GeorgeP Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Hi to all of you and thank you for accepting me here! My name is George and I am 33 years old, married, two children, 8+4. I am from Romania, Europe. I stopped eating meat more than 10 years ago and I turned vegan arround 30 moths ago. I made exceptions a few times and I eat some food that had eggs or dairy in it, mostly cookies, but only as an exception. I kept a food journal for 1.5 years on a very good forum here and it helped me immensely. It's a standard diet forum and now I feel that I need to find a vegan comunity to further educate myself. Keeping this diary was the best thing I did for my diet and health, as it helped me rotate foods and most importanly, knowing that I will write down all food I eat is preventing me from eating all sort of bad stuff, like sugar and gluten. I worked out twice a week for 6-7 months with a personal trainer, once in the gym, once yoga. Mainly body weight exercises and small (2-4kg) weights. 2-3 months ago my pt left the country and I stopped going to the gym. I continue however to workout at home, once a week, a lot less intense unfortunately. I plan on going back to a gym an workout once a week there and once a week at home. Before meeting my ex personal trainer, I never worked out in my life, never was attacted to sports. Now I am atracted to looking good and being healthy. Thu, 31 OCT 2013 Coming after a 24h water fast (more like 36, last meal was on Tu evening) M1 07:00 - 1 PomeloM2 08:30 - 3 pearsM3 10:25 - big salad: one beat, one black raddish (small apple in size), 2 hands parseley, juice from a lemon, onion.

In total today I had 1kg of apples and 1kg of pears. I managed a fully raw day, I try this after a fast day. I also managed it because I knew I was going to write here I would put imageshack hyperlinks to some meals, as I take a lot of photos, but I dont know how yet. I appreciate and welcome all comments. Thank you! Edited November 2, 2013 by GeorgeP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.O. Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Welcome! You're almost a fruitarian? What you posted looks good. Do you know of Andrei Codrescu? His poem Sibiu, Romania is one of my favorites. -Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeP Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Thank you Dylan for the welcome. I eat a lot of fruit, but I am not almost a fruitarian, as you will see soon, I also eat cooked food as well. I think I will go 100% raw in one or two years maximum, when I will be able to grow in the garden all the fruit and green leaves I want.I am ashamed to admit that I dont know Andrei Codrescu, but I will google him. Fri, 01 NOV 2013 M1 07:00 - rolled oats porridge, water, 1/2 frozen banana (use them to sweeten foods), 2TBSP hemp protein, 1TBSP mesquite, 1TBSP maca.

GeorgeP Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 I thought the English word for cookie was biscuit? I had to search the recepe book. The name I was looking for is scones, as in "Orange cranberry oatmeal scones". Wed, 20 Nov 2013 Water fast day, had 3 liters of water and some 1 liter tea.

I am currently in a not so good mental state and I am not in a mood to write down all meals and work out. As soon as I get well, I will get back to writing.
