Breakfast: oats and barley with soy milk. Blueberries. Lunch: salad. Sweet potato and mushrooms. Pinto beans and tomatoes. Dinner: vegetarian fajita and beer.

They feed different bacteria in your microbiome, they have different nutrition so they are different. Said that I wouldn't worry about math problems. Buy different vegetable and eat each day several of them. Mix them in a salad or cook them together. Don't focus on numbers, focus on diversity.

Best way to lose weight. Effective vs diabetes type 2. Effective in hunger management because it suppresses some hormones that create hunger. You will regain some weight eventually, but not that much. There 4 or 5 different types a GI will talk to you about it. Most doctors won't throw you on operation table, they will try…

I make my own nut cheese... Does that mean I insult myself? 😂😂😂😂 Sorry bad joke

I eat mushrooms everyday. Weird thing is they never come out slimy when I cook them. Wonder if it's the type of mushroom you use.

I wish I lived near you lol.

Do you eat only the heart?

Breakfast: 2 Brazil nuts and 3 bananas (I woke up late I couldn't cook) Lunch: salad (mustard greens, tomato, baby carrots, celery, broccoli, green apple, beets, 1 can garbanzo beans)). Potato skillet (sauteed in broth mushrooms, 1 bell pepper and 5 or 6 yellow potatoes). 1 mango Dinner: I wasn't hungry. 1 banana

No offenses to anyone... But I really don't find appealing majority of the pictures in this link. Maybe a different culture. The only craving I have is chocolate, I'm literally addicted. But dieting in the past taught me something... Never fight a craving because sooner or later you will give up and that day you'll eat a…

Get rid of all added fat if you add any (oil, butter, cooking spray), that will give you some more calories to spend. Switch in a meal beans for meat. It's still plenty of protein but it adds fibers. Try to eat beans in soup, water+fiber is a bulk that keeps you full. Snack on celery if you get hungry after meals,…

I was born and raised in Italy. Salad there is an everyday thing. Usually salad one meal and cooked vegetables the other meal. Now I eat salad everyday and sometimes twice a day. Think of a vegetable and it's there in my salad. I alternate ingredients everyday. I add also fruit, sometimes legumes, other times seeds and…

Are they Lima beans or fava beans perhaps? Favas are very common in Italy, but I can't find them here in the United States... But it might be because I live in a small town. They both look very similar, but they have a very different flavor.

Yes springerling62, B12 is important. It supports all our nervous system. I wish more doctors would check it like they did to you. Natural absorption after you turn 50-60 years old is reduced and a sublingual supplement gets straight into your system.

They are ground. Chia seeds like flax seeds and sesame seeds have a hard shell. If it's not broken you simply poop it out without getting any nutrients.

It is a dish made in my father little village in Italy. It is actually the only place where this dish is cooked, you can't find it anywhere else in Italy. It's made with eggs, bread crumbs and parmigiano.

I have an Italian espresso machine. If I well remember I found it at target. I bought my wife a kureg, but she uses it mostly for tea (you can put the tea bags where the pod goes, or buy a small adapter and use bulk tea). You can make coffee on kureg as watery or as strong as you want, so I'm sure you can find the right…

I didn't say he didn't eat lots of proteins and when he started he used to supplement it. Now he sells it so if course he recommends it, but he quit using them. There are reasons for everything. I supplement B12 because I don't eat meat. I supplement D3 because I work overnight. Bodybuilders supplement proteins because…

You're my hero now. You actually can eat asparagus raw? I tried to blend them once for and asparagus soup, I kept spitting fibers the whole day lmao

Try snacking on celery. Very low calories and full of fibers. It will fill you up immediately so you can reach supper. Or you can slow down a little bit the loss per week and it'll give you a few more calories allowance.

My wife who is keto gets at Marco's a crustless pizza. Basically a plastic container that works as crust and layered inside all the pizza components.

I've never compared myself to him. I just said if someone who builds muscle for a career doesn't need them, why I should need them that I don't build muscles? Here, I used Google for you...I think he even wrote 6 or 7 books about bodybuilding. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Cheeke

In fact I think the definition starvation is misleading. It's more an "addressing" your body to what type of fuel to use.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 you are funny

Work out. Physical exercise favors the birth of new brain cells. I am afraid of asking what is the first thing to go lol

Beans contain a chemical called lectins. While in small quantities recent studies found out that it is good for us, it even has anticancer properties, in high quantity is very toxic. In Japan was famous the raw bean diet which killed several people. Cooking beans for a long time eliminates lectins. Sprouting beans reduces…

I have my opinion like you have yours. You don't like it, ignore it. As per we all need fat, yes we do. Grains (that you use for the crust) contain a good deal of fat. Vegetables contains fat. And they all are a mixture of fat, including saturated fat. Protein from veggies is lower quality is a stupidity that was sent out…

Food. There is really no need of probiotics unless you have run a set of antibiotics. Each food feeds a different type of bacteria. You'll never find a probiotic pill that contains them all. Just eat a big variety of foods.

It's a tough question. Your taste buds change and you will like different things, but it'll take time. If you like corn, you probably like sweet veggies. Make a salad with corn, some carrots, a little bell pepper (it has strong flavor so just use a little) and pick a green leafy vegetables to add. On the side make a salad…

My menu are pretty much the same, just a switch off ingredients here and there. Breakfast: 3/4 cup dry of grains (I mix oats, farro, soghum, millet and others). I cook it with flax seeds, turmeric and fruit (I change everyday). Lunch: huge salad. I switch veggies everyday (mustard greens, beets, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage,…

Being whole food plant eater I'm not scared of carbs. I don't really weigh anything. When I am full I stop eating lol I know fibers won't let me overeat. I ate this way for years and I've always been at optimal weight. In the last couple of years I ate too much junk food and I went up to 230lbs. Now I'm back on track and…
