Vegan Intermittent fasting Resistance bands Calorie tracking Down 20kg/44lb This is the first time I have ever posted progress photos on the internet. :) 10kg/22lb to go!

May I be honest? This direction of this thread makes me feel deflated. Sadly this is a common path any conversation involving vegetarianism or veganism takes. I recently posted a thread with a vegan question and the same thing happened (involving some of the very same characters). To the OP, I encourage you to give…

You get really, really good at keeping a straight face when someone who obviously doesn't give a dang about macros asks you "But where do you get your protein?" Seriously though, be prepared for that question. :p Vegetarianism is a great lifestyle! Give it a try. :) That Harvard Health link that the poster above has shared…

Hey guys, Rainbowbow (especially) and itsbasschick -- thank you both SO much for your advice. No nutrition expert, that's the kind of information I'd perhaps only uncover if I was lucky. It's clear the difference between a 'good' vegan protein and one which is so calorically dense it negates or perhaps outweighs it's value…

Around the 10kg change in the scales is when people started to comment for me...however I was also putting on muscle, so I guess the fat loss was possibly more than 10kg. :) For anyone waiting for that magic day, keep on keeping on. :) Yes, we're losing weight for ourselves, but we're social creatures and what other people…

That sounds like a really great idea! I haven't had any pumpkin seeds in my oatmeal, I'll look for some this weekend and try. :) Great tip. I don't grind up what I use right now, apart from the flax seed (apparently it's the only way our digestive systems can access the Omega?). It's super yummy with everything mixed in…

I second this!! Track your calories for sure. Don't be sucked into the 'But I didn't eat breakfast!' trap. :) Super easy to eat to maintenance and beyond in 6 hours.

If It Fits Your Macros (http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/) is a pretty cool website which will give you that kind of information. I think general sentiment is it's a little more accurate than MFP.

Yeah, I totally agree with the peeps on the calorie deficit thing. :) Obviously no point in going crazy with the calories during your window. :) Don't let it put you off though, it's a really great way to train yourself not to punctuate the entire day with food. :)

Hi there -- I hope I can help. I am no expert but I have been following IF for the last 6~8 weeks, perhaps even longer and I absolutely love it. :) You're right, by the way, with your fasting period. In case it helps, the general wisdom seems to be that you can have up to 50 calories during your fastng period -- so if you…
