Good thing you can get protein without eating meat. 80 grams is a bit much though isn't it? You only need like 50 to 60 right?
i've heard that large amounts of unfermented soy products like tofu is bad for your health. Asians surprisingly only eat a small amount of tofu, and they usually eat the fermented forms like soy sauce, miso soup, tamare. So for all of you vegans out here, is tofu your main source of protein? I think whole wheat bread and nuts would be a good substitute of protein for tofu if it is true that decently large quantities of it is bad so they say
Not at all, I hardly ever eat tofu. Bread, nuts and beans are my main sources. I eat cheese and milk too but not very much any more, and if it wasn't so expensive I'd switch to hemp milk.
I was vegan for 3 years but have started to eat some dairy products recently. The reason is that I now live in a country where you will mainly find meat and very little vegan dishes, at least compared to where I was living before, so the reason is limited food diversity. But I'm planning on going full vegan in the future again - I'm still very aware of all the good reasons to do so. I changed my diet and got into lucid dreaming at around the same time, but I was observing a number of good bodily changes during my transition besides the dreaming part.
Daww and you were doing so well. My friend managed to find raw vegan restaurants and learned to prepare good food herself, you have no excuse. :PQuote:

There may be another reason why people who stop eating meat feel so differently that has nothing to do with the meat itself per se. Most meat is full of preservatives, nitrates, cleansed with ammonia, etc, all that bs. To say that it is the meat itself is a bit of an assumption. However, if anyone here transitioned from a diet consisting of organic meat to a vegan one and feels a lot better, my argument is smashed
It really depends on your weight, I weigh about 148 pounds so I need to eat about 70 grams of Protein to get maximum natural energy. There's charts on the internet for those kinds of things.Quote:
