adding creatine monohydrate to my stack, some weight gain is expected from increased water in the muscle I'll dose 2.5 grams/day instead of 5 so this tub should last me a while

do you chop the walnuts with a knife one by one or throw them in a food processor? sorry I'm a pretty basic cook :D

holy crap that dessert looks insanely delicious :o

I agree that it depends on the person, there's a range with what you can get way with and don't gain weight, in one extreme of the spectrum are the people that never gain weight, they stay skinny eating nothing but junk food, their satiety mechanisms are fined tuned enough that they don't over eat, the thing is that's not…

the solution is eat the appropriate diet for the human animal, which is whole natural foods with minimum processing, so you dont have to live for the rest of your life like you are a prisoner in a metabolic ward, weighting in every day and counting calories like a maniac, thats not sustainable haha the only animals in the…

@wsandy8512 MFP has around 170 mill downloads, a few dozen success stories is a drop in very very big bucket haha, yeah few privileged folks will keep the weight off in any diet, now what good is that when the majority is failing, what good would OMAD be if it has the same success of any run of the mill crash diet?

that's how addiction works, you need to tough it out and give it a few weeks for your taste buds to down regulate the more time away from the problem foods the more hey will fade in your memory, now if you go back and indulge well you are still on the hook, matter of time before you backslide and gain the weight

9 months is nothing in the grand scheme of thing, don't get me wrong you have done a terrific job so far, I hope you can keep the weight off for good :)

see this the issue here, your personal success doesn't mean most will be able to replicate it, conscientious/non agreeable personality types, like you seem to have, can push through and make it work through thin and thick but not everyone has that psychological make up there's also another thing in your particular case,…

I disagree, in theory that would work , the problem is you are not factoring in the addictive nature of the junk you are gonna eat in the "incredible let go days" very few people are gonna be able to pull it off LONG TERM, for most people if they keep around the same food triggers that got them fat in the first place…

@blambo61 agreed, people on plant based diets can run into nutritional deficiencies, is not ONLY the quality of what you eat but what you absorbe also there are some people that lack enzymes to convert certain precursors into substances needed for the body, now those are far and few in between for most people if you eat…

@blambo61 don't worry I don't easily get offended you can pretty much post or say whatever you want is cool with me, regarding that meme or picture. I personally don't think that a raw vegan diet is optimal for us humans you probably need some cooked foods in there, lots of raw vegans look aged, they have to eat pounds…

@minigrrl many thanks for the app tip <3 I installed libra and got in my data, looks like Aug 30 is game ova :D

thanks, I'll check out Libra then, what caught my attention was the date you reach your goal weight, that's neat, but it seems a daily input is necesary

don't post in my thread ever again, you swimmer bring me bad luck, I just tried to get a swimming workout in but there were so many "floaters" in the damn pool that I though I was in a George Romero movie :D

@wsandy8512 yes I have read your log, and you mention your daughter is vegetarian and you are familiar with the pant based doctors, you have a sweet character too encouraging all people :) I do follow a restrictive plant based program from The TrueNorth Health, no flours, no salt ,oil or sugar. I'm not 100% compliant…

agreed, consistency and building on your GOOD habits so they can do the heavy lifting for you

thanks jvcinv, according to the vegan propaganda from the plant based group I follow a male should be losing 3 lbs/week and a female 2 lbs /week in my diet so under 3 lbs/week should be sub par numbers, the last few weeks I had been hovering around 2 lbs weekly loss, tbh I try to keep my mind grounded and don't think about…

@minigrrll what site/software are you using? I love how it projects into the future based on your current data is there anyway to make it work with weekly entries instead of daily? I would lose my mind weighting in everyday haha

week 9 completed tonight's meal brown rice baby potatoes split peas tofu guac salsa walnuts berries smoothie total cals: 2054 I had to subtract 5 oz of potatoes from the ones pictured since I just couldn't finish them all, tomorrow morning weight in time

uh oh, looks like the wheels are coming off the cart, you are closing in to the brink of the abyss , it only takes a little push and down the rabbit hole you go :D

that schedule looks a little scattered but if you can pull it off I don't see anything wrong with it I personally like a consistent OMAD time at the end of the day,this pattern is consistent with our hunter gatherers ancestors when they would have the largest calorie load of a cooked meal at the end of the day, it takes…

@minigrrll now that you mention Dahl, I discovered a tiny middle eastern/indian shop a few blocks from my place and my mind was blown at how many exotic grains and legumes the have, the variety of spices , I was like a kid in a candy store, asking the dude "whats this, whats that, how do you prepare this? :D picked up some…

you are an inspiration and I don't say those words often, keep pushing, no retreat, no surrender

just wanted to share a new documentary that just came out, it can be watched on Netflix, the title is What the Health great info by all main plant based doctors, True North, PCRM, Greger,Esselstyn the whole gang chipping in, compelling piece of vegan propaganda haha, check it out if you have Netflix…

@newmeadow You could try it for a limited time as an "experiment" do 30 days and see how you feel ;) Just remember fill your plate with starchy comfort foods, brown rice, potatoes, soup beans, lentils etc those are super healthy and very filling foods, the mastering of raw greens and salads is for when you are a little…

the thing with greens is they are the lowest calorie density food, they run at around 100 cals/lb so it's natural our palate doesn't find them very "interesting" 2 tricks I use to make greens more "interesting" in a healthy way 1. toss them up in a food processor and chop them a bit into smaller pieces, just a couple…

@newmwadow you can pour some olive oil in your salad, is not the end of the world, it doesn't have to be all or nothing thing, the more whole plant foods in your diet the better there are also some no oil dressings you can try, I picked up one at the store is mango based, but there are recipes online you could try, good…
