Well, I have to say, I’m still glad I went vegan. Still pretty much eating the same stuff I was cooking before like red cabbage, shepherd’s pies, tofu dishes, etc. I’m sorry to say that I haven’t found a very supportive vegan community yet-online or off. Lately, I have been looking for some inspiration to stay the course. Although I still have flashbacks about the videos I saw, I see these articles about how unhealthy this way of eating is. It scares me a little. So, I’m checking out stuff on Wellsphere to see if I can make sure that I stay healthy on this journey.

PLEASE check out Colleen Patrick-Goudreau of Compassionate cooks. She has an unbelieveable amount of information about living as a vegan and your health. She has a podcast called “food for thought”, and a website called “compassionate cooks” with an enormous vegan community (message boards) that should help you feel supported. I have been Vegan for 10 years and have listened to all of her podcasts ( free downloads on itunes or her website) and I continue to do so on a weekly basis because I too need the support. You will find answers to your vegan health questions, calcium, protein, etc. Good luck and keep up the good work!
what articles are you reading? i’d be interested to see what they are saying… i can possibly see if they say consuming too much soy, but consuming too much anything isn’t good for you…. variety and moderation are key. let me know where i can read those articles!
