DAY 3
Well I thought this would get easier, I WAS WRONG. Day three seems to have been very difficult. Not so much with being hungry but the cravings, I guess maybe this is normal. One of todays meals is from a restaurant, maybe this was not a good idea, being the fact I was around alot of meat eaters.
Breakfast was not bad, it was a apple, banana and a grapefruit.
lunch was at work today, it was just me and a bunch of rabbits. We had salad, celery and grapes, they seemed to enjoy it more than I did.
Of course a day in the life of a wanna be Vegan can't be done without a snack.
Here is where I messed up, went out to eat to a Mexican restaurant. I had a bean burrito with no cheese,Mexican rice and chips and salsa. The dinner was good, but being around people who where eating meat wasn't. Made the cravings that much stronger. So maybe going forward I will stay away from restaurant for a little while. Well, stay tuned for day 4

Dude. That’s awesome. You got this. Good to see those raw fruits and veggies!🤗
Thanks @coolbowser , I think as ling as I eat at home and not in a restaurant I will be fine unless it is a Vegan restaurant.
Yeah. The smells in a restaurant could be enough to send you over the edge. 😁That would be wise to stay out of the restaurants.
Haha, tell me about it. Thanks @coolbowser
Just Do It Ray!
I'm cheering on your efforts and getting inspired too.
Inspired enough to take the leap. 😁
Funny you should mention that... was just thinking that maybe i'll pick a regime and play the second half with ya...

🙀
Mate, I encourage you 100% to keep going! Every day will get easier - (even if I do think you're insane...)
Haha thanks
For the month or so the wife and I were vegan, I found it was much easier to have stuff already made up and ready to eat. This included big pot of pinto beans, lentil stew, farrow salad, hummus, and everything we needed for a "big salad" prepped and ready to go.
For meals, we ate a lot of steamed veggies, black bean burgers (homemade of course), and stir frys, Don't underestimate the greatness that is stir fry.
Hey thanks for the info
your doing really well mate stay strong it will be worth it for the extra silver! :)
Thanks buddy
I think you need to amp up your calories. Until you got to the Lenny & Larry's cookie, that was hardly anything. I'd be hungry too! Use cronometer or myfitness pal to track your calories for at least 2 weeks so you can get a good feel for the volume of food you should be consuming. Being hungry is not a side effect of being vegan. It's a side effect of not eating enough.
If you are mostly eating fruit and veg (which you are by the looks) you need to up the amount you consume by a lot. Or start introducing more calorie dense foods into your diet like lentils, chickpeas, tofu whatever.
I went into some detail about this post I linked yesterday.
Don't give up. You're doing great!
I did today, feel alot better, hey thanks for the link and all the good info over the oast couple of days.

PS upvoted you in case you need some extra bog roll :-D
Thanks for the link bud👍
Very nice my friend Up&Resteem
Well done on the progress so far! Agree with @choogirl! I too would recommend upping your calories by increasing your carbohydrate intake (whole preferably but not essential), as well as nuts, seeds and legumes. All these things will help you feel more satiated and provide a great variety of nutrients. #vegan #welldone #health #congrats #keepatit
I ate alot more today and fell better. Thanks
