New to simply filling- any help appreciated

[icklerockchick]

Sneak peak at scales have been showing a couple lb gain so hopefully shift most of that by weigh in.

Feel like I should be doing something exciting with my last few days of freedom but it's raining, I have no money and everyone I know is at work lol!

So settled for watching tangled with breakfast (I love a good Disney movie!) and shall exercise afterwards. Going to try and get in the habit of doing some reps while watching tv too as did it yesterday and it takes hardly any time at all and doesn't feel like such hard work when you have telly on! X

Not offended by anything really so ask away!

Basically vegetarians don't eat animals, vegans don't eat any animal products.

The eggs that we eat are not fertilised so they would not become a baby chick. Females produce eggs by themselves but need males to fertilise them for them to become babies.

I had kind of considered going vegan but to be honest I am a fussy eater and although I could convert to non dairy milk so problem I do like eggs and cheese and would really miss chocolate! You can get vegan alternatives but they are generally pretty expensive. Also quite a lot of veggie products like quorn, veggie burgers and sausages etc are not vegan as they contain milk or egg. X

Yeah I paid almost £8 for egg replacer I have only used it for a binder ... Must try a omlette or something but I'm a bit scared lol

I'm with you with the eggs in the cake thing! I only eat free range eggs and organic meat! It's hard eating out though as it obviously isn't that! But there obviously not free range in cakes either but its too nice to turn down! There was this ace shop in LA completely organic and the salad bar was about the size or a tesco express lol! Then they priced it by weight! Loved it!!!

Looks like your doing great! Hopefully it will show on the scales this week!

Organic eggs don't really mean anything I'm
Afraid lol

Ooft £8 it better be made of magic

I know that if I look too much into the ethics of it all I would really need to go vegan, but for me it was mostly simply that I got to the point of not really liking meat. Other than bacon that's the only thing I miss even though I rarely had it!

Whereas I can not say that I don't enjoy cheese or chocolate lol no curlywurlys or halloumi would make me sad x

I dont eat chocolate although there are a lot of amazing creamy vegan chocolates out their esp the ones made with rice milk. You can get vegan reps of twix, mars etc.. lol. But Halloumi ...I dream of Halloumi..yes it makes me sad too lol x

That's good bout vegan chocolate,I think it would be a shame to be deprived just because you want a different food choice in life!

There is a page on facebook think its called the worlds lazest vegan and it posts the most amazing conv food, well crap really but amazing stuff we don't even get here non vegan ...of course it's American lol. Think some people think you cant be fat if your vegan... but its too easy to eat rubbish I suppose like anybody *sigh although I find its not as easy to snack in the house, hubby has velvet crunch and hi fi bars in...both have dairy in

Wrap looks great! Mmmmm. Carbalicious. Everything centred around carbs looks ten times more delicious now I am reducing them

And Tangled is AWESOME. I like pascal. Me and OH went to see it at the cinema during the day and were in the only ones in the cinema. Its almost as good as Ratatoille, which is pretty much my favourite animated film ever. A rat that loves to cook - genius!

Lol yup had to be American! I guess people think of vegans and vegetarians as being more healthy in general and never think of the bigger picture! To be honest since doing simply filling I snack on more healthy food but still have a naughty treat here and there.I think I could manage being a veggie but not vegan but it would be due to the fact I'm ok with meat free produce more then the animal aspect!

Organic eggs don't really mean anything I'm
Afraid lol

I don't buy organic eggs. Only free range! don't think you can get organic eggs, can only really treat the shell that we don't eat.

 

[Keldelacoe]

sorry I meant 'free range' sometimes refered to as organic too

 

[Purpled]

Why doesn't free range mean anything? I get mine from farm down road so there cheaper than tesco anyway! But why doesn't free range mean anything?

It does, most chickens r shoved in sheds in the dark and cramped so they can get eggs cheaper! That's not nice at all, I always buy free range eggs! I used to get the free range chicken too but couldn't afford it now

 

[icklerockchick]

Yeh it's crazy the amount of junk that is still vegan. Some flavours of pringles are, and oreos are in some countries, and some pop tarts in america. All sorts of crap really.

Your free range eggs from a local farm will very likely be of a much higher welfare standard than any of the mass farmed ones from supermarkets Purple so I wouldn't worry.

I think Kel is meaning the fact that although things can be labelled free range or organic they can still be kept in very cruel conditions. Buying from small local farms is the best thing you can do but obviously that option isn't available to everyone.

There's plenty videos etc out there showing the cruelty suffered by intensively farmed animals however most of the material is from America and luckily we do have much more stringent EU welfare regulations over here. That isn't to say there isn't still cruelty etc going on here as obviously there is but a lot of the practices aren't allowed over here and the farming isn't on the same kind of scale here.

I had looked into quite a bit of both sides of the story when I became veggie, not going into details as obviously it's all your own choice as to what you eat. And infact many vegans (not Kel lol!) really frown upon veggies and regard them as worse than meat eaters as they are only half committed!! Anyway I am happy with my choice.

Although my food has been really limited lately due to finances I still feel I eat healthier now that I used to and becoming veggie helped me try a lot of new foods that I discovered I loved. Although vegan chocolate is yummy I would only be able to afford it as an occassional treat whereas 5 curly wurlys are £1 lol!! xx

Really? People do that? Wow how narrow minded. I don't think you should ever think badly of someone because your views differ. I'd never become vegan or even veggie as I love meat and grew up on farms so have a totally different view on farming, but Id never put anyone else's view down. Our beliefs are what makes us different and that's a good thing! X

 

[icklerockchick]

A lot of new vegans (again not kel lol!) are a bit like new born religious fanatics lol they get really preachy about it!! Start claiming how they hate all non vegans and that they are all ignorant :-/ and try to convert anyone who will listen.

It's a bit mental! X

 

[Keldelacoe]

totally agree, Im finding now some vegans slate other vegans for eating soy! im not convinced by the whole soy debate at all, think some want to argue for argument sake.

I think Laura hit it on the head with the whole egg industry, Im never going to shove my views down anybody throat or tell others what to eat but I think it wrong many are often mislead in the name of mass marketing and fatcat greed ...and paying more thinking they are doing good.

Dan bought eggs from aldi the other day and I noticed they were labeled caged, didnt even relise they could be caged. I know many free range are kept in cramped cponditions with a 5 min run about allowing them to be labeled 'free range' but I didnt think they actually labelled them caged. mmmmm x
