Do you worry about all the sugar you're eating with fruits?
I started yesterday. I am worried about the sugar and carbs. However I am finding it easier to keep within my calories as I am able to eat lots of things all day.
What's to worry about?
Don't believe the woo that carbs and sugar are bad.
I am going to try and stick to this for the challenge and see what the results are. Day 3 and I am feeling slimmer already around my stomach. I love the sugar.1 -
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.10 -

This post has me laughing so hard
I'm not noticing any difference in 'that' area, but I also haven't hit 800g yet. It might still be coming lol. I did have stomach issues last night (bloating/gas), but I contribute that to the beans I ate (I don't think I've had beans in months?). Need to get some Beano before I have them again.2 -
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.

Hmmm.... have you tried "liquidating your assets" with plenty of water?
Also you just killed me with laughter! This will have me laughing the rest of the day!1 -

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)1 -

I didn't think anything could top the original post, but I think you've somehow managed to.
I have not experienced a stagnant return on my portfolio. In fact, the return on yesterday's investment was quite robust, even more than my normal daily return.
I do have to say that I am enjoying how efficiently eating more raw vegetables is dealing with my hunger. I think I'll keep this up after the challenge. I've been struggling with some issues lately, and this challenge is helping me tremendously with those.3 -

LOL!!! Yes, I've been (very) frequently dollar-cost-averaging my investments at Golden Partners Stock Brokerage, Inc.

I've been very casually in a deficit for the past few weeks to get my maintenance range a bit lower, but I've been seeing few ounces-.5lb loss per week. To see a whole pound drop was unexpected! Anyone else seeing unexpected numbers on the scale?
I only weigh in on a Sunday so I'll update you then.
I track to get a 0.5lb loss.1 -

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.9 -

180g black beans with onions, celery, and peppers
...
If I estimated correctly and my math is right, that's 995g. The serving of black beans was a little on the large side, so maybe it should have counted for less than 180g.
...
Bad news is that you can only count 80g of your black beans.
Good news is you still smashed target, well done!
It's 80g of black beans, plus an indeterminate amount of onions, celery, and peppers. It's pretty tough to estimate sometimes.

Consider that certain inputs - avocados, say - will enhance both investment positions.5 -
