  • Wow! I am so excited to see so many like-minded eaters here! Labels are complicated... I eat a mostly vegetable diet. No dairy or meat. I've been following Dr. Furhman's Eat to Live plan since May 23. I always thought that I would miss cheese, but I'm not. The occasional egg and a nice piece of Lake Superior Whitefish are…

  • I've been eating vegetarian for almost a year. Unfortunately I got in the habit of too much cheese, eggs, and processed vegan foods. I am currently following the Eat To Live plan which is vegan. So far, so good. I'm losing weight again and feel great!

  • Here's an article from Suite101 that I have used to help with substitutions. Keep in mind that the final product will not be exactly the same, but still tasty. http://www.suite101.com/content/lowfat-and-fatfree-baking-substitutes-a95153 But as a rule, I usually use unsweetened applesauce equal to the amount of oil when…

  • I have been eating a pretty much meat free diet for years and have recently started Joel Furhman's Eat to Live eating plan which is vegan. I have found four sources, early in my meat free life, which are my go-to places for recipes and ideas: 1) Any of Isa Chandra Moskowitz's cookbooks - right now I'm using a lot of…

  • alaskancoppertop, You sound like your on the right track and I agree with the previous comment about portion control. You can cook the meals and then calculate what you should have. When my husband needs his beefy meals, I bring my digital scale right to the table and weigh my portions. I am also feeding a 6"5'…

  • Seriously, there are a lot of great tofu recipes on the web. I'm not a vegetarian, but eat that way most of the time. Three sites that have great instructions for tofu and recipes are Vegweb.com, Justbento.com, and its sister site Justhungry.com. If you are interested in using more tofu in your diet start with the primer…

  • Staying hydrated was always a problem. Maybe that is why so many teachers end up with UTI. The only way I could get in even six glasses of water a day was to have a couple in the morning, beginning before work and make sure I used the restroom before my first class, at the beginning and end of my planning period, and after…

  • This is a great idea. I spent ten years as a HS English teacher before trading that in to become a part-time adjunct professor. I was sick most of my last three years due to sick-building syndrome. I packed on the weight. This is my second year at the college level and I am finally getting around to some serious…

  • Nery09, I'm rather new here myself, so welcome. I have been logging my food for a month now at another site before switching to MFP. I have good days and bad days... like Friday when we ate Chinese take-out. One small plateful almost equaled my entire day's total and that was dinner. I know that there will be other days…

  • I got a WiiFit for Christmas. Unfortunatly, the WiiFit board has a 330 pound weight limit. I have been working hard to get to that point so I can use my board. My husband has been using the yoga and strength exercises for a few weeks and has lost 20 pounds. Of course, he is also dieting but the Wii is helping. I'm hoping…
