Great haul! It all looks absolutely delicious!

Congratulations!! I bet you feel awesome. Keep up the great work!

Woo hoo!!! Good job :smile:

You look amazing! I commend you on a job well done! I'm sure you're one healthy girl now... :smile:

I believe you should all watch the documentary Forks over Knives.

Sometimes a salt craving comes from a thyroid issue, like I have. I'm also vegan, but I find I don't crave salt anymore because I get enough of it from the foods I eat. I never have to add it, unlike before.

Hmm...

At work, almost go time :)

My question on the high fat aspect; doesn't fat clog your arteries? Regardless of how much you eat? Over time it's got to be doing some nasty things to your insides. I prefer fruits and vegetables, including high carb :smile:

I recommend watching the documentary Forks over Knives, in it they explain the benefits of HIGH carb, LOW fat eating. I've been doing this for a little over 5 weeks and I feel phenomenal! Before when I would work out, it was hard to get there energy-wise, and after it was over, I could literally fall on the floor. Now when…

Very nice to meet you lanalovestar! I'm currently just about in the same boat as you, as far as nutrition goes. I'm whole food plant based right now, and I've been doing this for a little over 5 weeks. Let me tell you, I have never felt better in my entire life! The energy I have is phenomenal! I'm very happy to see you on…

Lately it's been lots of power greens and tofu... But always mixing in tons of fruit and vegetables!

Steel cut oats with a splash of soy vanilla milk and either a banana sliced up or whatever berries/fruit I have on hand. Yum, yum!

That's such a great success! Amazing job!

Losing weight is a one-two combo. It's most definitely moving and exercising, but it's also what you eat. I have hypothyroidism and sciatica as well, but since January I have lost 45 pounds. The best part about this is YOU CAN DO IT! :smile:

I've sworn off of all animal products. No meat, dairy, eggs, cheese...

Hello! I've been whole food plant based "vegan" for going on two weeks. Not one bit of animal product for me, ever again! I'm very eager to learn new recipes as well! Please feel free to add me :smile:

I strongly suggest you watch the documentary Forks over Knives. I'm pre-diabetic as well, and since converting to eating whole food plant based meals, I feel incredible and it's only been 2 weeks! I'm eager for my next doctor visit with blood work so I can see how good my levels are, and I know they will be.

Hi RunningMatt77, I log on daily and I always encourage my friends. Feel free to add me as well! Good luck! :smiley:

They might be easier to scan into the database, but they are exponentially worse for you, health wise. I'll take my time preparing my food :smile:

Great! Thank you very much.

Thanks to you both :smile:

Ha! I'm only a week in, but I will tell you that I've already boosted my energy and no longer need coffee/energy drinks. I just posted something myself asking for recipes. If I get anything good, I'll share :smile:

Masago!! :)

Oh, I'm also looking for a juicer, if anyone can give me recommendations, thanks!

I'm in the same boat. It's definitely difficult, and after reading everyone's great responses, I'm more excited to try and break the vicious cycle! This is definitely a journey, and not always an easy one.
