Question by Anneke Fox: What are vegan protein powders that are good for loosing weight?
I need to loose some weight and I am a vegan who does not get enough protein. Does anyone know of any protein powders that I can add to water? thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by purple.star84
The only way you are not getting enough protein is if you are starving yourself. (first link) In which case, stop starving yourself and you will lose weight. (second link)

When you starve yourself your body goes into starvation mode and stores as much fat as it can, because your body doesn’t know when you are going to feed it again. If you need more protein for bodybuilding eat more green vegetables. If you aren’t bodybuilding, then just eat. Fruits, vegetables, a handful of nuts and you will be fine.

You need to eat meals though. Don’t just snack through the day.

I know that is not the question you asked. But what you are planning to do isn’t going to change anything for you. The first link explains protein and the vegan diet very well. It cite its sources also. I suggest reading that.

Question by *: How organic is this black mulch you can usually find at nurseries and would it be good to work into clay?
I am wondering if I tilled this black mulch that you usually find at nurseries into clay dirt, if it would make it like a nice topsoil quality type of dirt or not.

and how organic is the stuff used to make black mulch usually?
what is usually in it ?

and would this make the clay dirt drain a lot better by tilling it with this mulch?

thanks for your answers!

Answer by J F
The best mulch for clay soil is leaf mulch. I’m not sure if this is what you’re talking about. I’ve used it with great success.

Question by nowandagayne: What are good vegan foods that you can buy straight at a normal grocery store?
I am vegan and the pricey stuff is not for me. I want to know what good things to eat that I could just buy that maybe aren’t made special for vegans, but just don’t have any animal byproducts in them. I already looked at PETA’s list. Anyone have any good suggestions?

Best answer:

Answer by punkrockgirl
beans and whole grains are cheap
if you doctor them up the can be quite good
also fresh produce.

Question by pink_lemonade: Is organic food really good for your health?
I’m not a strict vegetarian or health conscious person. But thesedays, if there were organic products and regular products, I’d choose to buy organic products believing its gonna do something good for my health. Are there any real difference in organic food and others? Like let’s say I have this organic pasta. How good is it for me than eating regular pasta?

Is eating Good Health Natural Foods “Veggie Chips” healthy?

Posted on November 5, 2011 by HealthyCook| Leave a comment

Question by That girl: Is eating Good Health Natural Foods “Veggie Chips” healthy?
I decided to go healthy! haha woo!
So i bought some Veggie chips. And i love them. but do they have the same salt, calories, etc. as other chips?
cuz if so.
Then byebye veggie chips ahaha:)

Best answer:

Answer by Becki
Um…just read and compare the labels of the veggie chips and a bag of the chips that you would have eaten before.

Compare the salt and calories as well as how much of each you can actually have and even the ingredients. Some so-called healthy foods have more products in them than regular foods and that’s not healthy. And some say to eat so little of them that you won’t be satisfied until you eat double, or even triple, the amount it suggests. You may be better off eating what you’d eaten before. Or the veggie chips may be the best way to go.

It’s likely that the salt used on them is either kosher or sea salt which can cause bloating in some people and is often stronger in its flavor which can result in you craving soda or sweets as they will balance the salt. And that won’t really help you in your healthy eating goals!

You don’t have to buy foods specifically labels as healthy or natural to actually be healthy. You just have to do everything in moderation and get the adequate amount of exercise to burn off those calories to maintain the weight you are at.
