Hey everyone, I am Silvija and I have been plant-based for over three years. I am passionate about healthy nutrition and happy and healthy living. I am learning every day and have started a blog, barefootbasil.com, where I write about the topics that I am interested in food, nutrition, exercise...

Hi all I have been a lifelong veggie (parents) and transitioned to vegan just over a year ago. I am not a foodie at all (bland eater like same things etc) I eat because I have to to live vs enjoy food. I do care a lot about my health (I don't smoke or drink Alchol at all) and I'm fairly...

Hello, I have been vegan for just over 3 years, at first it was going great as I was maintaining my strength in the gym whilst losing fat. However more recently I haven't been doing too well, throughout lockdown I didn't take care of my diet and ate not so good. Earlier this year I started to...

Vegan Omega 3 from Algae absorbs better than fish oil in the body, it saves the ocean fish life. Why would anyone like to eat fish oil, not just for Vegan reasons, but for health and environment too. I will change the fish oil industry, into Algae. Please have a look and recommend me...

Hi everyone, new here! I've been vegetarian my whole life, and vegan for just over 4 years. I have never been tempted by eggs or dairy since I transitioned until now. I've been suffering from horrific endometriosis pains, and am on heavy painkillers which have destroyed my appetite. Weirdly...

I have recently started eating a vegan diet and I have been eating legumes (black and kidney beans) and nuts (almonds and brazil nuts) to help me reach my calorie goals and for the protein. However whenever I eat any of these I get stomach pain and cramps for a while afterwards and it can be...

In the first instance, I´d like to apologize for my poor writing, English is not my main language and I couldn´t achieve the information I required on local forums. I´m 17, from Spain, and I would like to become vegan in order to decrease my environmental impact. These are the facts, I suffer...

So after doing research on veganism and health/environment topics I usually come to the same conclusion, my head hurts from the fact that there is so much contradicting information. John Rose goes into more depth about it if you ever watched his videos on YouTube. But why is there so much...

Hello all, I am a final year nutrition undergraduate carrying out a study on the motivations to becoming vegan, where an individual gets there nutritional knowledge/information from and whether this impacts nutritional intake. I am looking for anyone who follows a vegan diet to fill out a...

Hi dear Vegan community! This week I had a doctor appointment to discuss my B12 deficiency. She gave me a Liquid containing 1000mcg Methylcobalamin per ml and told me to take 3ml (3000mcg) per day for the first two weeks and then continue taking 1ml (1000mcg) per day. As the DGE (Germany's...

Hey all, first time poster here So my story is, I'm 25, normally active male, been Veggie for year and a half and then I transitioned to Vegan a month ago. Even though I was a veggie when it happened I guess you guys are the pros at this. I got an injury to my right forearm sports climbing...

Hi all, I guess my problem isn't specifically a vegan one, so sorry if it's wrong to post here, but I know the answers I'm going to get elsewhere will involve eating meat & dairy, and I just don't have the energy to deal with that right now. Basically, I'm usually a pretty healthy person - I...

Hi Guys! I'm fairly new to the forum and hopefully a thread on this topic doesn't exist... :) I am just curious to know if any of you have seen a nutrition professional at any point on your vegan journey. If so, what was the reason for it? And if no, why not? If you had enough money or time...

Hello. As explained in my introduction: "I am joining this forum for a friend. This friend of mine has described himself as "vegetarian by choice, but effectively vegan because of allergies." Those allergies are a problem for him, because it has made it difficult for him to gain weight, which...

I’m researching the challenges that people face when following a vegan diet and how technology might help. Please could you help me by answering 5 quick questions? 1. What do you find hard about being a vegan? (Or the idea of being a vegan?) 2. Do you plan ahead regarding what you eat and, if...
