    Stressed out about medication

    I take medicine because I NEED to. I've been taking thyroxine since I was an 8 month old baby as I was born with an under active thyroid. I now take it in liquid form as the tablet form contains lactose. I can't not take this medicine. Even failing to take the odd dose makes me sluggish. I...

    Is this amount of exercise excessive?

    Hello everyone. Sorry it's taken this long to get back to you all. I would be out exercising but it's raining quite heavily at the moment so I've decided to stay in and update you all. Even though it makes me feel a right wimp. Thanks for all the advice. I now have a BMI of 18. A few weeks...

    What does veganism protect you from?

    Thanks everyone for your replies. My BMI is now 19 so I've lost a lot of weight since I stopped over eating and improved my diet. I avoid eating food high in saturated fat although I do eat some food with mono and poly unsaturated fat such as nuts and nut butter. As I'm still losing weight too...

    What does veganism protect you from?

    I'm not vegan for health reasons. I'm vegan because I care about the animals. However I do think being vegan does help me both mentally and physically. I'm sure that veganism protects you from getting food poisoning as most of the most serious food poisoning happens with meat. As I was once...

    Hello, hello, & hello

    Hello and welcome! I eat a lot of melon and blue berries which both contain lots of vitamin C. I try to eat lots with vitamin C because it helps with Iron absorption and I need to have enough Iron to give blood.

    Hey there

    Hello and welcome! Good luck trying to abolish factory farming. It really needs to go. I ate meat until I visited this agricultural college and was shocked by the conditions the farm animals were kept in. I didn't go vegan overnight. First I tried to source my meat but that turned out...

    Hi :)

    Hello and Welcome! I've been there too. I was Anorexic once and was heading that way again when I became vegan. I found being vegan gave me strength to fight my disorder. Although I'm currently a bit obsessive about my diet and try to exercise as much as I possibly can although not quite as...

    Hello

    Hello and Welcome! I became vegan in 2004. I was pescatarian before that. I tried to go vegan over 10 years before but it was before I went on the internet so I didn't really know much so I allowed my neighbour to talk me out of it. I wish I'd stayed vegan back then.
