:laugh: It's tasty!

"[The HCG] treatment became all the rage; for a time, it was the most widespread medication given in the United States to lose weight, and was the main treatment used in eighty Weight Reduction Medical Clinics in California. Unfortunately, it didn't work: None of the mainly female patients seeking treatment, it turned out,…

Nice to meet ya! There are plenty of vegans on MFP. Most of them are working on losing a bit of weight, but it definitely is handy to have a tool that allows you to track what kinds of nutrients we're getting!

Blending silk tofu with fruit and a bit of lemon juice + agave makes a good homemade "yogurt". Here's a recipe to make cashew "yogurt"; http://vegetarian.lovetoknow.com/Vegan_Yogurt There are also commercial vegan yogurt replacements in the refrigerated section of your health food store, probably. Check this out, too:…

You should read "Eating Animals" by Jonathan Safran Foer. http://www.eatinganimals.com/site/book/ Acquaint yourself with as many different vegetables, fruits, legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds as possible and you should do just fine. Feel free to send me a message with any questions you might have and I'll try my best to…

Olive Oil OK. :smile:

"expensive pee"

Go see a doctor.

:laugh: Now excuse me.. :smokin:

right! :glasses:

OK guys, here are a couple links to pubmed abstracts dealing with the QUESTION AT HAND, if it was ever really "at hand". http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21172406 jo's summary: rats received injections of cannabidiol every day for two weeks. This produced a significant decrease in body weight gain.…

I've heard a lot of "parasite" horror stories, and understand why it would gross somebody out. People say to take black walnut, wormwood, cloves, whatever. Being told that there are bugs inside me and that I need to eat a special potion to get them out is an extra imaginative way to try and get me to spend money. If you…

Sorry son, I can't hear you! I'M WEARING MY JACUZZI SUIT! :laugh:

search "vegetarian" in the recipes forum and you'll find lots of good options :)

Let's stop throwing around the term "natural". Snake venom is natural and you wouldn't put it in your body. It's a misnomer.

This is true. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21227997 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21196184 This is not.

Amen sister.

:noway: There are literally thousands and thousands of dishes that do not include meat!! I assume you are looking for meat *alternatives* though? Start surfing some food blogs for ideas. There are tons out there. ie: http://www.tastespotting.com/ http://happyveganface.blogspot.com/ http://www.yourveganmom.com/…

these are probably the "best" choices (ie least calories): - steamed shrimp dumplings - edamame - steamed tofu - man-doo soup - mi-yuk soup - the salads

Excellent, thanks for the research!

sorry, double post! read this! http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4080

Short answer: No. It is an urban legend that microwaving changes the chemical composition of food. Long answer: Microwaves work by emitting an electromagnetic wave at 2.5 GHz, making the water molecules in food vibrate, which causes friction, which makes heat. Molecules that are bigger and less polar than water are…

I am also curious! Come on, stomach specialists! Information?

Hi there, I have lots of experience cooking without dairy. Please feel free to send me a message if you have any specific questions . As far as your wedding event, it shouldn't be too hard to skip the dairy. If it's an a-la-carte thing, just tell your waiter that you're lactose intolerant and he/she will advise you. If…

Most people suggest you eat those extra calories as well, but then again some people's baseline for their calories is much lower- around 1,400/day. Personally (and I am not a doctor) I would suggest you eat half of your exercise calories for a week or two, as well as your base calories, listen to what your body is telling…

Start by eating how many calories you've been allotted. If you eat less than that number, it's more and more likely that your body will "stall" and stop losing weight (because your metabolism will slow). Most people recommend that you eat about half of your exercise calories. That way, if you have overestimated how many…

I want to high-five you.

Hi Scott, The 2,250 calories per day that MFP has allotted you already figures in a deficit. That means if you eat 2,250 calories/day you should be losing weight. If you've calculated a 2 lb/week deficit in your "Goals" section, then it would make sense that you're running a 1,000 cal deficit / day x 7 days = 7,000…

Hey :) I know I'm doing very well with my budget if I spend $ 200/mo (CAD) on groceries and eating out. But it really depends on your lifestyle! I would suggest tracking everything you purchase for an entire month in a booklet (or just keep the receipts) to see what your spending habits are. Then sit down with your bank…
