Love fried pickles bump for later

Get a workout in, that will give you more calories. Look the restaurant menu up online and see if they have nutritional info posted. Im on a whole food plant based diet and I just ask the server if they can tailor a meal for me. Most places will subsitute items for special diets.

I looked it up a while ago because I was concerned that I wasnt getting enough and it said for me 5'6" 130-135 lbs I should have around 30 grams per day. Sometimes Im over and sometimes Im under but I usually stay right around that without putting any effort in it. I agree some people are protein crazy, and the same people…

Track nutrition, Im new to a whole food plant based diet and I want to make sure Im eating properly.

Well said! Let me know if you hear a response.

Others will have their opinions but as for myself I dont worry about sugar as long as it comes from natural whole foods. Im sure others will disagree.

Wanted to add bypass surgery, blood pressure meds, dr appts those are expensive

Most people dont think twice about buying a car that has lots of options or a house that has more square footage or even a cute outfit to wear when they go out. I would rather cut those things back and be healthy.

You can also store the seed with it to keep it from turning brown, I dont use lemon juice.

Next time you go out for supper order for him and dont ask him what he wants. Then tell him you thought thats what he wanted.

Please, buy a new cat pan for the cake, please.

You are doing great. You look healthier. Congrats

I like how the coconut version sounds, I will have to try. Thanks

Agree

I agree calories that arent burnt will be stored as fat. I was just trying to say that carbs arent bad, you dont have to limit them if you are eating the right ones. Im on a whole food plant based diet and I find it practically impossible to eat enough to gain weight. I know its possible to eat enough fruit, beans, whole…

I believe if you ate that much fruit in one setting your body would naturally dispose of it very quickly. That said I dont think you could eat like that enough to gain fat. But feel free to prove me wrong.

Oatmeal with blueberries, flax, and almond milk. Yummy

True calorie surplus will make you fat however try to eat a whole food plant based diet and gain fat. And you could be more polite.

There is a difference in how your body processes carbs depending on what kind they are. You should probably research them. Bananas arent going to make you fat but croissants will. I pretty much only eat carbs and I dont eat meat or dairy. Basic rule of thumb if you can grow it, it wasnt refined, and you eat it without…

Bump

Whole grains are filling. I cant see you food diary but you can eat alot of nutrient dense food and feel full.

I feel for you, I have been there. Hot towels wrapped around your legs helps. Make sure you are staying hydrated. Remember it only stays sore for a few days. Pain is weakness leaving your body.

Thanks for the info, I have heard I needed to supplement but now I understand how important it is.

My husbands Dr told him to put lemon juice in his water, apparently it helps to keep kidney stones from forming. He hasnt had one since.

Add blueberries strawberries, and walnuts, very tasty.

I appreciate the advise from both sides. I definately need to educate myself on healthy eating before cutting out all nonplant itemd. I did want to emphasize that Im thinking about a plant based whole food diet not vegan although they are imilar. Thank you for the advise.

I think I will try a warm toaster strudel with ice cream on top all melty. Yum

You joined in Feb? Six pounds is great! It takes awhile to notice but be patient and keep it up. You are on a good roll.

Wish I could give you a better show but I watch Sesame Street, it keeps my toddler happy so I can get my workout in.

Great job! I think Ill check into it, sounds like fun.
