now, there is no need for things like that, so I think it might be the same with shampoo. I have also heard that washing with a conditioner would be much better than washing with shampoo; that might be some kind of a middle ground between the no-shampoo thing and normal hair-care? Did you mix the essentials oils with something else? Essentials oils are very drying and "hard" if not mixed with some other oil first. That is cheap, I haven't found it that cheaply from here. I wonder why it's so expensive here?
