As to why I’m counting calories it’s because I’m tracking macros and nutrients! As far as picking a lifestyle you can live with I agree. But you never know till you try. I became vegan and before that vegetarian in my 20s I’m now 65 and thriving on this lifestyle. I did this for ethical reasons, but was fascinated by how…

I’m glad you asked. Thank you. Give a plant base diet a chance. Cut out the meat and dairy, eggs, and also processed oils. Eat a variety of grains beans vegetables fruits nut and seeds. Get in enough calories to meet your macros. I suggest getting your fats from avacado, and small amounts of nuts and seeds, not processed…

Snowflake 954 thanks for the way you worded your response. That is how we should debate. Instead of being told you are wrong on every level.

Because you chose to believe in counting calories to achieve weight loss, you’ll be stuck using willpower the rest of your life. You’ll always be hungry.

I notice that the same members defending the calorie is a calorie equation on all these threads. Are you guys working for MFP to keep everyone in line to defend this diet plan. So everyone that has their desired weight is following calories in calories out. I’m sure the op can sustain a healthy lifestyle eating Frits and…

I’m new to MFP and have also noticed that you are attacked when you ever bring up a different point of view . Proves that people only want to hear what their doing is the right and only way.

Also my diary is open, and I say diets don’t work because how do you explain why we have a obesity problem in our country now that so many more people are working out and “dieting “ then let’s say 30 years ago. So dieting to loose weight by cutting calories then going back to how you ate previously is not working.

Diets in the sense of trying to loose weight is different then diets as to how and how much you eat. I can’t separate the fact that I have to get more calories in to achieve how many grams of protein I need to get in to stay healthy according to research! So I need to get a certain amount of calories in to get to 100 grams…

I learned that I have more energy and feel better now that I adjusted my macros to more carbs and less fat and protein. Everyone is different, you can’t read this in a book, you have to try till you get it right for you, not what someone else works for them. Calories can stay the sane but macros can be adjusted.

Thanks

I had 456 grams of carbs today , and what does op mean

Men you can thank me later!

Hey for all the women out their, I read that 30 minutes of sex burns 500 calories!

I’m keeping track of my macros, and calcium and iron levels.

Your so funny

Oops I see now that I have to make it!!

Where can I buy that pimiento cashew cheese? Sounds good, I’m also vegan and looking for non dairy cheeses

The poster wrote. Advice? This is my advice.. hopes she gives it a try!

Go on you tube and watch, forks over knives, the starch solution, what the health, the China study. That’s my advice.only advice, I’m not a nutritionist, or an expert on weight loss. Just works for me, that’s all.

I’ve been a vegan now for 10 years. Before that I was a vegetarian for 30 years! I used to suffer from a bad back bad knees and planters fashiidas. Now that’s all changed. I feel better now at 65 then I did at 40. I recommend this way of eating for everyone. I keep an open diary and feel free to friend me. My wife is also…

I think I try to eat when I’m not hungry because I constantly worry about not getting enough of essentials, like protein or enough fats so I actually eat when I’m not really that hungry I believe I lost sone appetite as I got older. I’m waiting for the weather to get warmer so I can get outside and walk to work up more of…

I have an open diary, but it’s very boring!

Start with not eating within one hour of going to bed, then work your way up to three hours. You’ll find that you’ll fall asleep faster. When you get up try not to eat for an hour after you get up then build it up to 3 hours! This cuts your eating window. Try to go for a walk in the morning before you eat and this helps to…

Thanks for the tip! Everyone has been so helpful

Everything everyone told you is true, you need to eat more. I’m vegan and know that you need to eat that avacado, if you don’t get enough good fats in your diet, your going to feel lousy!!

Lol your right about the exclaims. Bad habit. And right , you do learn a lot on MFP forums. And boy is this hard not using exclamations

I think I’ll add sone protein shakes to my diet to get the protein up!! Good idea!! I don’t know why I’m not thinking of these things!! Must be getting old!!

If you can’t eat less then add more exercise in!! Not so much strenuous stuff but maybe more walking!!

Thanks for the input!! I don’t know why I forgot about the dried fruit!! I used to eat dates!!! That’s what’s missing!! Thanks again
