I take bupropion for depression. 450 XL, though. It took about 7 weeks to notice significant weight loss after I started taking it. My boyfriend was the first to notice. I lost about 4lbs. Im not a large person. Keep in mind I had a slow progression of 150 for a month to 300 a month to 450 xl during that time. I feel like…

Does anyone know the medical term for protein deficency? It's called kwashiorkor. Do you hear of anyone diagnosed with this disease? No? That's because you need to 1. Starve yourself or 2. Eat nothing but jello (which isn't vegan anyways) to be protein deficent.

Ang. Protein has got to be one of the most overrated nutrients there is. Plant foods have all 20 amino acids our body needs. And our body is so efficent at storing protein and breaking that down into amino acids that we have an extra 20-50g of it stored in our body at any given time. Nutritionfacts.org. please visit this…

Im glad this group is here. There are so many ridiculous group on mfp promoting all meat diets, ketogenic diets, all protein diets.... It's absolutely insane.

Wow. You are an awful human being if you go from "vegan", knowing every ounce of cruelty, torture and inhumanity in animal agriculture, to eating nothing but animals. Earthlings. Watch it. Nutritionfacts.org

Sugar is obtained naturally through carbohydrates. Our cells convert the sugar glucose into energy. Not protein, not fat.. Sugar into energy. Artificial and processed sugars should be restricted in a diet, but please don't imply that you wont eat foods like fruit anymore because of their sugar content! Of course if youre…

Ive derived the information below from McDougall's book, The Starch Solution below. He extensively cites his claim throughout the novel. Protein: When we keep eating protein after our daily requirement, our bodies seek to expel it using our liver and kidneys. A diet high in animal protein, on average, makes our kidneys…

Sigh.. Low carb diets arent optimal. We crave sugars and starches (from carbohydrates) for a reason.. Just for some information, carbohydrates do not easily convert to fat. Fat does. Vegetables and fruit are mostly water and carbs.. And dont make one fat... I suggest reading some scientifically supported books and…

I had been taking gracinua cambogia irregularly for a month or two (probably 4-7 times a week). The brand is from NuYou Labs. As i was taking it, i didnt notice weight loss. In fact i probably gained weight slowly due to my poor dietary choices. Eventually i ordered a different brands because nuyou kabs uses gelatin! Im…

Either as a vegan "egg" sub or organic and cruelty free????

Granted, but you end up wasting mindless hours on the internet, spiraling into an addiction of youtube, cat memes and tumblr feeds, eventually ignoring your friends and family after months of isolation. I wish I could go to a Flume concert with my boyfriend );

I highly disagree with a previous comment regarding fats make you fuller, which is false. If anything, fiber and proteins makes you fuller. Which do you can eat more of, 1000 calories in apples (one apple is 80 cals) or 1000 calories in potato chips(a little less than a full bag)? i also saw an experiment on a show…

These weight gaining reports scare me! I recently got the shot and weighed 119.4 at 5'3" around June 9th. Lets see what happens in august when i go for my second dose. Keep in mind ive been a vegetarian for a year and in july im going on a raw vegan diet. I currently consume green tea and take weight loss supplements.…

Yes! I'm thrilled for your dietary changes. I recommend that you watch the documentary Meet Your Meat and also documentaries about genetically modified foods- all of which is on YouTube. It's one thing being vegetarian. It's another when you have a strong foundation for your choice by knowing what REALLY happens in today's…

Any salad drenched in fruit! Lol! Other than that, The Cheesecake Factory's Country Salad is really good too and is in the Skinnylicious menu.

When I really want a snack or something sweet to just munch on, I love to eat cantaloupe. It's very filling and an entire melon is 200-300 calories. When it comes down to it, skip the processed, chemical laiden, artificial, gmo food. Go natural: stick to what the earth has provided with us for thousands of years. Not just…
