HI there! Sorry your thread got hijacked. To your original post, there is an amazing cook book by Anupy Singla which features 140 vegan and healthy indian dishes that are also simple to make. While this is a vegan cookbook, proper substitutions can make the dishes vegetarian if that's your preference. I'd recommend looking…

Hi Jenny! The human body is an amazing piece of work. Without thinking your body will take a breath, fight an infection, and digest your food all at one time! Our bodies are also designed to adapt to our environment and our lifestyle. Think of a mechanic's hands compared to an office secretary. The mechanic's hands will be…

No problem, I hope that you enjoy them!

Hi there Flat Waterian! Tea is sort of like wine, you'll have to experiment to find out what you love! If you're looking for a clean tea (one made without GMO's, pesticides, and artificial flavorings) you may want to check out the nationally sold and adapted brand, Numi. You should be able to find Numi Teas at most grocery…

Hi kgeyser, to keep this thread fair to the OP, this will be my last post regarding this "debate". I do not have the time nor interest to answer your questions directly. If you'd like to learn more about toxins and the importance of detoxing your body I would recommend checking out the Detox Summit (which I have no…

Hi Mr Knight, Unfortunately there are a lot of gimmicky detoxes on the market that are nothing more than VLCD. However, there are proper detoxes that can be found on credible wellness sites that offer a proper detox which does not "starve" the body. A proper detox program will look at all aspects of your life and not just…

Great, removed that line since you felt it was an ad. I felt it was part of my story. Cheers and have a great weekend!

Great questions! The American Heart Associations recommends women do not exceed 25g of sugar per day. The OP on a 7 day average is consuming 79.4g per day, which is over 3 times the recommended daily amount. Excess sugar turns to fat which can turn into excess fat. Simple Google search can provide you with all the validity…

Hi Tiffany! Congratulations on taking your training more seriously and I am sure you'll end up looking like Paige Hathaway in no time! As for your question, I think the key there is what you just said, you'll have to find out what's right for you. However here is my 10,000 foot overview on answering your questions;…

Hi there! It's true, exercises alone will not help you lose weight. It takes a blend of healthy eating, exercise, and mindset. During my own personally journey, I never stepped a foot in a gym to aid in losing weight. Instead I eat really clean, choice unprocessed foods, starting cooking again, and increased my daily…

Hi sydney and hello from Cary, NC! Couple things to consider, Based on your diary I would recommend watching your sugars as there are several days where your sugar intake is really high. Secondly, be sure to eat your 1200 calories a day to avoid your body going into starvation mode. If you are still on a plateau here are…

When I was overweight I hated breakfast. I never ate it and I argued against it, "why should I eat more when I am trying to loose weight". Today, I look forward to my breakfast and feel lost without it. In fact, I am writing this while enjoying my breakfast. A good wholesome breakfast allows me to spread my calories…

Hi Leanne, Bike ride, play pool at a pool hall, arcade, watch a movie at a movie theater, comedy clubs, join Meetup groups, Barnes and Nobles, & geo-cache are some items that come to mind. I am personally a fan of Meetup groups as you can find things to do based on your interest while meeting new people. Hope this helps.

Hi Chelle, I noticed an increase in energy when I lost around 10 lbs. For clothing I believe it was around the 15 lb mark. What's awesome is when you go down the journey, you will sometimes notice (and feel) a loss in weight even though the scale says otherwise. At first you might feel like your delusional, but when you…

Hi Kelly! Welcome to MFP. It's a great community and a great way to keep you on track to your goals (or mini-goals :smile: ). You will get out of MFP what you put into it; meaning you need to be honest with yourself, your documentation, and your follow through on keeping true to the goal numbers you set. However, it sounds…

Great results! You both look awesome!

Thanks for sharing!

Congrats on your success!

Jenn, When I first started my weight loss journey I didn't have the support of my friends, girlfriend, or even my parents for that matter - so I know how you feel. It's difficult to work hard at something each day with a lack of support and it's not their fault. It's nice to know that you have people in your life that will…

Hi EcoGurl! Sorry for the lack of response. Seems that the group died off. Would like to bring it back!
-
Little delayed response I know :smile: but we should become a group again. Choosing organic is an important decision!
-
Mine was simple, "it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change". I took that to heart, changed my lifestyle and lost half the man I used to be. For that, no other advice could ever mean more to me. Cheers!
-
Everyone's stories are truly inspirational. I am glad to hear so many positive life changing stories by just switching to organic! Thank you to all those who took the time to share.

Food Inc is a fantastic documentary covering the unknown food crisis of our world. It's a shame that these type of films are not more publicly available or shown on TV as a regular broadcast. Education and knowledge is the key to starting any change, but without easy access to the material, change is almost impossible.…

Hi Guru, welcome to our group! Thanks for sharing your reasons with us on why you chose organic. "It feels amazing when ONE person (you) are the core reason for others making a positive shift in their lives. " - it's so true, you are right on about this! Please make yourself at home, y.
