You do not work at the alternative health store on south street do you. I bought my second can of the protien powder over on one of them walnut or chesnut streets at the center of town health food store. I was only there for a week living in my old van but now travel on my bike nicely. I reallized that it was expensive living in the number top 8 veg city in the US. It still is my favorite big city in all of the US.

Thanks for noticing me on here as soon as i signed up and i hope all is well.

It is interesting that you sent a message and thanks for that. I have not had issues with keeping muscle integrity as well as muscle tissue on my frame, but what I have been having issues with is being able to stay lean. Since on the vegan plan, I have become soft and also holding water and getting a thick look. I have been challenged in finding a food plan that is vegan that (1) won't get me thick, (2) that will keep me satisfied without feeling hungry (3) and something that is not a huge fat load.
Since I started my page, I have to say that I have had to go back to animal protein sparingly and I can feel the dhange and don't like it, so I guess my answer is that I am still investigating some things. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Hey Joyce,

Its really no different than keeping muscle on as a vegetarian or omnivore...same strategies, just different nutritional sources--Nuts and seeds are good, I also eat a lot of hemp, lentils, and occasionally tempeh / Tofu. ..I eat a fair bit of fat too..again, nuts and seeds are good..also flax seed oil and avocado.

I always keep a couple packets of vega protein and some almonds in my gym bag in case I run out of food.

Hope this helps! If you have really specific questions, post em, the community is great at getting lots of responses :)

Welcome!
