So far 7 months "veg" working towards veganism...which is a little more effort but plausible.

If you didn't mean plant based in terms of nourishment...I can get you InTouch with my boet that's into a plant based smoking routine; and that would be excluding tabacco.

Plant based diet? Is that when you eat animals that only eat plants?

 

It's the circle of life right there

No, as in being full of **** and forcing your new found wisdom onto others.

Im a vegan at home and an omnivore out of the home - wjat can I help you with Wayne?

 

Ahhh veganism - there is no shortage of opinions in this department!!!!!

Also vegetarian, last 6 years or so. Eat a little cheese maybe once a month or so (*I love pizza, major problem for me!) and a bit of milk if I am out and someone makes coffee/don pedros etc without asking me but otherwise no eggs and minimal dairy. Stopped eating eggs a long time ago though, before I left meat...the old bacon and eggs was catching up to me!

 

For me it was a health and animal welfare consideration, but these days I am not sure how anyone affords meat! Was looking at the meat at a friends bar the other and its R60 odd for crappy Spar wors now??!!

Some background. We have been Vegetarian for about 6 months and the more I learn the more I am interested in becoming Vegan.

 

1. Did anyone experience any pronounced weight loss from the switch?

2. Anyone have any suggestions for interesting sites that provided PROPER information. 

 

Will ask a few more as my mind wanders.

I am a proud Vegetarian. Even the steak I eat was vegetarian at some point in time!!

You can visit Durianrider on You tube. He pretty much has all the answers on his channel. Of course, there will be a lot of criticism. People will only believe what the majority tells them and what "Science" have proven.

I don't think you will ever look back once you have committed to Carb the F up and Go Vegan!

i've been ovo-lacto veg for over 12 years (egg and diary still consumed ) - the original plan being to make the move over to vegan - has never happened, and of late I've been diagnosed with severe anaemia - to the extent i had to do 5 weekly IV Iron infusions - so I'm considering actually reintroducing non plant based into my diet. Waiting for final tests back to see. 

 

The full on vegan thing though for me is a lifestyle not a diet - so no animal byproducts at all in clothing, absolutely no animal tested products etc - not impossible but tough - and a lot of these 100% vegan cruelty free products aren't cheap.
