Smoothies! Kale and mango rock! Kale, banana and apple is good. Kale banana and pineapple is awesome too. Make sure you have a good blender though.

Animal based protein is much more dangerous than plant based protein. This is from Dr. Colin Campbell. I'm currently working on following 80-10-10. So far I've gone down a couple sizes but I'm not weighing myself for three months. I have so much energy I want to exercise and wake up feeling better than I've ever felt. You…

Check out Freelee and Durian rider on you tube.

There is a great youtube video by Durian rider about emotional eating. Check it out.

I've been veggie for more than 3 years and really committed to being vegan recently. Also trying to add lots of raw food but focussed on low fat and high carb. You might want to check out www.lowfatveganchef.com she's got some great recipes. And I've been watching youtube videos by Freelee the banana girl and Durian rider.

Yummy! I also like adding a spoonful of chia seeds to a cup if tea.

Gotta try this!!

I love www.lowfatveganchef.com

bump! love chia

Bun Chay (Vietnamese Noodle Salad) I found the recipe on www.lowfatveganchef.com It was sooooooo yummy!!! and my whole family liked it!

Another favorite is ice cream. Per person add 1frozen banana, 1 teaspoon of cocoa and 1 teaspoon of peanut butter.

I love my vitamix! I like green smoothies, such as kale with mango, or parsley banana and green apple, sometimes I have carrot with Apple or mango. These blenders can turn anything into a smoothie!

proteins needs are based on your structure (weight), not your activity, with the exception of those few athletes engaged in serious endurance training, in which case it may go up slightly to 0.8 for 1 hour of intense training or 1.0 for even more lengthy training.

based on nutritional training from Human Kinetics and CanFit Pro, what's your source?

great ideas!!

beans and lentils are excellent whole grains have protein too tofu, and other soy products are high in protein if you can't seem to get enough from food, which is rare because as someone else mentioned you only need 0.6 grams per kg of body weight, there are some great vegetarian protein powders like SunWarrior and Vega

I know when I changed from processed, high calorie junk to health, homemade and fresh foods I felt full before getting near my calorie goal too. I'd say don't worry too much because you will adapt to it, but whole grains and legumes are now the basis for my meals.

I've been doing some serious research lately as my father was diagnosed with heart disease and required a stent. According to Dr. Esselstyn it is very important to keep all fats very low (about 10% of total calories) and eliminating animal products. there are alot of other doctors supporting this advice too.

awesome! congratulations and thanks for sharing

a handful of greens, a banana, mango and/or apple, water

made them today, they are amazing!

haha! I think those kind of reminders do help us in the long run!

dried beans and lentils are excellent sources of protein, minerals, fiber, really superb compared to meat and super cheap, you can easily get enought for a week for around $2 canned beans are slightly more, still much cheaper than meat, and very convenient

SunWarrior - it's raw, vegan, easy to digest, slight vanilla flavouring,

I've been doing some research for my dad who has heart disease and diabetes, a great site I found is www.lowfatveganchef.com

at least twice as much water as a normal day antioxidant rich foods would be good too, like greens, fruit, etc.

random comments: definitely don't stress about the fruit, unless you are diabetic you can reduce salt and cholesteral by eating fresh plant foods you prepare yourself there is zero cholesterol in plant foods try to focus on the big picture mostly, and whenever you aren't too overwhelmed you can add more refining, it is…

yup! last week I made a pineapple stir fry - fry some onion, garlic and ginger with a bit of water (you don't need oil) - add red and/or green pepper chunks, zucchini chunks, and mushrooms - when they are almost done, add bok choy (or kale, spinach, or other greens) - last add one pineapple chopped serve with rice I'm…
