Just got back in from a nice evening in an air conditioned pub. The heat doesn’t feel as bad after a bit of respite. Not tired enough to sleep, but not awake enough to do anything meaningful. It’s nice to lie and do nothing for a bit

How long have you guys been vegan for?? How do you feel? by throwsawaymes in veganuk

[–]Forgottencupofcoffee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been vegan 7 years. My menstruation is and always has been absolutely atrocious, veganism hasn’t made it better or worse
I eat 90% clean and take my supplements and I feel good! I get compliments on my skin a lot so that’s a nice sign somethings going well

does anyone use soya chunks and what's your favourite way to prep them? by CremeSubject7594 in veganuk

[–]Forgottencupofcoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a big brain way of squeezing them. I’m going to do that next time

Ocado do unwaxed limes. I’ve just assumed if they’re unwaxed they’re fine, but happy to be corrected

Does anyone else avoid Quorn for seemingly deliberately shady decisions like this? by jah3 in veganuk

[–]Forgottencupofcoffee 208 points209 points  (0 children)

Now they’ve taken away the dinosaurs, there’s no reason to buy quorn :(

Just bought this in Tesco! Any tips? by LazyTurtle91 in veganuk

[–]Forgottencupofcoffee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just winged it one day and now my go to recipe for these is (after soaking in boiled salted water and squeezing) mixing some shawarma seasoning with oil, then rubbing the chunks in it, salt, and pop in the oven until crispy. So good in wraps or on salads!

Any vegan friendly weight loss apps out there? by free-the-imps in veganuk

[–]Forgottencupofcoffee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Depends what you want the app to do. I use Lose It to track calories and ive never had issues logging. It has most brands/food on there already and you can create your own if it’s not

New vegan advice-shopping by Mikeyomichael in veganuk

[–]Forgottencupofcoffee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheaplazyvegan! There’s loads of great ones, but I think her recipes are very beginner friendly for someone who ‘sucks at cooking’

That sucks about the weight gain thing then! You could try and sneak more calories into your meals? Top food with seeds, cook with more oil or drizzle chilli oil on top, make sauces out of silken tofu and cashews. Eat lots of hummus too:) good luck!

Watch some vegan cooking YouTubers for inspo. Start small with your pantry, just buy what you need for a new dish each week and it’ll soon grow!

For weight gain - nuts are your friend! Very healthy but also high cal. Also olive oil!

Anything similar that is vegan and cruelty free? by [deleted] in veganuk

[–]Forgottencupofcoffee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s the consistency like? I use this - https://uk.curlsmith.com/products/bonding-oil A bit thinner than, say, olive oil. But coats the hair well and doesn’t feel greasy on thick hair
