You can look all you want but you're not going to find a diet loophole that will let you get away with eating as much maple syrup as youd like.

Yay my own thread I am so speshial!

@OOD, the main thing is to transition at your own pace. When people fail, it is nearly always because they don't eat enough calories. There's a learning curve like anything else, but it is easy, fast, and cheap to buy and prepare vegan food. I do buy produce 3x a week, and use a ton of spices though.
When you go shopping, don't think of avoiding foods, think of replacing foods you're avoiding. Buy lots of produce and some staples like brown rice, quinoa, all kinds of beans (canned are easier, dried are cheaper) lentils, oats, potatoes of all kinds, tofu, nuts, seeds, plant milks (cashew is creamiest, almond is good too), whole grain breads. Frozen vegetables and fruits are healthy, cheap, and keep well in the freezer. At the beginning, getting some meat substitutes makes it easier. Gardein is a tasty brand. You don't usually eat it like a meat entree, it's more like a flavoring added to a stirfry or chili, or just a few pieces on the side of a meal.
I don't avoid GMOs specifically, but I'm more careful with the kids' stuff. I love gluten and actually add vital wheat gluten to my whole wheat breads. I buy organic only the Dirty Dozen fruits and vegetables (stuff that grows low to the ground that you eat the skin of, mostly).
So my meals are like B: oatmeal with soymilk, fruit, and either a handful of nuts or a spoonful of crunchy peanut butter (not JIF type, but the natural kind with peanuts and salt only) and a glass of OJ or apple juice.
L: Today bringing leftover chili to work (kidney pinto and navy beans, tomatoes, onions, garlic, chili peppers, orange and yellow bell pepper, jalapenos, potatoes (yup I went there), frozen sweet corn and peas, red pepper flakes, chili powder, and etc. Also bringing a slice of cornbread and a banana. Might get a side salad at work cafe.
D: Stirfry with brown rice, using up any vegetables that need it and with a coconut milk based sauce, lentil soup leftovers from the freezer (not salty) and banana nut bread.
Snacks: I eat fruit all day, and trail mix. A handful of almonds and a little dark chocolate is my favorite.
The hardest thing about being vegan is finding things to eat at places like sports bars. Side salad no cheese and spaghetti marinara ftw. :/ The only other thing is people calling you a dick for not eating meat (?) and everyone you know suddenly becoming a nutrition expert while you're just trying to eat your lunch.
I'll give you some links if you want, do you want food blogs, save $ blogs, health/nutrition studies, transitioning to veggie life links?

Thanks. I'm going to have to study this. You can give me some links now if you want. I know you're dying to
Now the whole forum is going to lose control over your donut penis. Weeeeeeeeei wear a donut around my penis!
I went to sleep shortly after posting this and woke up right after Ledboots replied because I'm gangsta as fuck.
I lose a portion of my control whenever I'm around cheese cake.
I eat huge portions, they're just low in calories, high in fiber. Carb it up baby

Whenever I make burgers on the grill, I fold diced jalapeno into the meat
Then top them with cheese, onion slices, and bacon.
Do the jalapeno and onion make it vegan friendly?

not if you eat at my house!
I don't know what his means. I just want to clarify that I'm not gay, but I'll try anything twice.
