Hello and welcome. I find it easier once you make the connection between what is on your plate and what happens to the animals for it to be on your plate. It can be a challenge when you are around so many people that have not made the connection, but just keep in mind this is your body and you want to do right by it and…

I understand you are worried, but all you can really do. Is offer your help, talk to them truthfully about how you feel and the dangers that lay ahead. If they do not want to change they won't! you can't make them.

What about having some fruit, it's sweet and healthier for you than cookies, cake etc..

Not lies, truth. He is not pointing at you or anyone else who is eating meat, he is just answering a question.

sounds great, thanks for sharing

Are you weighing your food, it really does come down to eating in a deficit. I really see no reason to do low carb, if your have no health issues.

I eat a whole natural plant pure diet, I do get enough protein and enough fat. I wouldn't say I am low fat, but I do watch my fat. I don't add oil to my cooking, but I do eat nuts, avocados etc. I do not find this lifestyle restrictive at all or lacking any nutritionist I need. As long as you are eating a well balanced…

weight loss is 80 % diet and 20 % exercise. You do not need to kill yourself exercising to lose weight. It does help keep you in a deficit. I lost over 50 lbs with very little exercise, cause I was unable to. Now that I have lost 70 lbs I am able to do a lot more.

Plant pure all the way and loving every minute of it. Anyone feel free to add me, my dairy is open. But please leave a message. I am a mother of three and the whole family made the switch. If I don't want to put it in my body, I am not going to put it in my kids bodies :) even hubby is on board. No turning back, We've been…

Comfort food tonight, it was just that kind of day. Stew loaded with potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, celery and mush more plant pure base goodness.

Pasta with a homemade spinach, mushroom sauce with cashew mozzarella, and homemade lentil meatless balls

We love it, it's a great family outing. We have only found one so far. Can't wait for all this snow to go away. So we can get at it again.

Pulled jackfruit sandwiches with slaw (red cabbage, carrots, dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, some homemade dairy/egg free mayo and Dijon mustard)

Weigh everything you are putting in and on your sandwich, also weigh your bread than you can search the data base or enter your own recipe.

Tofu, beans, plants seitan, hemp, nuts etc..

I don't think it matters, you can be fat, skinny and unhealthy as a meat eater, a vegan or a vegetarian. People say all you need to do is eat in a deficit to lose weight a calorie is a calorie and they are right to a point IMO (which I am allowed to have) You can also be perfectly healthy eating a meat diet, a vegan diet…

We made homemade pizza pockets for dinner and cauliflower wings. The pizza pockets are stuffed with mushrooms, onion, bell peppers and onion oh and cashew mozzarella

Sorry what is the 5:2 diet? I just weigh my foods and completely changed what foods I eat (new lifestyle). NO diets for me. don't like them :) best of luck to you on your journey.

No containers, but I do weigh my foods and have completely changed the foods I eat.

Sweet potato, lentil pie and homemade bread

Yes if you are only going by the calories. The diet pop is still crap going into your body.

enchilada escarole and Mexican rice.

very very easy, all you need is frozen fruit, any kind. Blend it up till thick and creamy, I also add a little nut milk and vanilla sometimes even some cinnamon

Happy Birthday

Hello and welcome. I hit my one year just a couple days ago, down 70 lbs. Still have over 70 lbs to go.

I had left over teriyaki seitan stir-fry, some homemade hummus with blue corn chips and cucumber and a banana.

I made the switch to a whole natural plant base lifestyle a month ago, I don't eat raw vegan, mostly cooked, but I do eat a lot of raw fruits and veggies. I find I eat way more than I was, when I was eating animal products. In this month alone I have lost 13 lbs, nice side effect and I even upped my calories and my carbs…

It is different for everyone. I consider clean eating to be whole natural plant base foods.

Hello there, my dairy is open. You are more than welcome to add me and I do not judge on what others eat :)

UPDATE: Feb 19 2016 (I put the wrong year last time oops) CW 226, down another 2 lbs.
