What about the protein shake? I have never tried them so I don't know, but it seems like that would have alot of salt and sugar in it.

Engine 2 lentil loaf was yummy. Pretty easy recipe. Lots of good recipes on that site.

Do your best. Don't stress if you slip or think something is vegan and find later it isn't. About the transition it is an individual thing I guess. I went straight to vegan 4 months ago with no problem, but others have had issues. My only issue was my face did break out after a week or so but then cleared up. Probably just…

Welcome and good luck

Toast is an amazing comfort food.

Are you getting sick of it yet? Sorry if you have already addressed this.

According to the commercials I believe snickers are a superfood so Ima just eat that

We are getting off topic we can go back and forth. Or agree to disagree. I embrace the WFPB lifestyle. Do what works for you. I have my opinion you have yours.

The China Study was the largest nutrition study in the world. It is evidence based.

Yes, we need some fat in our diet but we do not need oil. Nature gave us olives, coconut, and avocados. Man made oil out of them. I think it is a fact that coconut oil is high in calories and fat. Some of the people who have started my journey into a whole foods plant based lifestyle are: Dr. Micheal Greger who started…

I do not live in the South. But I have never heard anyone not from the South reference a raccoon any way but raccoon. So if you say the shorter word. My first thought would be it was a slur. I will say I live in a very liberal, very butthurt part of our country. So yeah I guess I am easily buthurt. Lol

Yes it is my opinion. And yes there is science behind it. But I don't not always follow it. It was a suggestion for cutting calories. Do what you want. I hope it works for you. It was not declarative statement if you read it I specifically stated IMO in my original post. It amazes me how people feel it is OK to bash others…

Again a regional thing. I think it is only outdated due to it not being socially acceptable to be racist. I think if you get in a community where they are not so progressive, it would be a very common slur. My grandfather used to call Brazil nuts n****r toes. Until I was around 5 that's what I thought they were called by…

It's an old term used here too. But here they would have changed the name by now.

No it does not. And I did not say anything about white bread,rice, or potatoes. Just in case you didn't know IMO stands for MY OPINION. Not advice just my opinion. You don't like it do your own thing. I seriously hope it works out for you.

I must know what cheese you speak of...

I'll probably just make some grits with salsa. Yummy low calorie comfort

You can't gain weight eating too few calories.

Soda, pop, soft drink, some areas in the states call all soda coke.

Ummmmm tea

Vodka soda with lime or lemon.

Bread and grains are fuel and fiber. So yes they are the Savior. As long as they are not super refined. And no I am not promoting the food pyramid. Half of what is on it should never be in a healthy diet.

Beans I could eat a hill of them.

I do fine on 1200 cals but I eat back some of my exercise cals otherwise it would be

Lentil and barley soup, sourdough rye bread and dried plumbs.

I love the minimalist blog. But yes sometimes hard to adjust. I haven't been to diligent in getting to wipe. But need to work harder.

IMO all oils should be used as sparingly as possible if at all. I saute veggies with water or broth. Works just as well, and cuts 100s of calories out of your diet.

you rock do you have an open diary? Would love tips on meals.

Lol yes but it could be a regional thing but I have never heard of grape, peach, or pear jam, just jellies. Lol but there is also pear and apple butter.

Vegetarian mostly vegan. Working on trying plant based vegan. Would love more friends too but don't know how to friend on this app. Please feel free to friend me anybody.
