On the exercise bit, you know you're supposed to be working your muscles every *other* day, right? Like, do crunches one day and push ups the next? If you give the muscles a day to rest in between they'll tone up more nicely and look more defined in the long run.
On the eating bit, I cannot help you. Last night my gym instructor asked for a substitute for chocolate. She tried making some brownie cake thing with carob and thinks she might have screwed up the recipe but now she's convinced that carob is horrible gross stuff. So if you have a foolproof and really really good carob recipe (nothing with peanut butter, they don't like it over here), send it this way. And for that matter... What do you snack on when you crave chocolate? Because I know it's not chocolate. How *do* vegans gorge?
