Sticking to a low-fat, vegan diet may help people with multiple sclerosis fight fatigue, according to a new study presented at the American Academy of Neurology’s annual meeting in Philadelphia.
The study, which began in 2008, is the first randomized-controlled trial to examine the effect of a low fat vegan diet on managing MS, an…
The vegan diet is picking up with unusual adherents.
As vegans move from a tiny fraction of a fraction of a minority in the United States and other countries globally, it is an ideal moment to begin to reassert our lifestyle in a positive manner. Veganism is compassion; compassion for all living beings, humans included. When newspapers report on the “extremist” views of vegans, we do not need to…

The Bunny Diet
For about 8 years now, whenever I decide to go on my chosen “diet”, these are the rules and perimeters I have always followed, and they have never failed me. I call it a bunny diet due to the very plant based nature of this diet, but also because I simply love bunnies.
The rules are simple!
- Calorie limit 1,200
- Drink a gallon of water a day
- Eat a highly plant based diet
- Weigh all food on a food scale to get the most accurate calorie reading (google is your friend to determin the calorie count)
- Rice is allowed in small quantities
- Tofu and beans for protein
- MisoSOUP!!!!
- Keep pastas to an absolute minimum, a treat
- On cheat days, eat what you like, but still count the calories and stay within the limit, and still drink your water.
- As far as seasoning goes, butter is forbidden, use salt as needed but try to not use that either. All other seasonings are ok!
- Only use vinegar based salad dressings, no ranch nor cheeses (unless it is your cheat day)
- Allow only one cheat day a week, if you must.
- Maintain a strict bed time
- Brush your teeth every single day, morning and night (absolutely no lazy skipping)
- While you do not HAVE to workout, it will not hurt you to do so.
- Keeping a journal is highly recommended
Cafe Gratitude.. The bottom picture is from Yelp tho.. Because I saw it, I screenshotted it and I ate it and it was great. It was a bowl called “grateful” and it was so good, reminded me of a more indulgence version of something I might make at home. Brown rice, sweet potato and beans covered in tahini dressing and salad. Shared the seasonal salad. It had grilled apricots and walnut cheese, or something like that on it. I loved cafe gratitude.. wanted dessert but by the end of the meal had eaten that months rent.

A dinner at Native Foods where we got everything and shared everything. It was a crispy “chicken” wrap, a crispy “chicken” sandwich and some tortilla soup. Basically the crispy “"chicken”“ items were the exact same taste. Tortilla vs. Bun! But ya they were good I took the photos with flash because I liked how it made the soup look muaha and food in general looks like alien food w flash

We made vegan tacos with this soy free “hemp tofu” which is the most vegan sounding food I’ve ever heard of. It was pre seasoned but tasted bland lol. Texture was good tho, I added creole salt and cumin and lemon, black beans, corn, onions and zucchini. So good, I ate 10 lol.

I ate at Follow Your Heart. Had their products before but this was my first time at their restaurant. I’ll definitely be back here . I got a stuffed and totally loaded chipotle black bean sweet potato. It was so good, the sauce under the cheese was so creamy… Also their burger was amazing. (Their cheese tastes even better the way they prepare it there) I’m usually daiya or bust. I had half of each, so now there’s only a million more things on their menu I needa go back and try.
