Guest guest Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Hi, Nothing contentious to say for a change, but instead I'm after advice... I've been a vegan for about 6 months or so, and have lost about a stone in weight. And as I was thin before, this is not very good news. I thought I'd been eating a fairly good diet, but obviously not. So I'm taking the liberty of describing what I normally eat in a day, and wonder if anyone could point on the missing link? breakfast: large mug of (black) coffee lunch: slice of toast, banana dinner: either some kind of rice+tempeh/soya-type thing, or, if I'm feeling lazy, vegan-burger and chips. added extra: vegan vitamin tablet Any advice gratefully received. Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 John, It helps to eat a few small meals instead of three main ones in a day. Also try to get more fruits and vegetable into your diet as well. Coffee is a natrual dieritc and it is not going to give you the nutrients you need to start your day. Try a protien shake instead if you need to drink your frist meal. Just remember you need to get your fruits, grains, vegetables, protiens, fats, and carbs into your daily meals. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Hi John It sounds like you are not getting enough calories to me. I think breakfast would be a good idea. If you're like me you cannot eat early, but I take a banana and apple to work to eat as breakfast at about 9.30. I think also you should have a bigger lunch - either more bread, with a nut pate or hummous etc, or take soya yoghurt as well. I really think you just need to eat a bit more in general.
