Did I say anything about having to consume 100g of protein? No. I am talking about "great sources of protein"ok, but you dont NEED 100 g of protein. i eat around 75-85g a day. but i work out 6 days a week so i think its necessary30 grams only?
I'd die.
No way.
I eat close to 100 on a regular basis and I'm not even trying.
lol ok and there are PLENTY of great plant based proteins so. relax.0 -
because its a general numberFirst, let me say WOW!!!!!! Seriously....WOW!!! I had no idea people would react so severely to a truly honest question. Everyone is different. As you can see, I have lost well over 70lbs. I didn't do it by simply starving myself. I have been balancing my diet and working out. I was a bit busy so I rushed my entry a bit. But let me explain a bit further, I have been feeling a bit sluggish lately and have been trying to find a HEALTHY way to boost my energy and also cleanse my body. I believe I mentioned that in my original post. Some people suggested a master cleanse but that was too drastic for me. Based on what I've read, I thought the possibility of a mainly raw diet for a few days might do me some good. My apologies on the misleading headline as I fully intend to have other sources of protein and healthy fats.
But seriously, there is no need to be negative. There is a way to explain something to someone without trying to make them feel like a complete idiot. Thank you to all who are cheering me on whether you agree or not.
For all of you that don't know, below is a very SHORT list of vegan/vegetarian sources for protein.
Corn yellow
Sun-dried tomatoes
Soy Peas
Cowpeas (blackeyes)
Navy beans
Peas
Lima beans
Brussel sprouts
Spinach
Broccoli
Potato
Asparagus
Tofu
Tempeh
Chickpeas
Endamame
ok
tell me what food group and how much of it you would have to eat to reach 100g of protein other than tofu
What horrible things do you think will happen to the OP if she gets less than 100g of protein per day for 7 days?
did I say anything about it being unhealthy for 7 days?
I keep seeing people talk about "great sources of protein" when the protein intake is far below 10% of the calories.
Since the OP didn't say what her protein goal was, where did you get this magic number of 100g if it doesn't have to do with her goals or her health?
Ok
Where can she get 75g of protein? how much food would she have to consume to get that?0 -

She could always have a vegan protein shake, if that were her goal. But agin, not hitting that goal for 7 straight days will not make much difference in the grand scheme of things.0 -
Hello all,
This week I will be eating fruits and vegetables. I am doing this kind of to prepare for Thanksgiving. I know I will indulge in a lot of foods that are usually off limits. So I decided, I may be able to prevent a huge set back in my weight loss journey by doing this. I have been hearing a lot about "juicing" and shake diets but I think I need the option of actually chewing food lol. Have any of you had experience with juicing or shakes?
I'm hoping to see some great non scale results after these 7 days such as: mental clarity, more vibrant skin etc. What do you all think?
I don't understand why you think a week on fruit and veg is going to 'prepare' you for a day of over-eating. And why are the foods you will eat 'off limits'? The point of a calorie counted eating plan is that NOTHING is off limits. You just eat what you want...but you eat small amounts.
Why do you need to have a binge just because it's one of the USA holidays? Will you have to do the same at Christmas .....and New Year.....and Easter......0 -

DO NOT eat raw turkey though. Salmonella is no freakin joke! :sick:
But it's a helluva diet plan, last time I had some undercooked poultry from the crazy chicken place, I lost like 10 lbs over night.0 -

yes. and this is completely off topic. shes not talking about her protein or fat goals. shes was looking for people who have done similar detoxes or whatever she wants to do, i can't even remember because ive been reading too many ignorant posts from people like you.0 -

I'd like to know...what are you cleansing? Your body is not in need of cleansing...
ETA: NOT trying to turn this into a cleansing thread...just curious...0 -
Yah no...you need protien and fats in your diet.
I know the Thanksgiving in the States is huge but why not just eat the food in moderation????
Beans and avocado
Why would one eat beans and avocado in moderation on Thanksgiving?
Apparently so that you can fart as much as possible and offend as many family members and friends as you possibly can!!!0 -

But it's probably a quick way to lose some weight - quite possibly the ultimate cleanse. Just sayin'0 -
Lots of protein in dark, leafy greens. And potatoes are vegetables. Go for it!
You'd have to eat 2.2 pounds (one kilo) of spinach to get a measly 29g of protein. Have fun with that.
Agree0 -
Blender fruit and veggie with water. That way you can chew the fiber of the fruit and veggies. Blending doesn't liquify the fruits and veggies0
