Spinach, kale, coffee, water.

Awesome and inspirational!

Never used to. Then started a program that shredded my hands. So, sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't. Depends on what I'm doing.

Fresh fruit :smile:

Welcome and good luck with your quest! Juicing does count. I'm a three year vegan and have been juicing for one year now. I love it. It's the ultimate fast food.

Yes it does! Most people don't realize this I think because they constantly overload their bodies with things that cause toxicity. The most obvious being alcohol, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, food color, preservatives, you get the idea. So step one is don't put garbage into your body. I saw a quote on someone's post…

It is scary. I was walking around New York last summer and saw a tour group of kids. Sadly, I knew they were not American as they all looked athletic and ready to run. Turned out they were French. Not one overweight kid in the bunch. I know we adults have problems, but it really depresses me when I see kids with soda guts…

Caffeine withdrawal is nasty. When I quit, the first day is ok but on the third day I get cravings and sometimes a headache. Then I'm good. Yes, I do fall off the wagon. I like coffee and drink it black, no sugar. Only had one today though!

I lost my head!

I think it's a matter of personal preference. My KB's are official RKB's and I'm very happy with them. A friend uses these as well as another brand which have better ergonomics for him. I've tried them and can't recall which brand but I did like them. You can always send them back if you don't like them.

Nuts and seeds are good for calories. They also have protein and the good kind of fats. The best way to eat them is raw non-salted.

Oh yeeeeeah!

When I'm on the run and can't stop for a "regular" meal, I grab a bag of raw nuts.

Thanks for the tips Comrades! Very much appreciated.

Just want to add that my first experience with MSM was about a year ago. I was shooting this video production and one of the guys is a nutritionist at a hospital. He gave me five pills of 1,000 mg of MSM with about four more of glucosamine / chondroitin. I was in serious pain. He said two thing: A) It's common for pro…

Not sure. I do use MSM for joint pain but not regularly and with no noticeable side effects. Thanks for posting and I'll let you know if anything happens. Have taken as much as 5,000 mg. and use Solgar brand.

Good week. If I flex I can see a six pack coming through. Best of all, the lady likes it. I think my pants are on steroids. They've gotten bigger and I have to tighten my belt to keep them up. Had my yearly physical last week and passed with flying colors. Doc says I should live to 100. T was normal to high. Only thing is…

The original post reads like this "...Now anyone with a basic knowledge of calories would know that one debbie cake is not going to completely negate the 2-3 pounds she should have lost this week. But she honestly thinks that's why she didn't lose..." I agree with it and don't mean to mislead or misinform anyone. We just…

Ok now, I understand your point. It wasn't clear before. Nothing dumb about that. What you're talking about is the absorption by the body of what's eaten. Therefore, sure, a pound of snack cake is stored as extra calories, i.e. fat whereas the fiber in a pound of broccoli is eliminated. That makes sense and I've always…

If I get on the scale, then someone hands me 6 oz. (0.375 lb) of anything, the scale goes up by 6 oz. whether it's a snack cake, rock, wood or an apple, the scale can't go up more that that.

You can only gain the amount of weight that the food weighs. If a snack cake weighs 6 oz. then that's all you'll gain from eating it. It's scientifically and mathematically impossible.

:smokin: Program is working. Nothing like being accountable and seeing the numbers, good & bad, right there.

Chocolate chip cookies with coffee. Just had some. Yup, I feel guilty and I'll get over it.

Neighborhood grocery store & coffee shop next to office. Aaaaaaaah javaaaaaa!

My diet is plant-based so all my calories come from fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, etc. Therefore I do count those calories. My philosophy is also to maximize my nutrition per calorie and nutrition per dollar. So for me, the same amount of calories in pizza and clementines don't contain the same nutrition or bang for the…

Other: Did it for Lent three years ago. Felt great. Decided I like feeling great all the time :smile: Favorite recipe? Not sure. Depends. It must be easy. In the summer, it's probably gazpacho. In the winter, lentil soup or chili.

Try adding new sauces and / or seasonings to what you make. There are even seasoning mixtures such as lemon pepper which can add zing to food.

Cows, pigs and chickens are also pumped with hormones to get the right "marbling" of the meat, i.e. the fat / muscle mix, make the animals grow faster to increase production of both milk and meat and therefore make more money. It's a business like any other and the animals are assets just like machines. If they're not…
