lunches are easy...
1/2 should be veggies:
whatever looks great at your farmer's market;
steamed, stir-fried, grilled, roasted, pickled, however you like it1/4 should be carb:
quinoa, rice, couscous, bread, pita, etc1/4 should be protein:
beans, lentils, egg, hummus, seitan, tempeh, any meat substitute you likemake shit ahead of time so all you have to do in the morning is throw it together. i pack mine in one of these and don't even bother reheating at lunchtime:

- also, a little cooking skills will go a long way. pick up some basic techniques and you can make anything. don't rely on a microwave or others to feed you!scarabin

Im dating a vegan at the moment. Best thing is to shadow them when they shop for groceries.

being vegan is ignorant and ignores your locally available food sources.
ya big dummy
- that doesn't even make sense. squirrels are a locally available food source but you're not eating themscarabin
- I think he does o_0zarkonite
- I think I get this, most vegans I know still get food from tesco. For me that nulls the point of being vegan. Still giving the cunts our money.mugwart
- local farmer's markets...it makes complete sense dude. who says i'm not eating squirrels?doesnotexist
- who says we're not getting our veg at farmer's markets? i even mentioned it in my post abovescarabin
- 90% of my food is local. i even raise my own chickens for eggsscarabin

Hey!
Mushrooms are your friends, why you no want to eat them?
Shit I go to a market just to get the best I can get. Also source decent spices, makes all the difference.Books to help:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Smith-D…I have a board i dump here:
https://uk.pinterest.com/Abysswa…Be prepared to get a barrage of shit from people complaining about vegans.
I can give you loads of recipes but i love my shrooms! Also where are you based? if london based I can point you to few good places.
Source a decent falafel point and worship the hummus.
Avocados and smoked salt (yes you can taste the difference) is another good meal if your in a bind.

if you're somewhere that winter happens, being vegan can be an absurd trend to keep up with. your body will need protein. from meat.
what is the biggest reason to attempt veganisn, you all that are doing it here...?
- animals aren't the only source of protein, and you don't even need that much. it's absurdly easy for a vegan to get all the protein he needs.scarabin

- It's not the protein from meat your body needs, but please, do continue.section_014

- That looks pretty tasty. Any spices on it?noneck
- Yep, equal parts funugreek, fennel, cumin, nigella and brown mustard seeds, a.k.a. panch phoron. I'm not a vegan BTW, this just fit the bill! It's damn good.MrT
- huh - how do brown differ from black mustard seeds? Also, do you use many? I had a weird-tasting curry a few weeks back 'cos I used too many, i thinkdetritus
- Brown and black mustard are the same thing. In this there's about 1/2-1 tsp of each seed. I'm getting my recipe site together!MrT

I know over weight vegans.
Meat is not making you fat, stuffing your face and not moving around is.
- Cut all processed food
- drink water
- eat small meals 4-5 a day
- breakfast is the biggest meal, dinner the lightest
- cut the bread out, aim for 300grams of carbs per day if you must.- move! anything just get off your ass.
- long periods of cardio don't compare to HIIT work outs. I was a distance runner for years, fuck that shit. I only do HIIT sprints and weights now.

> - Cut all processed food
Totally agree. If you're a vegan and all your food comes out of a package, you're doing it wrong.
> - drink water
This applies to everyone
> - eat small meals 4-5 a day
This doesn't matter.
> - breakfast is the biggest meal, dinner the lightest
This also doesn't matter. In fact, lots of people have good success by intermittent fasting until lunch for the first meal
- move! anything just get off your ass.
100% Just get moving.
> - long periods of cardio don't compare to HIIT work outs. I was a distance runner for years, fuck that shit. I only do HIIT sprints and weights now.
Mostly agree, but doing sprints exclusively is not enjoyable for most. I like to do longish bicycle rides with some hard sprints sprinkled in.
As far as fat people, refined sugar is the main culprit. That, coupled with the fact that most (Americans) people get entirely too little fiber in their diets, makes people overweight.

I haven't meet a Vegan that hasn't had a change for the better in real world - though looking online it seems to be though they are not eating animals - they still are trying to live the same as they were before.
Being Vegan just about being healthy its also bring about an end of a cycle.
I cant see this working in the long run as Vegan processed burgers are still full of shit. Fried food is still full of oil.
It is a huge mental shift and requires constant work.
Vegans cakes are nice but they still are made with a shit tonne of fating shit.Cut out all processed food. Look at the backs of packages. Question all that's in there. Analazise your eating plan.
This shouldn't be a vegan only thing!
If you take diets as OS, Windows if a proud meat eater, Mac is a whine vegetarian that still considers bacon plant based, Vegan is bare bones pain in your arse compile everything from source gentoo linux.
My GF and I hardly go into supermarkets as all the Vegan food there, if any (the shit GMO veg they have there isnt veg!) it will be over processed food.
Go to a decent market and get the best spices, steam with your veggies, dont have too much nuts/ pastas. Your shit will thank you for it!
Do this for a month or so and you'll notice.
break your routine, explore new shit... your guts will thank you for it!
My 10p!

"Why even strict vegans should feel comfortable eating oysters by the boatload"
http://www.slate.com/articles/li…
I can't stand seafood, but I was gladdened to read this - particularly in regards to their farming
- there was a old report that oysters dont have a nervous system and there for its okay to eat.mugwart
- the guy that stated this later on said he was wrong.
As a vegan I always thought it was wrongmugwart - That's addressed right there in the article.detritus
