I buy Vitasoy Calciplus (Light), as that tastes good, but is also fortified with vitamin B12. That's the only nutrient it's hard to get when you're vegan.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14349949766650578072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12231828.post-1149764259979051372006-06-08T20:57:00.000+10:002006-06-08T20:57:00.000+10:00I think I'm also mildly lactose intolerant - judgi...I think I'm also mildly lactose intolerant - judging by previous, ehm, 'reactions'. I was as a child too.<BR/><BR/>I've got myself some soy icecream in the freezer I might crack open tonight too - in terms of milk tho, I only ever had it with cereal so I'm only missing it a lil... i think the brie and the pizza shapes might be a lil harder.<BR/><BR/>I'm still only a week or so in, but I think that shoes/clothes shopping may also bring some interesting situations...<BR/><BR/>And at least you're still aware - so whatever decisions you make, they're still making some difference! And if it's not for you, then it's not for you and it's just that easy - I've noticed there's a LOT of veg*n nazi's out there on the forums with some serious ego/superiority issues...!!!Ennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613379734506337694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12231828.post-1149761600091329282006-06-08T20:13:00.000+10:002006-06-08T20:13:00.000+10:00I was a vege for years and am also mildly lactose ...I was a vege for years and am also mildly lactose intolerant so I can understand your pain at the supermarket.<BR/><BR/>Do you like soy milk? 'Cause it's a great way to maintain calcium levels and some of it tastes ok. I like Vitasoy Calci Plus High Fibre.<BR/><BR/>I still feel guilty about animal cruelty so I try to eat only organic/anti-biotic free meat and chicken.

I went out and bought myself a book of 400 vegan recipes today - if I find any REALLY good ones I'll share too! I think it's the way to go - avoid it as much as much as I possibly can - I'm still learning what ingredients are part of animals! Tho I did find some cookies and some lindt chocolate today which are passable - hooray!<BR/><BR/>I won't go nuts on carbs - the only way I'm getting my beans in is thru humous n falaffel atm, so there' usually some carb with that, but I do tend to lean towards the wholemeals atm. That's why I bought the spiro-thangs - so I can get the protein and greener nutrients that I may miss out on.<BR/><BR/>TJ - Ta's! I have actually seen that one before - she does seem to have LOTS of good ideas! (Tho I don't know if I could raise a child as vegan?!)<BR/><BR/>Angela - I always declared myself meatertarian!!! Tho I could never eat mince - something about the consistency... and yeah - the milk thing IS odd! It was even a lil odd watching Stewie feeding on Family Guy - and that was his mum (and another lady, but that's another story...). Atm I've been having toast for brekkie instead of my dry cereal with a lil milk - it's the only time I was really drinking it.<BR/><BR/>Steph - Ta's too!

I don't really eat much meat as it is... but i'm not sure i have the commitment to cut it out all together, and it would be especially hard to give milk and cheese the flick. I guess the only resolution i've made so far and intend to stick to, is that i'm not eating anything minced.<BR/><BR/>Get this- i tried to go veggie once before as a teenager, but decided i couldn't hack it as i couldn't <I>bear</I> to give up sausage rolls!<BR/><BR/>And i read the PETA pamphlet.. i found what was said about milk pretty interesting. And now i really think about it, it is completely weird to drink the milk of another species- particularly as humans seem to be the only ones doing it. Disturbing mental picture is rows of women lined up in sheds getting their breasts squeezed in the same way a cow would.

You also should try and have one legume meal a day (lentils/chickpeas/beans/etc). Turning to carbs is not a good thing. Especially if you eat a lot of white refined flours. You'll not get enough nutrients, make yourself sick, and probably start putting on weight. Bread is not a good substitute for other wholsome foods. I have discovered this the hard way.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14349949766650578072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12231828.post-1149179479598452062006-06-02T02:31:00.000+10:002006-06-02T02:31:00.000+10:00Enny - when I stopped eating meat I went full vega...Enny - when I stopped eating meat I went full vegan (eating wise anyway - I still use wool. I can't get away from that in my profession) I have only recently started eating eggs again (two a day - I am addicted), and occasionally dairy. Mostly at friends houses or at restaurants where it's too much hassle to question every single ingredient put into a dish.<BR/><BR/>If you want any recipes, let me know. I have tonnes - I'm in the kitchen all the time. I also have an excellent collection of vegan recipe books, so, if you need some inspiration, email!<BR/><BR/>PS - Mushrooms rule 4eva!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14349949766650578072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12231828.post-1149164129915062372006-06-01T22:15:00.000+10:002006-06-01T22:15:00.000+10:00*Luuuuuuurves Mushrooms!*However - the vegetable c...*Luuuuuuurves Mushrooms!*<BR/><BR/>However - the vegetable curry sauce for our vegetable stirfry had some yoghurt in it... methinks I'm going to have to ease into the vegan thing - it's a LOT harder than I imagined...Ennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613379734506337694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12231828.post-1149163709867243762006-06-01T22:08:00.000+10:002006-06-01T22:08:00.000+10:00Does this mean you're going to go eating mushrooms...Does this mean you're going to go eating mushrooms?
