  • I don't have a Whole Food around me so I'm not sure of the purchasing options there but... bulk is the way to go if you can find it. I can get it for $7 lb from the bulk bins at a local health store, yet another one 5 miles away only sells the NOW bottled brand at 10 oz for $15... Shop around for the best price as nooch…
  • I have a Fitbit Charge(not the HR). I didn't buy it, had a family member send it to me. After two weeks, I don't see the point in it. Still at the gym every day. My wife has a Garmin watch thing with a GPS/HR/who knows what else. It seems much more useful than a band that tells me I went 1.5 miles and 3k steps during the…
  • Google.. It's a good thing veganweightwatchers.com/
  • Try LaCroix. My wife loves'em. Fizzy but no calories, no sweetener, and no sodium.
  • It's your life. Take the reins and cause a mutiny. No point in heading off a mutiny if it means you won't be around for the 7 people you didn't want upset over the meal options.

  • Bake/microwaved then topped with Garlic & Herb Ms. Dash, some Sriracha, and nooch.
  • Happens to me sometimes. I go 45 min. Now I make it a point to re-position my feet in the "pedals"every so often. Shuffle them forward or back... Seems to help.
  • That's almost 40g of saturated fat per "breakfast". Around 4 days worth. Hell, a healthier option would be a Big Mac and small fry from McDonalds with 2 cups of black coffee. Around the same calories and only 9g of saturated fats. But I digress. To each his own. Bread is usually a no go on low/no carb.…
  • Holy empty calories Batman!!! For two cups of coffee?? Ouch lol
  • en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5:2_diet "unconstrained eating the other five days" Yep, I could do some major damage during those 5 days, a lot more than 2 days of starving myself could fix. :-)
  • About $1k here, but that's everything for the month. Food, toiletries, cat stuff, laundry, cleaning.. Family of 5.
  • Well... I fall under the "total vegetarian" label not the "vegan" label, so take this for what it's worth... Eating meat, eggs, and cheese... Nope, don't think you can call yourself a vegan or even a vegetarian at this point. But here's the good news... It's just a label, who cares.... Veganism is so much more than simply…
  • I went total vegetarian about 3 months ago. Was a nutritional decision, not ethical, so really not a "vegan". Diet is the same though... Also mostly avoiding anything processed (except for Sriracha). No transition, went cold veggie. :# I love The Vegan Zombie on Youtube, and if you don't mind some colorful language my…
  • I've been drinking my breakfast for a while now. 3 cups Kale 2 cups Spinach 2 stalks Celery 1 Carrot 1 Tomato 1 clove Garlic Half a Beet Handful of Parsley 1 Tbls Ground Flax seeds 1 Tbls Ground Chia seeds 2 tsp Turmeric Lots of water Throw it all in my Ninja and blend away. Eat an ounce of walnuts or almonds while I wait.…
  • Hmm... I'm no nutritionist, but what you are looking for doesn't exist. The calories in food are the energy. My car gets 30 miles per gallon. Doesn't matter if if I fill up using $1.80 per gallon regular unleaded or $2.50 per gallon ultra plus unleaded. Gas is the energy source for my car. Calories are the energy source…
  • Best bet may be to youtube it. I love it right out of the package without anything! Lol check out the vegan zombie on youtube. He's a blast.
  • I use it. Love, love, love it on popcorn. Also use it in a few seitan recipes. Don't make them often cause my wife hates the though of me eating all that gluten...
  • Haha... as far away as possible. 100 lbs. BUT (that is a big but!) at least I got to say good bye to the 400's this morning!
  • Wow, so many variables... If you give a lot more info on the details (your weight, age, exercises done, weights, sets, reps, intensity level, type of cardio...) someone might give you a range of calories you may have burned but that's about it. Tough one to guess. Good luck to you!
  • I agree 100% with bran. I smoked for about a decade and then used smokeless tobacco for the next decade. When I quit I was taking in about 4 cigarette packs worth of nicotine a day and quit cold turkey. All the research shows if you really want to quit and stay quit cold turkey gives you the best chance. Any NRT (nicotine…
  • Cool thread. I recently quit smokeless tobacco and one of the major premises of the website I joined was to take it one day at a time (ODAAT), or even just minutes at a time when the cravings are strong. I still, 156 days later, sign on to the site first thing every morning and post my promise to not use nicotine for the…
  • Hi. I just joined the group last week. :-) My whole eating healthier/dieting started Oct 15th. My take on goals is a little different this go around on the diet train. Over the summer, June 18th, I quit using smokeless tobacco. It was a rough few months during which time I learned a lot about dealing with cravings and not…
