I'm vegan and watched the documentary and found it interesting. One thing for sure is no one should push onto others what to eat for our health belongs to us to each decide. So why watch a documentary about vegan if your not vegan? Just a thought....

Thanks to you all who are supporting me and to those who are indifferent thats ok too. To each and everyone and there own, to do and follow food plan that best fits there needs. Lets be supportive to all!

Im doing really great! I feel great too! Pain is down, weight dropped 8.7 lbs so far. I feel full and so many plant based items to chose to make fantastic food. My food cravings went down to zero. Overall so far plant based is a winner! I dont use any processed vegan meals, i do everything fresh. I count all calories so it…

Glad your here!

Any vegetarians, or those who are open to it, please add me as a friend.

I think that was misunderstood. I need to correct that statement, I know calorie deficit works as you learn your BMR.

Never give up.....people do not know you personally in this forum! Keep trying and do your best. Just a suggestion.....try just eating potatoes for 1 month, they contain all 9 amino acids and protein. See how you feel. :)

Add me too! Dont forget your potatoes they are high in protein and 9 Essential Amino Acids.

Potatoes have protein as well as 9 Amino Acids.

Potatoes have all 9 Amino Acids. Eat plenty of these.

Please take a look at plant based diet, I have Fibromyalgia and doing plant based diet has help with the pain and Im losing weight too. I feel better. That means no meat, dairy or cheese, just whole foods, you will feel like a new person.

I need to lose 100lbs and im doing it with the plant diet.

You said you lost weight by clean eating?

Just get my protein from plants base foods. All plants has proteins including grains. This is how all the animals on our planet survive. If they don't get protein they die.

I understand everyone has there opinions as I do also. I have been to my doctor regarding my condition and she put me on meds for fibromyalgia. Which I have chronic pain everywhere. I don't want to be obese, I want to be healthy and fit. So as you can see I haven't given up so this is why I keep trying. I realise that fad…

Also at this time I'm eating 1700 calories a day. But as I lose weight my calorie intake will decrease.

I've been over weight for over 20 years, let's see if plant base diet helps me kick the fat off my body. I also exercise every other day at a gym.

Thank you all for your comments, most of you had excellent ideas that I can use. I've decided to do pure plant base diet. I count and log all calories here. I keep this log very accurately. I measure and count all calories. I don't believe Oreos are grown in the ground so I won't be eating any of those. Whole grains,…

I've tries Atkins; weight watchers; grapefruit; cabbage soup; low cal; low fat; one meal a day; mean green juicing; protein shake; Richard simmons ect... I usually lose weight....initially...then the craving start again. Usually hungry at night. I usually crave protein and dairy products. I make everything my self…

Watch Forks over Knifes on Netflix and see what you think about keto diet.

My body is inflamed and sick so I have very little metabolism.

Watch Forks over Knifes on Netflix. This may give you some insights.

Yams are excellent cold.

I make my own homemade protein bars. Very filling and healthy. There are recipes on Pinterest that are great to use. Brown rice from trader joes in frozen section is great too. Microwave 3 min and done. Add veggies.

Done that....my body won't lose when I eat low calories.
