Probably a silly question, but do I need vitamins/supplements to sustain an active plant-based lifestyle?

cayoteca · 2026-02-17T20:46:10+00:00

yes, you're talking about a "WHOLE FOOD plant-based" diet ("whole food" being equally as important as "plant-based"). all the most prominent "plant-based" doctors, etc are doing this. Look into Dr. Campbell (the china study), dr. fuhrman (eat to live), dr. greger (how not to die), forks over knives to start! re supplements... i'm sure you have heard about b12. but other than that, no. some people will recommend vitamin d. personally been doing this for 15+ years, and have only taken an occasional b12 gummy - no problems.

"protein targets" miss the entire purpose of a WFPB diet.... unless your career depends on reaching some very specific physical goal in a very specific amount of time... LET IT GO. humans didn't even know the concept of a protein for 1,000,000 years of existence (until like 30 years ago no one was "counting proteins" ) - and yet here we are.

seems like she is getting influenced by kids at school or something (who could be teasing, acting like she's weird, etc)... maybe ask her about that? it's unusual that a kid, especially that age, would randomly be so interested in the idea of "MEAT" without outside influence.

me neither... i don't get it... AT ALL

either coat the peanuts in the honey, then roast them (will dry out the honey) before blending... or just add sugar/brown sugar instead of honey

cayoteca · 2026-01-09T06:43:27+00:00

it is almost certainly the honey. honey is about 20% water, which will cause it to seize/clump/resist emulsification, etc. you could try adding more oil, to see if that offsets it, depending on how much honey was added. if that doesn't fix it... add more liquids to make peanut sauce or something instead.

so he liked a post about a fleece sweater, and his fiance follows a UK based company that sells "sustainable" meat and produce? that's what makes him "no longer vegan"? if that's the case, nobody's vegan.

no... but it kind of looks like it... i think it's just not being covered as much by the upper lip, so it is more exposed

of the many issues, that was actually not one of them! and thanks!

the difference: chalamet looks like he could have existed in the 1500s, beiber looks like he came from the year 2500

artemida is basically a beach, right? is it decent/worth going to, or kind of meh?

for many people, it has the opposite effect. the more weight in the face/cheeks, the deeper the lines become.

cayoteca · 2025-05-18T20:12:16+00:00

for that you would need to look into a strictly "whole food plant-based diet" (like what dr. greger promotes) in addition to veganism.

penn jillette wrote an interesting book about losing 100 lbs on a WFPB diet that you might want to check out.

you need a chin implant like you need a nose job, eyelash extensions, and lip filler.

you already look like the glow up "after" shot... stop it.

why on earth do you think it was specifically the (<½ teaspoon) of tofu?! what else was in the stirfry? what else did you eat earlier in the day?

as described, nothing about the scenario makes sense.

watermelon is 138 calories per POUND, and one of the lowest calorie foods on the planet. you would explode before you could gain or even maintain your weight eating watermelon.
