I eat between 40-70 a day depending on what I eat. That really should be the range people are aiming for a flawless colon if ya know what I mean :bigsmile: .... The important thing is when you have that much fiber you really should strive for at least 3 liters of water a day, which isn't hard once you get use to it. Good…

2 halves of a large mangos at once...... Yum :bigsmile:

True, healthy fats from whole sources like avocados and nuts. Not super concentrated oil and earth balance butter spread is certainly not healthy. Just don't get ya panties in a bunch! I said "oils" not "fats" :laugh:

Chill and friendly.

Tried it and it is pretty darn good but not really something I would keep in the house because all it is, is oil. Not something healthy at all because oil really shouldn't be in ones diet anyway.... grrr :grumble:

Friendly :smile:

I go by the amount of water for your body weight and then some! (body weight x 1/2 = That number / 8 = Number of 8 oz glasses per day)

No. Absolutely no. I say carb the frack up and eat all the fruit you want. The more the merrier :drinker:

5. Love your gear and you're looking cool :laugh:

I was simply expressing my feelings about those diets and that word best described my own personally expierence with those two different diets. It wasn't intended towards anyone else or anyone who chooses to go on that diet. I was directing it towards the diet itself as I don't have many fond feelings towards it, haha! I…

^^ This. Luckily for myself, I have found a sustainable lifestyle that I will be able to do till the day I die and I find that a relief. I've tried crap like "Paleo" and "Atkins" type of things but realized a theme of amongst several people I interacted with of yo-yoing, and not being sustainable in the long term. The main…

Coconut, Avocado, Cliff Bars ($1 a piece), Tahini, and nut butters?

This! Do not sweat it. I eat up to 8 bananas in a smoothie and carb up to my content. That is what your body thrives off of and is what will keep you satisfied :flowerforyou:

That's right guys! Let us all proclaim hotness because we are all attractive in our ways. Who cares about the stereotypes when it is sometimes fun to break them :wink: :bigsmile:

All the more reason to eat whole plant based foods! So you know what is actually in them and what the nutrition is :laugh:

Snazzy and friendly :laugh:

Love the top but would go for a fuller bottom (maybe boy shorts or adorable waist high bottoms) as they will really help show off your shape because you are looking great! Plus, you will most likely be more comfortable and less likely to lose you bottoms when in the ocean :laugh:

Step 5: Help people learn to read correctly and not assume things that weren't said. Plus, she is looking for help/advice so if you don't have anything constructive to say, what are you doing in this thread? Oh, and OP try to pick up the cook book from "Forks over Knives" as it has lots of super yummy recipes that even my…

Better for digestion, more readily absorbed calcium, isn't acidic and also much lower in calories (even skimmed I believe).

Step 2: Don't listen to people who are trying to be condescending about your health.

To be on the safe side I would go to your doctor and get a blood test if you feel it is really abnormal. Just start a dialog with your doctor to perhaps prevent a bigger nutritional issue. But anemia certainly can cause some level of bruising. I perhaps would bring up the benefits of a plant based life style? I have had…

I have been vegan for over a year and feel better/stronger than ever. If you eat well, you will feel well.

Thanks everyone! I wish everyone could boost each other up instead of breaking each other down. Espcially on this site, where the main point is support.

Thanks guys! I have greatly noticed people tend to think we eat only things like grass....

I did go through a time (currently still recovering) from a time of binge eating/bulimia. I was able to really help myself from going on a hclf vegan lifestyle, and after a month I suddenly have no cravings to binge. Nothing. I put it down to well balanced nutrition and abundent eating. It has really helped me so if you…

Took a peek at your diary and you seem to be under carbed to me and what I mean by that is that you don't seem to be eating enough fruit/veg/whole carbs. Remember, your brain largely runs on glucose so if you aren't getting enough, espcially from the right sources, your brain will seek out more. It is all about balance. I…

I never saw his eyes!

Bananas! Smash them in :tongue:

Me! I think it is wonderful that you are considering becoming a vegan. My biggest advice is do not under eat when it comes to fruit and veg or else the cravings will come. When I stopped focusing on sugar and carb intake, everything got better and much, much easier. Feel free to friend me if you wish! Also, one last piece…
