Vegan Aquafaba Whipped Cream Recipe - Low fat!

2018-03-24T19:00:07.000Z

Wanted to share this! This low fat vegan whipped cream recipe turned out way better than I could have imagined. It fluffed up really nicely and doesn't use coconut cream, it uses aquafaba, which is much lower in fat. I ate it with some raw banana ice cream!

Check out how to make it:

Issues with Bananas....

2016-04-20T21:55:40.000Z

So, I have eaten and loved bananas all my life however having started to transition to this lifestyle I have had some issues with them - i presume due to the quantity. I have experienced a lot of bloating and gas and I am pretty sure that it's the bananas as every time I eat them I can literally hear my stomach start to churn.

I am transitioning from a high fat vegan diet and have been following a high carb low fat vegan diet now for over two weeks and the symptoms haven't eased.. I thought at first it was dates but I cut them out and churning and gas has persisted.

I really want to go properly raw till 4 but wanted to ease into it, but now I am concerned to do it.

FYI I am a healthy, active 21 year old and not suffering from stress.

At the moment I am eating:

Meal 1: 5-10 bananas for breakfast

M 2: Cooked meal aka rice and veggies

M 3: mono fruit meal

M 4: Salad and fruit

Has anyone else had this kind of problem?

If so let me know!! Thanks x

Anyone have a fruity/health related blog?

2016-01-10T03:47:36.000Z

Hi everyone!

Recently I made a blog on WordPress, my user is PainlessEats. Writing is one of my favorite outlets to discuss veganism, raw veganism, fruitarianism, health, fitness, personal development, and the correlation between fruit and mythology/ancient text/theology.

If anyone else has a blog, please share!

What's up gang!

2016-01-02T11:05:36.000Z

What's up vegan gang, my name is Wippe and I'm from Finland. Been vegan now for almost 1.5 years and the diet and the amazingly inspirational people involved (mainly the youtube peeps) have really changed how I view and act in life. The energy, positivity, mindset, motivation, work ethic, confidence, all of them have sky rocketed in my life and I feel so thankful that I found this lifestyle so early in my life. I have gained so much knowledge in just one year and felt so empowered to reach for my goals by just watching bunch of carbed up champs speaking about stuff that I really haven't heard of focused before. And it all made so much sense to me.

So that's pretty much why I'm writing this right now, I have finally grown some balls and started my own youtube channel to maybe start empowering others the same way people have empowered me and also to connect with other like minded people. You never really can't have too many vegan friends.

At the moment it's mostly the regular stuff: vlogs, tips&tricks, foodporn, exercising etc. But I have bunch of bigger ideas floating around my head all the time so I really try to do some fancier stuff in there too! So would love it, if you guys would check it out and at least let me know what you think! And if you got any questions or just want to chat, contact me on youtube, facebook or here and let's talk! ;)

Ohh yeah another shameless plug when we are at it! I do this thing called tricking and it's basically mix of gymnastics/acrobatics and martial arts so if you find flips, kicks and twists interesting go check out our new vegan trickers instagram account! Also lot's of vegan food porn there too ;)

Thanks for those who read thru this and let's keep killin' those old beliefs rather than the animals!

How to debate against Low Carb - No Fructose

2015-10-11T01:19:16.000Z

Gday, my partner is not vegan and knows the person who runs, nofructose dot com.

I want to be able to challenge her ideas on a scientific level so I am starting this thread inviting help.

Some things she says are:

But the coconut water is sweet, it must have sugar in it, sugar is bad, I don't want it.

Carbs are bad. I am not eating the rice.

Brand New Fruitarian/ 80 10 10. NEED HELP!

2015-05-18T18:30:17.000Z

Hey guys i posted this somewhere else on this site but i feel this is a better place to:

Ate SAD for first 19 years of my life. I'm coming off a year of Paleo/Primal. Wasnt a very smart decision... i got severe IBS.

How do you guys get enough calories??!?!? I can eat 12-14 bananas for breakfast and be hungry 2 hours later...

i tried adding dates and now my teeth turned yellow, and hurt SOOO bad. One of my teeth actually has pieces breaking off.

i brush, floss, oil pull everything!

Also my muscle seems to be depleting. I used to be extremely cut, and imo im getting fatter, not gaining weight though. Just less muscle. abs less defined, look less vascular. I notice my hair is also falling our more frequently than normal.

I really want to do this diet! for ETHICAL, satisfaction(not have to binge on unhealthy foods), and performance reasons! What am i doing wrong here? Everyone on this forum seems to have vibrant health, while mine is deteriorating. I want to be apart of this community but not at the expense of my health. If an experienced veteran could step in and give me some guidance i'd appreciate it.

