It sounds like you would like Eat to Live by Dr. Fuhrman. It's very similar to what you are mentioning. You can eat unlimited vegetables, beans and fruit, with a limited amount of nuts and starches. I've been eating this way for 6 weeks and I love it.…

There is so much social baggage with going vegan! Don't beat yourself up about slip-ups, there is no such thing as a 'perfect' vegan. It helps to know why you want to be vegan (ethical, health, environmental, etc) and have a prepared response about your lifestyle/dietary decision, what it entails, and why (ex: I'm a strict…

Congratulations! I got engaged over the holidays too and I love all these suggestions! My other half is a flexitarian, and really wants meat at the wedding :( but he is on-board with "vegan everything" except a meat station. I was thinking I wouldn't make it obvious everything is vegan, and shock my country family with…

We've just started a league, so the goal is to keep recruiting and get everyone to minimum skills! Personally I want to get to the level of our experienced skaters and up my coaching skills.

Yes! I sub it 1:1 in seitan recipes and the difference is not very noticeable. :)

I get most from greens, tofu and soy milk. I don't worry about hitting 100% every day.

Me too! If you make your own seitan and can find this it's almost the same! http://www.orgran.com/products/172/

Really depends what kind of recipe you are subbing. Think about what the tofu / seitan / tempeh is doing in the recipe. Usually it's providing texture and protein. I use chickpeas a lot to replace tofu / seitan / tempeh. Not because I avoid the products, but because I'm usually out of them or trying to save some money on…

And this one is excellent! I use frozen or canned beans and skip the first 2 steps and cook the chili in the slow cooker. http://www.plantingourpennies.com/tvp-chili-a-recipe-for-your-health-and-wealth/ TVP Chili This recipe makes a HUGE batch of chili – about 15 1 cup servings all less than $6 if you include all the…

We are having a "free meals" week at my house, we are only eating food out of the pantry and freezer :) I made a big pot of this recipe from the Appetite for Reduction cookbook - nutrition stats are already listed on MFP. Where I live, it works out to $0.40 a serving with rice!! Easily doubled. Red Lentil and Root Veggie…

I've got the FT4 and I think it's the base model (not a lot of frills!). It works well for what I need. It doesn't GPS your runs or sync with the computer, but it shows your heart rate, calorie burn, time, etc. I input my calories burned into MFP at the end of my workout. No frills = cheaper! It's also much smaller than a…

May be that you are not used to all the fiber from the healthy food!

I did a 2-day juice fast and I really liked it. I was very skeptical about it, but was surprised at how full I felt and how much energy I had - especially without caffeine! The Fat sick and nearly dead website (www.rebootwithjoe.com) has a lot of information on it including sample fasts and loads of recipes for juice. They…

I love cooked quinoa stuffed in bell pepper with salsa, corn and black beans.

There are other brands of powdered peanut butter too, one at Trader Joe's, but I haven't tried them. I dont' really like PB2 on it's own as a substitute for peanut butter, but I love it for it's convenience factor in peanut sauce or stir frys ... no microwaving the peanut butter to get it to sorta mix with the other…
