The easiest is to focus your meals on raw fruits and vegetables that you like. Last summer I tried a fruit forward diet. There was minimal prep or clean-up. I felt energized and free to cook when I felt like it. The key is to have a lot of fruit and vegetables to hand. And then wondering what was for dinner went out the…

And now my foot hurts. Great, just great!

Log everything without judgement. Review the logs. Move to being plant ( fruit and vegetable forward), in other words, eat as many fresh vegetables and fresh fruits as possible. This means even if it is a doughnut, cookies, burgers, or candy this Friday, the first course should be fresh fruit and/or vegetables! Everything…

Woo hoo!

Yep. It is the only thing that annoys me on this front ( okay and the how do you get protein rubbish, for that I usually look at myself, look at them and then ask do I look remotely deficient). And then I feel like a PITA when I have to ask what kind of stock did you use, or did you show the dish fish sauce or…

Last summer I met someone who is primarily 811 (80/10/10, low-fat raw vegan) but she drinks alcohol and eats animals. I don't ever eat animals but I developed my own way of saying what she explained to me. I try to focus on frutis and vegetables first. Our diet is fruit and vegetable forward. Ultimately, it doesn't mean…

Huzzah! Someone noticed the weight loss today! I tried to be cool about it. They said my blazer was too big! ????????????????????????(happy dance, cha-cha!)

Shhhhhhhh, I thought you could keep a secret! :laugh: :devil:

Eat more fruits and vegetables, especially fresh/raw. I don't think this is a secret but it actually works!

I love a guy who loves his wife! You rock! And she rocks for not quitting during this battle! What an awesome team.

I sent you a request.

Bump. I had a great day last week. And when I eat cooked foods now, it just isn't as satisfying. Anyone here want to share how they started. What they wished they knew before they started, etc.? Thanks,

The big salad! And it still beat me. Comes in just at 232 calories ( if you can finish it! :devil: ) 12 oz romaine 4 oz baby spinach 8 oz cucumber 4 oz tomato Salad dressing 8 oz red bell pepper & 5.5 oz of peach Blend and pour over the salad bowl contents I couldn't finish it. I did get about 90% down. In the future, I…

Hero!

I am Bahái. We have a sunrise-to sunset fast for 19 days. I think you have a couple of options for Tisha B'av as I understand it ( via Wiki). 1) Take in roughly 3600 calories today. I understand it is an entire 24 hour fast, sunset today, until sunset tomorrow. 2) In general, you can ward off hunger by choosing more fresh…

I know folks don't like to hear this, but have you considered eating more vegetables and fruits? I find it hard to be hungry after eating 10 oz of roasted broccoli. Don't get me wrong, I understand. But whenever I switch my food choices to a 50% increase in fruit and vegetable consumption, I am not hungry. In fact, I find…

I have logged most days this year. I have a little over a 60 day streak. I also started at 1200 calories, but I noticed a distinct zig-zag when I ate way over the 1200 and a bit a day. Then I had a light bulb and just looked at MFP's maintenance calories for me. Lo' & behold it was over 1800 calories/day. Given that I…

Extraordinary!

Check out of the library Yottam Ottolenghi's Plenty. This book is written by an omnivore who loves vegetables. Start with p. 14. Do not leave out a single ingredient or step. And yeah, I don't care if you are indifferent to carrots, I was, this will change your mind. And for all omnivores that enjoy cooking, get this book.…
