Good attitude Maura! You do not need meet to be strong or feel strong. Invest some time and energy in learning about nutrition and it will pay off. May the force be with you!

wow I loved reading all the posts. I have been a vegan for 10 years, then my mom passed away and I went back t Italy. I started to eat fih again and some eggs. I felt so good when I was a vegan. Well i was raw dor 2 years too. I am training and I lost so mch weight even now that I eat fish. So I thought that may be is not the lack of proteins it is just my lack of knowledge about nutrition. My energy level is not very high. My coach here has been ordering me to eat meet at least 3 times a week for dinner but I REFUSE..
I will get the book you guys are talking about and get my strenght back without the fish... Thank you all

Hello!! I've been lucky with nutrition and never really had any problems with it and don't have to put too much effort other than finding exciting and yummy new veg. recipes! One of my new favorites is couscous tacos. My main problem is during off season just trying not to eat as much. Most people didn't bug me to much about it until I was gonna train for an Ironman then all of a sudden they thought I needed to triple my protein intake. ;-)

I bought the book and am reading it. VERY informative, but I also enjoy soy, and am not willing to give that up quite yet. I will have to try the 1/2 and 1/2, sounds good.
Can't wait to try some of the recipes. =)

I have that book and it's a really great read, with some quite amazing recipes!! I definitely recommend it. Although I don't follow his lifestyle exactly (he also doesn't use soy, and I enjoy the odd glass of 1/2 vanilla 1/2 chocolate soy milk) :)

Great group! I am training for my 1st IM in Coeur d Alene 2010. I am also Vegan, and have started to have doubts during the training about maintaining my energy levels during training/racing. Any thoughts?

Love the group! I'm a vegan and many people question it, but I love the lifestyle and have never felt better!
