I have suffered from hormonal acne my entire life. In my experience I have had the best skin when I avoid chocolate (especially dark) ... However, it is a MYTH that diet causes acne. It is a hormonal imbalance. Which, yes, can be affected by diet and food. This may be gross (it is to me), but eating liver 2x / week is said…

Hi friends, zachduden (who started this post) is amazing. ANYONE feel free to add me, having friends makes being on this site, that much more fun!

Nutritional yeast, and unsalted butter!

Eating soy protein, and other dairy-free protein drinks or foods leaves a smaller carbon footprint... Its a sustainable source of protein. Your carbon footprint shrinks with every plant-based meal you choose. HOWEVER, I agree that soy is not the best.. (I suffer from hormonal disorders) .... There are protein powders,…

OMG, I just lol'd at some of these responses.... Especially the cat bum one... Anyway. I blend my coffee every morning with coconut oil... Eating FAT surpasses my appetite, via fish oil, coconut oil, evening primrose, etc.... I recommend, keep it up!

Dude, it feels low.... It felt low for me for the first 2-3 months and then my body adapted. When you exercise, you can eat more and that helps. I like to eat ~1500 calories a day so I make sure I go on a walk and practice yoga daily in order to stay in that 1200 calorie range...

MORE SALAD, no need for pasta (in my opinon) .. If you chopped the meat up and tossed into a large salad you're only looking at 3-400 calories.

VegaOne is my favorite, I like berry flavor in smoothies, and Chai flavor in Coffee.

German Muesli... (Oats) ... Look up recipes online.

If you're like me, then try not to go on a 3-4 day alcohol binge after letting yourself have one drink. Seriously, take it easy. If you don't have a problem with alcoholism, you should be fine just for one night. 2-3 drinks, and that's it though. It's not worth getting wasted at this age. & especially if you're trying to…

Beans, legumes, chickpeas, soybeans, etc. Seriously, you have to work up your tolerance, but they are low in fat and high in protein..

Feel free to add me as a friend, I am not paleo. But I eat whole foods (from the source), and lots of fruits and veggies.

1 cup spinach 1 banana 1/2 cup non-milk 1/4 cup non-fat yogurt 1 cup frozen blueberries 1 TBS protein powder (I like VegaOne) I have a Vitamix, so you may need to reduce the proportions in order to fit this all in your bullet.

I second this! I take Spectrum Fish Oil tablets 3000 mg/day and it has increased my stamina, mood, and mental clarity!

Thank you!

Lemon is a very nutritious seasoning, I like to put lemon on steamed veggies, pancakes (with syrup), in water, and in tea! It is full of vit. c and potassium and aids digestion, and cleans the liver. I recommend.

Also, I shop at Grocery Outlet, which is California's Bargain Market..

I am a broke college student. I am not a big cook either, but I try to only shop in produce at the grocery store. Veggies are so cheap. Also if you have a rice cooker (that just plugs into the wall), rice is a super cheap food. I get a whey protein or vegan protein powder (more $) and stir it in coffee every morning and…

I practice yoga and run. I never eat before either of these things because I do them first thing in the morning after I wake up... However, if I worked out in the evening I would not eat anything 2 hours prior the work out... But 2 hours prior I would have pickles, cucumbers and cheese, or walnuts and an apple. Protein and…

I drink a lot of water (often > 8 glasses a day), because I live in a warmer climate and I work-out.

WTG! I am not vegan, but I eat nutritious foods. My roomie, who I adore, is vegan... So we eat a lot of vegan meals together.

I used to make smoothies before I lived in on-campus housing. Now I make coffee and stir in 2 TBS of VegaOne protein powder (Chai flavor).... ~100 calories. I eat a big lunch and dinner, so I don't need too much sustenance in the morning.

Dude, popcorn is a WHOLE FOOD &&& super low in calories. Make it for yourself at home to avoid a scary amount of oil and highly refined butter though. Not as yummy, I know.. But add some healthy organic butter, salt and nutritional yeast and you've got yourself an easy fix.

AGREED!!!!! (My snoring always gets better when I take out dairy ... and alcohol.)

I, personally, have never done a fast longer than 10 days, so 60 days sounds like a pretty intense experience to me. However, if you're doing smoothies, I'd recommend that you add yogurt, various nuts and seeds, and a (vegan) protein powder to your drinks in order to be sure you are getting the proper nutrition and not…

If you eat dried fruit 1/4 cup counts as 1 serving. Because of all the conflicting information out there, it makes sense to me to make my own plan. I recommend 2-4 servings of fruit a day and 6-10 servings of veggies. One serving of fruit could be a small apple, 1/2 banana, 1/4 cup dried fruit, plum, 1/2 grapefruit etc.…
