  • For us, smoothies are a great way to get in so many nutrients (easy to make and if you're new to food, won't turn you off of *real* food). lol Our smoothies are a couple handfuls of spinach, a stem or two of kale, about a cup of pulp/vit D/vit C OJ, a cup of soy milk, a banana, about a cup or cup and a half of frozen…

  • As others have said, ride it out, Dee! It could be your body going into a natural detox, it could be coincidental illness. One week may feel like a long time when you're miserable, but you know when you have a regular cold that it can last weeks. Like with everything, give yourself time. Be kind to yourself. I know after a…

  • I had this same problem a while back. I was working out like a crazy woman and I saw no results. My trainer kept saying it was my nutrition. In the back of my head I wanted to punch her because I was doing, what I thought, was a good job. When I started tracking on MFP, I saw that it wasn't! Calories aren't the only things…

  • My opinion: If you're under your goal calories but over 1,200 cal for the day AND not hungry, don't worry about eating just to fill in a blank. If you're under your goal calories and under 1,200 cal, hungry or not, you should have a snack...great suggestions here with the healthy nuts. :) Fruit, dried fruit would be…

  • Beans, whole grains (like quinoa, oatmeal), any veggies especially leafy greens (lettuces/choys/broccoli), many fruits (apples/bananas) some people mentioned flax seed, chia seeds (salba). I definitely notice the taste of flax seeds in things like oatmeal. I grind them myself and add them 1 TBSP at a time to my smoothies…

  • Are you looking for more protein sources (since you said you don't want to go back to meat)? You said you use lentils, good. Other beans (any legumes for that matter) and good sources. I think Seitan is soy free--it's a wheat "meat". Meat analogues that use beans like falafel (chickpeas) I think are soy-free. Grains have…

  • Hi sweet fatruthy, What has helped me along on my journey is to be confident that my eating right and exercise will keep me healthy FIRST and the weight loss will be a byproduct of that. I focus on loving myself--not necessarily accepting my obese body and loving that--but accepting that I am where I am, it's not going to…
