I just started in Sept and I've lost 20 lbs so far. Glad to see you found a healthy balance with a WFPB diet. I hope I can do the same.

Sorry to hear that.

You think I don't know? Some people on here are obsessively counting calories and still struggling to lose weight and have a calorie deficit. It's hard to eat too many calories when you eat wfbp diet so I don't know how you couldn't create a deficit and meet your goal with this type of eating. And you don't have to obsess…

If you eat more plants you don't have to count calories, is my point. And I'm just being honest about my transition to a WFPB diet. I am a work in progress but still losing weight. If I eat 21 times a week and only 6 meals are not WFPB then that means I am 71% WFPB. And I have a plan to transition to 100% in January. I…

Try The Happy Pear and Cooking With Plants on YouTube both incredible channels and easily accessed ingredients and recipes. Just be aware that they are outside the US so make sure you do accurate conversions. Cooking with Plants does list the imperial conversions on her blog which is always linked on her videos.

Not vegan but whole foods plant based♥️ just started in Sept and already lost 20lbs. I love The Happy Pear on YouTube because they use all whole foods and mostly easily accessed ingredients. So many vegan vloggers use substitute vegan meats and cheeses which are so heavily processed, but I don't think I have ever seen them…

I eat 55-70% carbs, unprocessed or low processed carbs and I have lost 20 lbs since Labor Day. Research 80/10/10 and whole food plant based diets.

Try googling "reversing heart disease on a plant based diet," you could save his life. http://www.dresselstyn.com/site/success-stories/ As far as sodium goes, stay away from canned and packaged foods eat whole foods and season them yourself. Also we use Mrs. Dash seasoning blends, they are salt free and they don't use…

Last minute cleaning out my pantry vegan chili Mac! Elbow noodles Potato soup milk "cheese" sauce 1 can of Rotel tomatoes and green Chili's Kale

I recommend this recipe, but I also encourage you to research the truth about your protein needs. This recipe, when I made it with bulgur wheat not seitan, had about 167 calories per cup. https://www.brandnewvegan.com/recipes/best-damn-vegan-chili-ever

I make my own refried beans with red lentils and pinto beans. I follow the standard refried beans recipe but just sub lentils for half of the beans. They are high calorie because of the lentils but also high protein. I use them to make quesadillas usually adding in a little cheese onions and bell peppers for extra flavor…

https://www.brandnewvegan.com/recipes/best-damn-vegan-chili-ever This chili recipe comes together quickly. My family enjoys it and ingredients are cheap. When I made it it made 9 cups for about 167 called per cup. There's a corresponding YouTube video if you search Best Damn Vegan Chili.

https://www.brandnewvegan.com/recipes/best-damn-vegan-chili-ever Vegan chili with cornbread. I made it with bulgur wheat not seitan. It was good.

My favorite smoothie is coconut water with strawberry, blueberry and banana. Another good one is coconut water with peeled lime and green melon. Also coconut water with a semi-sour apple, kale and spinach. My smoothies are usually between 150-350 for 24 oz

Also do some research about which types of protein your body actually uses, so that you get a powder with the most usable protein. Adding ingredients that have protein like nut butters would also add protein.

Greek yogurt with tastefully simple's onion onion

Yogurt. I don't like to get up before work and I'm usually rushing out the door in the mornings. I grab stuff I can eat in the car on my way to work. Premade protein drinks, Lala yogurt smoothies, baby carrots, granola bars

Eat a big salad and a small piece of lasagna

Do it!

Snack pack pudding bars... OMG

Even if you don't like mushroom you can still try recipes that call for finely chopped mushroom as the base, for example, Chef John's meatless meatballs, they are wholey made of mushrooms and yet taste nothing like mushroom

Try adding a barely yellow banana, barely ripe bananas can zap overly sweet, also you can try using almond milk, I noticed when I used almond milk in my fruit smoothies the milk was zapping the flavor of the fruit so I switched toto coconut water so I could actually taste my fruits. BTW I have no idea what amazing grass is…

So I'm think Central Grocery for my muffuletta, parkway for my po boy, Mr B's Bistro for my gumbo... Definitely want to take my dog to City Park. Does anyone know how well they enforce the permit law for the dog park there? Also we are going to Mystere Mansion to play their serial killer escape game. I really like Indian…

Love veggie burgers and lentil sloppy joes, lots of protein lots of flavor. Check out the blog Cookie and Kate

I only read the title so this may be irrelevant but my advice to someone who's plateaued is to just stick with it. From Jan 1 to Feb 15 I lost 20 lbs then I plateaued I was stuck at 20 pounds lost until just last Friday when I finally lost a pound, that's almost 2 full months without gains or losses. Just stick with it.

You can set up your food diary with time slots that way you have an eating schedule

Cool

Check out the blog Cookie and Kate, great recipes, don't like sweet potatoes but still enjoyed her sweet potato black bean burger recipe

Brown rice

I thought about the airfryer thing a while back so I watched some really long boring painfully slow YouTube videos and I was not impressed. I'd rather bake.
