Just read the thread where it is advised NOT to count calories. I have seen this argument when doing research on this way of eating. However have also seen where some people on the internet still believe in it. The “Keto guru” said she kept to low calories and low carbs. I just think it’s so darn hard to do both. What do…

I am interested as well. Can use all the help I can get😁

Thanks, Janejellyroll!! Helps!

WOW. So many vegans, vegetarians, and WFPB people!! I had just started the Whole Foods deal, then got diverted by colon operation, and now back in it. I mean the SAD diet probably caused my colon issues so on to health!! Anyone having success losing weight with vegan or WFPB? There are many theories - Dr Furhman is more…

Omnivore - like that you know what you like and stick to it. I have a friend who also eats meat - but they have a small farm and they eat what they’ve raised and fed and show kindness and grace to the animals , sounds hippieish I know but Much better than all the commercially raised products full of medicine.

Great idea. I have looked around for nutritionist - none here in coastal SC. a GI guy consulted originally is WFPB and was almost thinking of obtaining a consult with him. Surgeon told me today no restrictions on what to eat. Raw? Ok beans? Ok. So I’ll play it by est

Am recovering from bowel restructuring surgery after a year of recurring diverticulitis- want to continue plant based but it’s really rough on my system right now so thought I’d get back slowly. Any thoughts?

Great!!! Would love to get tips from you! Started a month ago but feel didn’t do the whole thing well. Then had to have surgery and now that am recovering from that, plan to start again. So nice someone knows about wfpb. Need to lose and as an old person - harder When you plan ahead - do you have base recipes you use? I…

I agree with the person who said there can be fat vegetarian and fat vegans. You can eat junk and be vegan. After research and watching videos like “what the health” and “forks over knives” I have decided to be mostly whole plant food based which is going further than just vegan. I am doing this for my personal health…

I'm in Little River, just north of Myrtle Beach. I get your frustration, however, 55 pounds since January is amazing. A pat on the back for you!!! Try not to stress about it, and eat as healthy as possible, which means lots of wonderful vegetables and fruits along with your protein. I tried a high protein and very low carb…

Oh have also disconnected and reconnected to no avail.

Question. My fit it was showing up nicely in mfp until I went out of town away from laptop where the dongle?is attached. I typically use my phone to record in mfp anyway. But now I can't get mfp to pick up steps again since we're back in town. Frustrating as had more steps than ever.

Good morning ladies - I've been away from here for a week and it will take me that long to read everything!!! Feel like I needed to get my head back on straight - was eating way too much crap ( and writing down how it made me feel - mostly sick both physically and emotionally ). So, feel like I can make better choices…

Would love this! CW 196 GW 120 - ultimately GW by 12/25 155

Heather - thanks for the great words - I am losing weight slowly, but this is a life change and feeling like I am making healthy choices which is much more important - and freeing in a way - than a quick fix. Partner (we live together but not married as have military health insurance and can't (won't) give that up) loves…

Hey guys - have been reading a discussion about whether you should eat back your exercise calories and many people said that if you eat too few calories, then it stalls any loss. What do you think? Today, I did a cardio strength class, then did weight training in the gym for 20 minutes, then came home and took dog for a…
