    Anyone else feeling a bit burned out from their higher veg/fruit consumption this morning? I think the prep/tracking is what's getting to me, since before this I was just doing mostly mental math for my calorie intake. I forgot how tedious recording everything can be :p

    Not me. I tend to have somethings ready to go. At dinner I will keep the leftovers for the next day so that I only need to heat and eat. Or maybe I'll have things tat require little prep on hand like carrots or various fruits. It would get exhausting otherwise for sure. Also, I just jot down the food and gram weight of what I had then come in at my leisure to record it.

    So.....how to phrase this delicately......

    I just wanted to make a report on my, ahem, holdings and deposits at the Brown & Co. Fidelity-Fiduciary Bank & Trust. Having consumed a combined 78 grams of fiber over two days, I really feel like my investment results should have been more robust and impressive. Is it possible for things to just sit in there, and how long does it take to get a "return on equity" for ones investments? Since I dedicated a large portion of my portfolio to Industrial Blueberry holdings, I do feel like I have seen positive net flows with this particular investment, having noted an interesting consistency, color, and more-pleasant-than-one-would-expect odor from this commodity tranche.

    Also, i continue to have kind of a "blech"stomach although not the full-on tummy ache I had the first evening. I had some scrambled eggs and salsa this morning, but really don't feel like eating anything, although I feel perfectly fine and energetic otherwise.

    I still have the banana, apple, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and green pepper on my desk, staring at me grimly, and also with what appears to be a touch of judgment.

    Research (about digestive transit time) suggests that it may take up to 50+ hours for your deposits to be translated to their ultimate returns. Be aware, though, that continuing on your current investment course will result in a higher-than-previous daily average balance in your working-capital accounts, so that losses in other assets (such as the Long-Term Lipid Bonds) may be temporarily masked by said new working capital.

    Besides the all-important portfolio liquidity previously discussed up-thread, be aware that a modest but regular current co-investment in alternative products (i.e., fats) are also necessary for optimum rate of return.

    But it will all come out fine in the end.

    Thanks for the hot tip! I am rebalancing my portfolio and going long fats! B)

    I am pleased to report that I have recouped the dividends that have been in arrears and my books are now fully balanced, between last night and this morning. And...that's all I have to say about that. :#

    HAHA!! Good to know!
    You know, I wish for once I could "make a deposit" before I step on the scale in the morning! I never get to the "bank teller" until after I have had coffee and my usual morning water then the scale does not reflect the appropriate balance!

    Warm Fruit Snack (for cold winter days)

    Small apple chopped
    Small banana chopped
    Sprinkle with lemon (bottled ok) and honey and cook in the microwave for one minute on medium then stir and another minute if you want the fruit mushy.
    Add some yogurt or peanut butter or both ...

    I have been having this as a nice afternoon snack as it was just too cold for cold fruit!

    The only downside to ten a day is the preparation but I am fitting in lots of fruit and veg quite easily so I intend to stick to the challenge.



    Yes! I've spent more time in my kitchen these past couple days, than I have in months lol. But, I think it will get easier/faster the more I do it (I hope lol)

    Yes I was looking at some ready chopped swede in the supermarket today to make it easier.

    I wonder if there is a way to encourage a change? I mean aside from a laxative of some kind. Just about an hour earlier would be about right.

    Ugh! I did it! I ended up with over 800 grams fruit vegetables and am still full this morning. I am not a volume eater, I guess?

    I know this sounds mean but I'm glad I'm not the only one :D

    I feel uncomfortably full most of the time.

    Thursday:

    15 g golden raisins
    15 g Craisins
    16 g onions
    12 g sun-dried tomatoes
    67 g bell peppers
    100 g zucchini
    103 g celery
    30 g sweet potato hummus
    140 g strawberries
    101 g carrots
    1 g (30 g) vegetable pasta - the "veggie" part is dried tomato and spinach added to color the pasta

    = 600 g

    My Brown & Co. withdrawal was the regular price, no interest or service fees. I will say my gas is really rank this week.

    30g Dried mango
    30g Dried pears= 160g as 30g dried fruit counts as one portion :)
    Mixed veg 160g
    Garlic 3g
    Carrots 81g
    Cabbage 65g
    Mushrooms 104g
    Cauliflower 123g
    Banana 190g

    Equiv 886g

    It made it a bit easier adding in some dried fruit.

    Any one else look like they are about to give birth to a medicine ball? B)

    Ya know this may be why they say a diet with a lot of fruits and vegetables is good for weight loss. It really does have a lasting fullness factor doesn't it?

    I am one of those luck "low exhaust" types! Thankfully! Sometimes though I will get ahold of something that really turns me into that medicine ball I quote next!

    Fruit does bloat me a bit! And here I was contemplating stewed prunes! That may not be a bad idea if I really want to swing by Brown & Co. before I step on the scale!

    Not really.... I think I must have the world's biggest stomach. Or digest quickly... Or something! (I'm having a giggle at all the comments about people being full... I could easily add another meal or two if I had the calories!)

    I hear you. I always feel a little bit bitter on weigh in day after I weigh, log, have a coffee and some water, THEN have to go.

    Yeah, me, too. I found I get better satiation if I include lots of veggies in my day, but they don't leave me feeling maxed out, at least not for long.

    I hope some of the folks who're finding them so astoundingly filling will post to that effect on some of the perennially recurring "I'm so hungry" threads over in General Diet & Weight Loss - it could make a meaningful improvement in micro-nutrient consumption MFP-wide. ;)

    I think if someone isn't accustomed to all that fiber and water content it can really have that effect in a huge way. Also, From my own experience, I find vegetables and fruits to be more satiating than some other types of things. I usually feel pretty full for about 2-2 1/2 hours then I feel hungry again.

    220 g canned pears
    90 g pico
    65 g cherry tomatoes
    125 g banana
    [80] g green machine naked smoothie
    70 g pickled peppers
    30 g blueberries
    [80] g sweets and beets chips
    125 g tomatoes

    For a grand total of 975.

    Not sure if it is a medicine ball, but my mom pot is definitely a little more prominent. Today was a little easier with the more highly processed pears, juice, and chips. I feel like you should get extra credit when the juice is Frankenstein green. Yeah, definitely haven't felt like eating a lot all day, except for that blueberry scone!

    Yes, I will be evangelizing on the "So hungry!!!!!!!" threads!

    I managed 578 grams today but I am really sucking at this. Did the powers that be really think that people can eat this much fruit and vegetables? How did they come up with 10 fruits/vegetables? My protein intake is lacking. And if I cut back on other carbs like bread or pasta just so I can eat more fruit/vegetables, I will hate life. Don't get me wrong, I love fruit and vegetables but..........

    How many more days? Lol
