I decided to go vegan and I would like to know how this diet sounds. Last time I went vegan, i was a raw vegan and i lost a ton of hair and a ton of weight. I dont want to lose any hair this time. so what would be the best foods for me?

on my grocery list i put: brocolli, asparagus, potatoes, marinara sauce and salsa, soy mac n cheese (Amy’s Organics), apples, pears, bananas, soy icecream, vegan dressing (for my mixed greens), soy yogurt, kashi nuggets (cereal item), vegan pizza (Amy’s Organics), lara bars, vegan black beans. anything else i should add?

Ok, I just read the book "Skinny Bitch." so now I’m all hyped up and ready to tackle this vegan thing. I was already a fairly healthy eater. Mostly lean chicken, salmon, and whitefish type stuff, but of course ate cheese, and milk, and eggs. Anyway, today was my first Vegan Day. I did great. No cravings really. Fruit for breakfast (I passed on my normal morning coffee!), beans and veggies for lunch, and whole wheat pasta, with sun-dried tomatoes olive oil and fresh garlic, and mixed veggies for dinner along with a Morningstar PizzaBurger and half of an organic wheat bun with some organic ketchup. How did I do? I need ideas. How are some of the non-dairy cheeses? Especially the parmesan-type stuff. I really missed that on my pasta tonight. I need some support here guys. Thanks for all your help!

I already know the obvious, ramen, mac & cheese, vegetables, oatmeal, soup, pasta, rice, hot cocoa.. coffee obviously, I heard that you can make pancakes on the warmer part, but I’ve looked all through what Mr. Google says and can find very little information on the topic. Does anyone else know what you can make? And I know i could just get a hotplate, but I’m moving around and want to find that one small appliance that can do anything, and I believe the coffee maker is it!
