Thanks! I dont really use much apart from the occasional xylitol. I used to have to put some sweetener in my oatmeal but found that it does not need any sweeteners when I add a banana and blueberries! I try to eat a fruit whenever I crave sweets but it doesnt always work :( maybe need more time eliminating it. I think it's…

Brilliant! Yes this is what i'm trying to achieve - listen to my body and follow it! This was an example of a really good day, it's not always like this and can vary ;) It also wasn't like this from the beginning, I did veganuary a year ago as an addicted to cheese vegetarian so you can imagine I was eating a lot of…

I am not sure exactly, I've just read some opinions that high protein diets can be harmful in long term, so I've decided that I will just leave it completely since I struggle to even reach the targets!

Like I said, i used to try and eat more protein but it was hard and i felt hungry then. I read it's hard to do when you're vegan and it's safer to eat less protein and more carbs. I changed it to high carb and low fat and I feel good and not starving, but despite feeling full after dinner I still want chocolate and peanut…

Thanks! Is it the high starch diet? I was looking into it! Maybe will give it a go! I'm a tall girl and feel big now! Just want to lose 5kg, or at least stop gaining (which I've noticed I am constantly) Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your advice :)

Brilliant! Thanks for making me feel motivated again :) I'm downloading the mfp app back ;)

Exactly this! Thanks guys :)

Thank you, I will stay strong and keep logging!

Hey, no it's okay I don't take it as an attack, I posted here to get opinions! :) what restrictions do you mean? If ditching animal produce, it isn't really restricting in this sense for me, I stopped for ethical and health reasons and find animal products repulsive now! And yeah, I mean counting calories for a few weeks…

This might sound stupid, but I never know, should I weight the banana with skin or peeled? :#

Thank you, I tried this and I drank up to 3 protein shakes daily, ate a lot of tofu, it did not help and I was hungry. I swapped my morning protein shake for a 50g oats cooked in water and they keep me full until lunch. It's impossible for vegans to eat this much protein, but I do eat enough protein (we need 0.8-1g protein…

Thanks everyone for your replies! To clarify - when I counted calories, I ate between 1200-1500 and up to 1800 kcal on a bad day. I did not count ovef Christmas but I definitely don't go over 2k even when I don't count. I don't think it's really that much kcal, and it should create some deficit after a few months. I burn…
