    So not diet. Lifestyle change. I get it. Swapping or substitute. Finding the choices I can live with forever. Breakfast = fruit. Always. I can live with that. Less coffee more water. Ok. Swap jasmine rice and tofu or beans for brown rice & fresh organic vegetable. . New favorites condiment lime juice. #vegan #vegankids #veganlife #vegankid #running #faster #stronger #better
    Brown rice and Jasimine are almost the same nutritionally. Eat the one you like.
    Fruit does not work for me like that. I eat it at the end of my day.
    As you you see, you need to create a lifestyle that works for you and you need to be comfortable about modifying that again whenever you want.

    Ok. I thought this was a friendly supportable group. I did not realize I would be mocked & bullied on MFP. Sad. :(

    No one has mocked you or bullied you at all. Seriously.

    You just don't "get it" as you stated.

    Please show one post where you are mocked and/or bullied.
    People are simply disagreeing with you, expressing their opinions or giving you excellent advice.
    I'm truly astounded that you feel bullied or mocked!

    If you find that this new plan works for you and is sustainable, then go for it. I think everyone else is speaking from their own experiences or from what they know/heard/read about and sharing it with you. And their opinion seems to be that this doesn't sound sustainable.
    I'm new here, so I have no advice. I don't know any better. Except that, to do what you think works best for you and adjust accordingly.

    There are people who don't want advice or even disagreement. They expect 100% cheerleading no matter what they've said.

    OP, I hope you consider the ideas that others have posted. Ultimately, you need to do what works for you.

    @debbiesmallnet - I thought the replies were very informative and not a single one bullied you or mocked. All they said was that, contrary to your original post, you don't quite get yet the idea of lifestyle change. Try re-reading the replies, especially one from @seska422

    @moosiemom, the problem with this approach is that almost every single person thinks that the plan they are on is healthy and sustainable but people who actually lost weight and maintained it off for a while have seen this over and over and know that 2 months or even sooner, hypothetically speaking, into the aforementioned weight loss plan they binge and then "fall of the wagon". At the same time, none, seems to be, is receptive to any advice

    @MasterVal I agree. I was hoping that OP will do what she thinks is best; and by trial and error, adjust accordingly to reach her goals. If she doesn't reach her goals, or something goes wrong, then maybe she'll look back in this thread, and maybe discover where she might have made a mistake. Either way, she'll end up doing what she wants to do, regardless of what she reads.

    Disagreement is not bullying. Other people disagreeing with you = the consequences of putting an opinion on the internet. It just is.

    That said, if it's working for you, do you.

    I'm not sure what the point of your thread is supposed to be. Are you looking for help making new habits? Asking people to eat like you do? Trying to inspire? Looking for support?

    I just don't know, I don't do those pound sign / hashtag things. Decided to skip that fad entirely, lol. You wacky kids with your newfangled twitterings and kiks. I'm confounded, dagnabbit. ;)

    I'm vegan...have been for a long time. I work hard, lift heavy and eat just as heavy. I do not think this is sustainable or even healthy in the long run. Protein is crazy important, especially if you are exercising. Brown rice is no better than white, unless you worry about potential arsenic, in which case it's worse.

    There is nothing wrong with beans, they are great for you. Nothing wrong with tofu, either. I prefer seitan, but that's me. Still eat a heck of a lot of tofu.

    Nuts, legumes, veggies, fruits... they are all great.

    It's not about what you eat... it's quantity and moderation that matter. Also, how do you get a fully balanced micro nutrient ratio or even enough of an amino acid profile eating like that?