Why I initially gained 60 lbs on the High Carb Vegan Diet

2015-05-14T22:01:43.000Z

Hey everyone!

I'm starting this discussion because I feel it is important to share what can happen and WHY if you come to this unlimited calorie/carbohydrate lifestyle after years and years worth of dieting and calorie restriction (aka metabolic damage), like myself! I came to this lifestyle in March 2012 after yo-yo dieting, calorie/carb restricting, fasting, taking stimulants and laxatives, smoking, drinking alcohol, binge/purging, and overexercising since 2006. My health was suffering severely (anorexia symptoms, digestive disorder, hormonal imbalances), so within one year of following this diet and lifestyle my weight went from an anorexic 120 lbs to a slightly overweight 185 lbs (I'm 5'11"), whilst experiencing immediate improvements in my digestion, hormones, sleep, skin, mental state, and overall health. I just published a very detailed blog post all about my experience here: http://www.nutritionbyvictoria.com/blog/why-i-initially-gained-60-lbs-on-a-high-carb-vegan-diet

I hope that you find the blog post helpful for your recovery if you are experiencing weight gain on this diet. Just know that it's NOT permanent! By sticking to the high carb low fat, unlimited calorie diet and lifestyle (sufficient sleep, water, exercise) you will recover the FASTEST, heal the QUICKEST, and experience weight loss EFFORTLESSLY once your body is ready to target the excess weight (after healing is complete). Initially, weight gain is absolutely necessary in order to turn the wheels of the healing cascade. My weight plateaued after the 1st year, and remained within 5-10 lbs of that weight gain after 2 years. After year 2, my weight started to shift downward, permanently. I've now lost a total of 30 lbs since coming to this lifestyle back in March 2012, and I'm experiencing the best health of my life!

Thank you so much for reading and feel free to leave me any comments/questions!

Can we talk about what meat-eaters say to me?

2015-04-28T14:34:10.000Z

They keep telling me that there were tribes that would eat meat and tribes that would eat plants and that tribes who ate meat would always win the one's that consumed plants. And I'm like yeah and what? Are we in war now? We CAN cook rice and pasta and we HAVE ENOUGH fruits. Come on man..... What else can I say to them?Also, they say to me that people living in cold regions in countries can't have a vegan diet because they have to protect themselves with fish mostly (or meat). And that they aren't the same as people who live in warm places. What about this? I think I need to investigate more so I don't turn blank although I always try to make some good explanations. There must be a perfect explanation of these too. If they would try the vegan diet they wouldn't say anything bad about it, being vegan is feeling awesome. Fresh fruits and plant based food plus you get so connected to nature.. Ahh..... They really should try it haha. Thank you for taking your time for reading this. Let's talk!

VITAMIN B12 QUESTIONS

2015-04-24T19:46:50.000Z

Hey fruit people! So... I took aprox. 25 pills of vegan multivitamins for a month everyday and it contained close to 75 mcg of B12. I was wondering if that would stay in my body for a long time? And how often should I take it? I'd love if you'd give me some advices. Thank you. P.S. I'm fifteen and high carb low fat and sometimes I eat cooked food but always abundant fruit at the morning.

Getting started on YouTube but intimidated! Help please?

2015-04-08T00:55:34.000Z

Hey guys, so I've created a YouTube and a couple videos. The channel is going to be primarily promoting being high carb low fat vegan but at the same time I would like to showcase my art and violin as well. I posted two but they don't show up in search results yet as I have 0 subscribers.

Can anyone help me out and subscribe to my channel and share?

Also can I have some tips for how to get started on YouTube? I'm extremely intimidated and just trying to find my voice so to speak. I could really change lives and influence people if people can just hear what I have to say in the first place!!

Thanks!

Cooked Before 4?

2015-03-06T10:09:36.000Z

Breakfast: 4 Bananas (400ish calories)+10 dates (what I presume are Medjool dates: 600 calories)

Lunch: A huge salad (at least 250 calories)+2 cups of rice (450 calories)+mashed eggplant curry (120 calories) with less than a quarter cup of kidney beans (70 calories)

Dinner: 3 baked potatoes (483 calories)

TOTAL: 2373

I had no choice but to eat cooked for lunch due to the unavailability of fresh/ripe fruit. Is this bad? I made sure to have only vegan throughout the day but does the fact that I had cooked food before dinner hamper my journey? Is my caloric count too low?

