Walnuts, a small quantity fills me up because it's so high in fat "1 oz: 180 calories", or peanuts/almonds Salad, I use lots of cucumber and tomatoes Fresh fruit

So what I understood is: Salt is essential, but in moderation, like 2/3-1 teaspoon per day or what equals 2300 mg. Sea salt is better than table salt? Certainly it looks better :love:

I understand :smiley: 1 teaspoon sounds enough for me too Thank you!

Drinking plenty of water Chewing gum Drinking herbal tea/coffee "with no sugar/calorie free sweetner" Doing something you enjoy, for me it was listening to music :smiley:

I had a similar problem, I don't know whether it was binge eating or not, but I used to eat till my stomach hurt and I actually forced myself to vomit twice because I felt so awful. What I did was preparing healthy snacks "mainly vegetables, salad", writing this goal down on a paper to make it more real, chewing sugar-free…

Oh my God!!! *_* :love: they look so beautiful!! Especially black salt, himalayan salt and cyprus sea salt flakes :love: :love: I think I'm gonna add some variety to the salt I use :sunglasses: :love:

Athletic

:lol: I never knew there were so many types of salt in the first place :hushed: Maybe just a pinch? :naughty:

Just stick to your calories and you'll see the pounds drop off, try to eat healthy food and do a bit of exercise, walking maybe. :smiley:

I never loved curves! wish I could be flat :lol:

I have to use salt because of its iodine content :neutral: at first I was annoyed because I got used to eating without it, but I have to admit that it does indeed make everything taste better :love:

Thank you so much :smiley: Are avocadoes good in smoothies? I find they taste bland when used on their own :pensive:

Sounds good, thanks! :star: what can I use in place of chia seeds? Or can i omit them all together?

Ok thank you :smiley: almond milk is okay?

I tried collards with apple and banana, was really awful :cry: probably because I used a large amout of collards :lol: wish I'd seen this sooner Thanks!

Not sure whether I'll be able to find it in the supermarket :disappointed: but I will look for it nonetheless :sunglasses:

Sounds really good *_* will give it a shot

Thank you all, this has been very helpful! :smiley:

I use Tahini "sesame butter" and it tastes really good :smiley:

Parsley, carrots and apples :D Use more apples to make it sweeter Was very delicious :relieved:

Here :smiley: been vegetarian for over a month :relaxed: Wish you the best of luck

I believe they're both of equal importance :smile: and I found that eating a healthy balanced diet usually delivers most vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Vegetables, fruits and legumes plus whole grains and nuts are very good sources of the nutrients we need :D

My dietary vitamin D levels are very low, almost non-existent, but I thought that being exposed to sunlight might be enough :/ so do I need to get vit D also from food?

Will give it a shot! thanks :smile:

Thanks! :D that was really helpful

Got it. Thank you! :smile:

Keep up the great work! :smiley:

You can use supercook, I love it very much. You can input the ingredients you have, what to restrict "like meat and poultry" and what type of dish do you want "for example Asian or mediterranean", and also what type of meal. It will get you all the recipes you can make. If you want something specific, you can use filters…

I am eating a plant-based diet and I know there are conflicting thoughts about cholesterol and such, but I'm happy with it and that's the point :smile: everyone should eat what makes them feel satisfied and happy

People's judgement is not something to count on. What matters is what you feel and what you want...so if you feel like losing a few pounds, then go ahead and do it :smile: And If you want to find whether you're fat or not, you can calculate your body mass index (weight in pounds*703) / (height in inches squared) A BMI…
