    Dreading christmas dinner with family

    I don't go to any family gatherings anymore, why would you subject yourself to it. I don't drink alcohol either so it's an easy choice. I stay at home and enjoy my music and peace, there's no missing out.

    Relationship clash

    It's their bodies, their choice, their right. They're not forcing you to eat meat. Nothing much is changing for you, just make your own food. If you would be single you'd have to do it too. And if you eat more raw (salads) it will make things a lot easier and faster and you'll be healthier. See...

    Do you use spotify or download from youtube?

    Musicians get next to nothing from Spotify even for millions of plays, meanwhile that company makes millions in profit. It blows my mind when I see music released exclusively on Spotify, it makes zero sense. No way I'll ever get an account. I mostly buy on Bandcamp straight from the musicians...

    Any raw vegans in the house?

    It may pose less stress on your digestive system. I thought it made sense. As always, read it and make up your own mind. "Debunk" is a meaningless word. People will "debunk" gravity or the fact that Earth is a sphere too. ;)

    Any raw vegans in the house?

    Sorry about that. It's a process. Was just reading about food combinations and how it has a major affect on digestion, very interesting. https://acidalkalinediet.net/correct-food-combining-principles.php I'll be quiet now ;)

    Vegan cycling recovery drinks

    I'd keep it simple and get your carbs from food. Would recommend spirulina since it's a complete protein (why does it need to be low protein?). Seeds, nuts and dried fruit post workout.

    I need vital source for all minerals and vitamins

    Spirulina is also great. It's a complete protein with lots of nutrients.

    I give up on vegan-Please help

    Also Tadpole, our ancesters ate meat out of necessity, because they didn't know any better and there were not always vegetables and fruit available, let alone important things like nuts, now we have supermarkets stacked with them. And are we humans not nature? We are not apart from it, we are...

    Constantly craving junk food

    Try eating dried fruit like dates, figs, raisins, combined with nuts daily. You will be full faster but your body will need some time to adjust and for the first couple of days you may crave even more and the extra fiber might give you the runs a little, but it will pass. Also try adding curry...

    I give up on vegan-Please help

    Why care what other people say or eat, vegan or not. Diet is an individual choice and it's nobody else's business. Sometimes I wonder why I'm here but I guess I'm still somewhat delusional thinking that sharing information is helpful when often people turn it into a contest of right and wrong...
