| Vegetarian | tempeh? | Jun 29 2009 02:58 (UTC) |

i agree w/ boiling it first. for me it makes it taste better. but i could eat it either way. its good crumbled and used as a ground meat substiute. i've also used it in stir fries, and my meat eating BF loved it. if you like it spicy: http://www.theppk.com/recipes/dbrecipes/index .php?RecipeID=2060

| Vegetarian | Veggie burger?!?! | Jun 29 2009 02:55 (UTC) |

the sunshine brand veggie burgers are amazing. soooo good. more expensive than the boca or morningstar brand, but taste better in my opinion. also, try making your own. its very easy and you can pick and chose the ingredients to suit your taste. they will probably be much healthier than the frozen kind, too i used to make a bean burger using red kidney beans, bread crumbs, ketchup, mustard, and whatever spices i felt like at the time. pan fry it and you are ready to go! |

i like having "mexican potaotes" I baked it (or microwave if i am feeling lazy), cut it open, and add black beans, sauted peppers and onions and salsa. Also tastes great with sweet potatoes. |

all of the rice and almond cheese ive seen at whole foods have had milk derivatives in them.... but it is a smaller store so hopefully you have better luck |

edamame! you can get it frozen and already shelled... just heat up in the microwave.... delicious. can be used in stri fries or just eaten as is with a little soy sauce. also amazing with couscous or quinoa w/ other veggies |

i second the peanut butter and banana idea. they are delicious together. apples and peanut butter as well. perhaps you could make a batch of homemade granola type bars? |

any little bit of effort helps! just cutting down on animal products with helps. (almond breeze is delicious!) if being a full vegan will bring back ED tendencies, then just stick with what you are doing! good luck! |

| Vegetarian | tofu, seitan | Mar 21 2009 20:10 (UTC) |
|
tofu is great marinated and baked or sauted. i also use it in tofu scrambles... saute up veggies such as mushrooms, onions and spinach them crumble the tofu in the pan and cook until the tofu is browned. add any spices you like. I also mash it up with some soy mayo and mustard and spices and use it instead of egg salad. Seitan is wheat gluten and has a texture more consistant w/ meat. i love it in stir fries. recently i used it with sauted mushrooms onions and peppers as a "steak and cheese". delish |

| Vegetarian | Why the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle? | Mar 20 2009 14:38 (UTC) |
21 |
a vegan lifestyle is much better for the environment as well. i forget the exact numbers, but the amount of food/energy that goes into producing 1 lb of meat is soooo much greater than 1 lb of wheat. the main reason for deforestation is for cattle grazing. The majority of the corn grown is used as livestock feed, not for human consumption.
I think all the other reasons have been stated already lol |

you could also use it as a motivation at the gym. say if you know you are going out that night, spend an extra 15 minutes on the tredmil and bam! thats another drink!
also, if you like dancing, def go to a club or bar w/ live band. dance away those drinks! |

| Maintaining | Defining the "Binge" | Mar 08 2009 17:43 (UTC) |

a binge can mean different things to different people. Most people, eating everything in the house is considered a binge. To someone who is anorexic, maybe eating an extra bowl of cereal IS a binge to them. The same guilty feelings and shame occur, just with alot less food. |

O'Soy yogurt has milk derivatives in it i believe. if you look at the ingredients it says includes soy and milk.... sucks i know.

i know exactly what you are talking about. Sometimes you just have to stop, take a deep breathe, and move on. It is extremely hard to look at myself in the mirror and smile if i eat alot that day. But your logic is right, there is no way your body changed that drastically in the course of a day.

| Vegetarian | Why is it so hard to go vegetarian? | Dec 14 2008 16:38 (UTC) |

what helped me when i first converted was just taking away one type of meat at a time. i stopped eating red meat, then stopped eating chicken and eventually cut out fish as well. it allowed me to learn new things to eat so i didnt just eat pasta and salad every day :)

| Fitness | exercising before or after? | May 20 2008 00:31 (UTC) |

it depends on how i feel when i wake up. if i am absolutely STARVING ill eat a banana immediately when i wake up, then get dressed, brush my teeth and go. then when i get back i shower and have a real breakfast. if im not starving i don't eat. but i always try to drink atleast 16 ounces of water before im out the door. i find if i don't drink enough water before im worse off then not eating before.
