iEG Crush: Yonanas!

Morgan D, April 17, 2013

Dessert is my favorite meal. Yep, I said it. If I could eat it all day everyday, I probably would. Cupcakes, cookies, ice cream; I love it all. Obviously I can’t eat dessert for every meal, despite my wishes. I would be the most unhealthy vegan and for the girl who writes “Weight Loss Wednesday,” we don’t want that; so, I fight off my constant need for desserts and save the treats for special occasions. If a friend bakes me a cupcake, of course I’m going to eat it. If … Continue reading →

Weight Loss Wednesday: Beginner’s Yoga Experience

IEG, March 27, 2013

I just started doing yoga a few months ago. I actually happened upon it as a sort of last-resort exercise. I’m not a great runner, in or outdoors , and gym exercises always seem to bore me. A lot of my more health conscious friends have been into yoga for quite some time, but I could never justify spending the money on it. I’m a college kid!

Foodie Tuesday: I Won’t Have the Salad

lindsay, February 26, 2013

Vegan restaurants have some of the yummiest salads on planet Earth, I am sure. Still, I’m not going to try them. When sweet potato paté, seitan meat loaf, and vegan mac and cheese are all looking at you with a come hither stare…it’s pretty easy to abandon the arugula. Continue reading →

Weight Loss Wednesday: Eat Clean, Be Lean

IEG, February 13, 2013

What does it mean to eat “clean”? Clean-eaters typically abstain from eating refined sugars, processed foods, gluten, and only eat pure, (mostly) organic, whole foods—foods that come from the earth. This, for me, includes: fruit, vegetables, nuts, legumes, beans, rice, and grains. Continue reading →
