Vegan diet?

i want to be a vegan what is everything i can eat i know they cant eat meat or dairy what about peanut butter (does that have eggs in it?) and how do they get their protein and ****?Vegan diet?
peanut butter does not have eggs it, it is made from peanuts. get peanut butter that has ONLY peanuts (maybe salt) on the ingidients, 100%natural/no sugar added peanut butter is the way to go! :]

avoid those that have hydrogenated oils and sugar!Vegan diet?
i know you CAN eat PB but thats it, if you allow email ill email you some more cause my friend was a vegitarian
eat lots of peanuts, that will help get your protein up.Vegan diet?
It is not difficult to get enough protein in a varied diet. Research vegan nutrition. There are plenty of sources to get all the nutrients you need without consuming animal products.
peanut butter you CAN eat , eat lots of tofu , and bananas im not sure but try veggie dogs and hamburgersVegan diet?
Getting your own protein is very important in many ways. It's really a plant base diet, also this link will help you out.Good Luck.:)
Beans are a great source of protein and there are so many ways to add them into your diet.
Peanut butter is ok. Vegans can eat fruits, vegetables, grains, lentils, beans, and nuts. There are many vegan alternatives to dairy and meat products - see http://vegcooking.com/guide-favs.asp



Here are some vegan sources of protein:

Almonds, black beans, brown rice, cashews, garbanzo beans (chickpeas), kidney beans, lentils, lima beans, peanut butter, pinto beans, seitan, soybeans, soymilk, sunflower seeds, textured vegetable protein (TVP), tofu, vegetarian hot dogs and burgers
No, peanut butter only has honey sometimes, unless it is Reese's candy because they use milk ingredients.



I don't know if you are already vegetarian but becoming vegan won't happen overnight.

If you want to become a lacto-ovo vegetarian, the transition should be quite simple. Almost all meats have widely available commercial replacements. All that you have to do is replace any flesh in your diet (beef, pork, poultry, seafood) with meat analogs or just leave it out altogether.



You should keep in mind that a journey such as this can be quite short but should just be the beginning of a longer one to a plant-based diet with no animal products. This is because of the reality of factory farming in which animals that are kept alive to produce milk, eggs, etc suffer much more and longer than animals that are raised to a certain weight and then slaughtered.http://www.veganoutreach.org/whyvegan/

Some people use the word "vegan" in reference to this idea, but be aware that that applying that label to yourself should always come with the inclusion of wise activism and advocacy.http://www.veganoutreach.org/advocacy/in鈥?/a>

Two extremely important examples of this are that you should never speak to someone about vegetarianism/veganism without their consent and genuine interest or as a comment on what they are eating AND your dietary beliefs should never be used as an introduction or explanation of who you are as a person. Veg*ism should be something that comes up AFTER people get to know you and they offer you a situation that makes it confusing to withhold the information/dicussion. Also, if you are presented something that you choose not to eat or you are

ordering food/eating together somewhere/picking the best place to eat.



A responsible vegan ALWAYS studies the subject of their own health and how to keep their body completely provided for in every sense. http://www.veganhealth.org/sh

To neglect their body is to define a plant-based diet as unhealthy and is the opposite of helping the animals.



When you you hold off on the subject until it's necessary and then act like it isn't a big deal at all, people are usually surprised and WAY more interested and curious than if you were to bring it up when someone's eating or just using it as a conversation starter.



Just to clear things up, the vegetarian/vegan diet is not composed of salads, vegetables, fruit and fake meat.

A balanced plant-based diet includes grains(breads, pasta, rice,cereal), legumes(soy, beans, peas, lentils), fruit and vegetables.

Being vegan can be an art, one whose challenge is to take things that involve the suffering of the innocent and change them into something free of cruelty.



A vegan woman can create an ENTIRELY NEW,HEALTHY HUMAN BEING INSIDE OF HER. Many of these children stay vegan and grow up to be perfectly healthy adults. So just keep yourself educated about what you eat and don't let anyone tell you that a veg diet is lacking anything essential.



Technically the term "vegetarian" does imply that you don't consume anything that comes from the body of an animal that requires killing it. Many ingredients such as gelatin and glycerin are found in many candies, Fig-Newtons, and many of other foods as well as rennet found in many cheeses.

The best thing to remember is to take your time so that for example: when you are comfortable not eating beef and pork you can then give up chicken when you are sure you can make the commitment permanently.

Depending on your age or reliance on parents or regional options, it may not be best to give yourself a label. The important thing is to do your best to make progress and be committed to your compassion towards animals. Never put your focus onto what you or other people use to describe yourself.



If you meet someone that talks down to people for eating meat, dairy, etc or to you because they think they are "more veg" than you, laugh in their face and tell them they are a disgrace to the entire philosophy. People like this only hurt the idea of veg*ism AND the animals. The point of all of this is to live compassionately and and as free from cruelty as you can, all the while maintaining your health and a positive attitude. People who don't maintain either, need not open their mouths and represent our beliefs.



If you actually choose to read all of this, I hope it helps. If not, feel free to e-mail me if you have questions.

You can get protein from soymilk, nuts, beans and some vegetables.
Peanut butter's fine for vegans - you can get plenty of protein by eating soy products, tofu, soymilk and nuts. You can take vitamin/mineral supplements too if you want.
It is very difficult to get the protein you need. Most take vitamins and supplements to make up for what you are lacking.
