I am signed up for all the updates but have't see anything other then it is coming - I need to email Colin soon reg using his slides on my website for my business - I could slip it in and ask :)

I am a whole food plant based eater - alot of what you eat (meat, dairy, oil and processed food) will give your body a ton of inflammation, even at a reduced calorie intake, not to mention contribute to so many diseases like heart issues, cancer, diabetes and more. I became certified in WFPB nutrition from eCornell and if…

SO worth it! In fact they are going to be offering another add on course to the series that I will be taking - it was fantastic, at YOUR pace, anywhere you could access a laptop - I recommend it VERY highly! The info is just astonishing!

Animal protein is terrible for the body in so many ways - one only needs a max of 8-10% protein and this is easily achieved with fruits and veggies - check this amazing website of a prime athlete who eats all plant based - no animal anything in this man's diet! http://www.greatveganathletes.com/vegan_athlete_cam-awesome…

m_wilh, could not agree more! age is a huge factor for alot and eating plant based allows for eating in abundance. even when we went out to the concert and did dinner first, I stopped halfway thru a veggie sandwich - I was full. and yet I craved all the veggies in it. I am so glad to hear more and more people are at least…

So let's see - the questions I got: the dress was from Boscovs dept. store! seriously, in the dress section, a little lace number - could not resist so it was not a ton of money! the Louboutin's I got online at a huge discount and I LOVE them - they look like a work of art on my feet! I decided to get a mani / pedi and…

We made a China Study recipe that was a version of the hash potatoes you could get in a greasy diner - the trick was to steam the potato cubes first until soft, then transfer then to a non stick pan with veg broth - there we added peppers, onions, garlic and when we ate it, it was exactly like the home fries in a…

Photoshopped! LOL! Nope - it is really me and I am still somewhat in awe looking at the side by side - I guess when you look in a mirror every day you don't see yourself as losing weight - that is until you do a side by side like this which is a huge motivation...............and 259 days - my how time flies! Thanks for all…

All sounds yummy! I have fallen in love with the China Study cookbook - I stumbled thru so many other cookbooks when I switched to WFPB in Feb of this year and absolutely love the recipes - they are the closest in taste to how I used to eat!

They are but groups like this can get lost compared to the big boards - let me know what questions you might have - happy to help!

Uconncoed, These boards are a very unfriendly place. I learned early on to steer clear and personally, I don't get why people are that rude if they just disagree. Seems to me it defeats the purpose of a "support" forum. I switched to eating a whole food plant based diet in Feb of this year and also have seen the…

http://myphytos.com/ Great site that calculates the amt based on what you put in the juice.....................

Alan, So glad you are seeing results! Kristen

The cookbooks I love and use regularly: The China Study Cookbook - love, love it! The Nutty Noodle recipe in there is amazing - all quick meals for those of us who work! My Beef with Meat by Rip Esselstyn - great book and you must make the Adonis chocolate cake! any of the Happy Herbivore cookbooks are great As to kids or…

Dr. Campbell recommends an 80/10/10 split - 80% carbs - complex carbs from WFPB, 10% fat and only 10% protein - all from plants. Protein esp any higher has been shown in his studies to turn on cancer - much of America thinks more protein, more protein - not true - more protein only leads to poor health. Much of what we see…

Video is so great! Re-watching!

I am in a course at Cornell that T. Colin Campbell put out to get certified in llant based nutrition - I also started WFPB in Feb 2013 - much like you alot in the beginning came off and it is very much due to the body losing inflammation from the meat and dairy and oil you had been consuming. You are essentially cleaning…

I juice as a complement to eating whole foods plant based - and love it! I have a fairly standard mix of: lemon apple beet ginger chard kale cucumber cilantro turnip carrots What I did was create my own food - I went in and got the nutritional info from the database based on the set amts I add, totaled them and divided by…

Plant based foods only.....................

Ironically I do work in healthcare - my Bachelors is in business but I am taking this simply as an indep student wanting to know more about this lifestyle I live and am so passionate about - I am also trying to start a group here where I live to exchange recipes, health info by bringing in docs, I have a fitness guy…

Love the story and you look amazing!

cfredz - yes - you have it right!

mommypeanut - absolutely! send me an email and I can calculate for you!

calaz84 - what I found in researching this is that the TDEE # has your normal activity level built in by the level of activity you select - it's there - so for anything ABOVE my "normal activity" only THEN do I log in my exercise if I know it's more then typical and even then I only eat back SOME of the…

ruthc69 - the concept is scary - but after you eat more and it really sinks in WHY you are doing this to fuel the body and burn the excess, the fear does go away - I actually am now always in awe at the body and how amazing it is and how smart it is to know how to stay alive - you gotta eat - you just need to - your body…

monica1184 - your calc's look dead on correct - remember if it has been some time undereating - it can take a few weeks for that metabolism to come back - but it will - and some have a slight gain until it turns back on - don't panic - my advice would actually be stay away from the scale, eat at TDEE less the % and weigh…

Glad this is helping so many of you.............I just posted my updated pics on the Success Boards from Day 5 to Day 100 - eating whole food plant based is my biggest factor but TDEE less 20% is for sure a close second! I am by no means done but the pics do help me see the progress and that this method works! Check it…

Thanks guys! Snatched you are too funny! The idea to snap and post pics is a huge help to me so I am excited to keep on losing and at the end have one final Day 5 pic to current - bathing suit this weekend - it's getting there and is looking good!

I actually switched to whole food plant based in early Feb 2013 after a terrible year of health - a friend had me watch Forks Over Knives on Netflix and I am now going to enroll in Cornell's plant based nutrition course to get certified! I eat no meat, no dairy and no oil - only fruits, veggies and grains - nothing…

These were a riot!
