Hi! I am new to this lifestyle. I have been vegan off and on again for 4 years after the birth of my daughter. I realized I was allergic to dairy products, and then watched Food Inc. and some other documentaries. I had gained 50 pounds while I was pr
Hi everyone! :)So a little about me.... I never was taught nutrition from my parents or school. So I pretty much shoved my face full of whatever food was "yummy" and ate whenever I wanted. I'm now at a weight which I'm not even comfortable sharing wi
I am new to this way of eating even though I come from a high carb vegan way of eating. I still have a hard time believing you can eat the amount of calories freelea is recommending and still loose weight. I am trying it but to tell you the truth it

Hey guys!I was wondering. It's hard for me to get past 2000 calories even on a binge, and I can't see myself getting past 1700 calories a day, or even making it to 1500! I mean, I want to assume that medium/large sized bananas/apples/oranges/tomatoes
I changed my diet for good a number of months ago. These days, a large percentage of my diet is low fat raw vegan, and I have more energy than before, which is great. I've now been rock climbing three times a week, but I'm starting to w
I have to admit that I'm suffering from "sticker shock" when it comes to the amount of calories this way of eating is recommending. I've had the whole "3500 cal in a lb and you have to eat at a deficit to lose weight" drilled into me for years. Also,
So for about two years I've been on the raw food "gourmet" diet and about 10 days ago I switched to the LFRV lifestyle. On the other diet I was consuming around 1100 calories a day. Now, trying to hit 2500 calories is fun! I like not depri