Bloating

2015-02-16T21:34:02.000Z

Hey.. I'm wondering if anyone can help guide me in the right direction. I have IBS and even eating good vegan food (high carb) it hasn't gone away in 1.5 years. I also have edema even though I regularly exercise.

This affects my stomach, I would like a flatter tummy/smaller waist but I just can't seem to get it. My stomach from the front seems fine, but from the side it comes out farther than I want it to, I know it's not fat because it's not like saggy, it just looks full, like bloat/undigested foods. It's very frustrating.

As for my edema, my legs (thighs) get bloated very quickly. With walking, biking, most exercises actually. It's painful and uncomfortable and it's noticable for sure.

I don't even know how I would look without these problems but I'm sure a lot better, so any help would be great as I've been in a plateau for far too long.

for anyone coming from eating disorders

Frustrating, my stomach feels empy

2015-02-01T18:21:29.000Z

Hi fruit bats!
Allow me to start with the problem I have. I recently had a tasting / high tea. I did binge (not until I was sick) I had no problem with it, and still do not. It actually was not a binge because I enjoy it and learned my valuable lesson. After this, my stomach felt empty this whole week. It is not full and I crave things like (things salty and fatty processed stuff) urgh. Is this kind of experince normal after a high tea and if you ate a lot? Because I feel stuffed after 2500 kcals for a day normally. But now I dont feel satisfied with3500 ?! (healthy eating) my stomach is like an empty hole. I do not like the feeling of an empty hole. And another problem. Whenever I CTFU ... I have muscle pain. and I know what you say eat more eat more but I already eat minimum 3000 calories with little movement. I normally feel already full with 2500 and no I can guarantee you , I dont have an empthy hole because this always happens after an bad eating meal but this feeling lasts now a week.

Did someone had a similar problem and how do you deal with it?

My english sucks I know

Thanks for reading this.

ps: my bad habits of detoxing is restricting myself for an week to eat non cooked foods if I crave bad things. This helps me a lot but I dont want to restrict myself other food groups. I like potatoes.

this is an high tea

Tips for a beginner?

2014-12-25T20:16:12.000Z

Hey guys,

I've only very recently been introduced to this 80/10/10 concept and, despite it contradicting a lot of what I've been taught about nutrition, it makes sense and I decided to give it a shot. I did a little test run yesterday—I ate only cherries, bananas, and frozen mixed berries. It was going well until my body FLIPPED out and I had a need to eat salty, crunchy, savory things. So I ate a Quorn chick'n cutlet (terrible, I know), tortilla chips, and a few other things. Does anyone know what might have caused this craving, and how to prevent it?

I'm assuming this happens when you don't eat enough calories/carbs. I admit that I've been on a chronically low calorie diet, because I can't afford a lot of produce so I figure not eating at all is better than eating crap. I average 500-1,000 calories per day. The idea of eating more than one piece of fruit at a time is alien to me, let alone 5-10 pieces. So I am going to try one week of full on 80/10/10. I know it is more prudent to integrate the lifestyle slowly, but I want to fix my diet as soon as possible. It's gotten out of hand and I'm sick of it. I transitioned from enthusiastic omnivore to strict vegan overnight, cold turkey, and I managed that quite smoothly. I think I can handle a swift, drastic dietary change. I would just like some advice on how to prevent cravings and other pitfalls as much as possible. I'd also like some advice on how to make sure I meet my caloric needs. For example, which fruits are the most calorie dense that I should be eating plenty of? I don't have tons of money to spend, so I don't want to waste money on fruits that won't fuel me.

Thanks!

RAW VEGAN. DAY 1...ISH.

2014-12-03T21:49:54.000Z

Hey guys!
So it will be 5 months on the 16th that i've been vegan! (It sounds CRAZY to even say it oh my god!!!) :D
SO. Recently, I've been experimenting with the fully raw diet as i feel like my digestion is doing its own thing with certain cooked foods.
Its been hard as some days, knowing i am going to have the same exact salad as i did the day before, puts me off.
However, I have been mixing it up a bit and I've finally ordered a spiralizer to make raw noodles! (courgette, cucumber, carrots, all that jazz.)
Im still working on becoming fully raw, but it is hard whilst being a student for one and living with parents. They can just about get their heads around me being a vegan and on rawtill4. :')
I think whilst i'm living at home and with christmas coming up, have 5 days out of 7 raw or just have sunday as a cooked meal day.
I dont bloat as much after salads, but of course i wouldn't as they're not exactly 'heavy' lol.
But ANYWAY, I was just hoping for some advice with this diet!
Any recipes? mostly for dinner as breakfast is always my trusty 'nana smoothie ;-)
Thanks!
