Welcome everybody! I'm pretty new on here too, feel free to add me. This is a great site with lots of great people for support! Good luck everyone!

Welcome! You took the first step and that's how everything needs to start! There's a lot of great people on here who will help motivate you and keep you going. Good luck to you, you can do this!

mmmmm...I'd put money on you meeting your daily caloric goal :)

made me laugh :))) absolutely nuts! not you, what you should add. :) or seeds...I've been having a problem with meeting calorie levels also...my favorite snack is a combination I made of raw cashews, raw sunflower seeds and goji berries. about a 1:1:1 mix depending on your tastes. good protein, good fiber, good…

I don't eat totally raw or vegan, I'd say about 90%-ish of the time vegan and 50-75% raw depending on my schedule (and mood to be honest). Can I still come play? Would love to find new recipes and meet others whose food diaries aren't made up of processed meals and stuff.

The only vitamin I take is a B complex since I eat mostly vegan and that is something many vegetarian/vegans are lacking. In the winter sometimes I have to take a D3 also but that's it. I think you can get most of what you need from your food if you eat right...I know, age old argument here. I do take garcinia cambogia for…

I agree with Bhan. Try different protein alternatives. You can usually find bulk amounts of dried beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, etc. Tofu, tempeh, seitan are also great but may be a bit more expensive if that is important to you. You need a little more time to prep and prepare food this way but it is so worth it. I usually…

Perfect, thank you Sir!

I'm sticking around for awhile, feel free to add me!

Thank you both for your thoughts. I feel good, am losing at a healthy rate and my blood glucose levels are always fine so I guess I'll just stick to the sugar levels I'm getting unless I notice any negative changes. And thank you, I'll look for "juiced" or "extracted" versions of fruits. I'd been doing what you were before…

Welcome! I'm relatively new on here too and love it so far! Lots of motivated people who really get behind you and give you a little boost! Feel free to add me and good luck!!!

Welcome! I've used the app for this off and on for a while but just started on here about a week ago...there's some great people on here who give you lots of support! I'd love another "buddy" if you want to add me! Good luck to you!

Well...I never ever said that meat is unhealthy at all. You even highlighted my exact words and that was simply, if someone is going to start a juice fast to not switch from a standard meat heavy diet to nothing but fruits and vegetables in one quick leap. You can't shock your body so completely like that. You at least…

I saw the same movie and was really impressed by his results also. I completely understand that point that you aren't going to sustain yourself on nothing but juice for the rest of your life so why bother doing a fast like this but it has such incredible benefits (not just weight loss) that I absolutely recommend it as…

jenzenzen, the best way to eat well is find foods as close to their natural state as possible. if there are a bunch of ingredients on a food's list, then ditch it. I make a lot of my own foods and have created some real good replacements for a lot of the stuff that's out there. I make a protein bar even that is a good…

Pick me pick me pick me :)) i've tried this app before but am new to the website. I'd love to spread some motivation around and get some in return!

I would love to be a part of this. I don't tend to binge on processed foods and sweets but I just like food, good food. I'll get a meal I wouldn't normally allow myself to have like pasta or mexican or something. Feel free to add me, We can try to talk each other off the ledge :)

I'm also 5'3", Mom of 2, always worked shift work, EMS Medic. Temporarily a stay at home Mom but looking for support!!!!!

This is great!!

Ugh, this is a great idea...but I honestly can't think of anything right now. Nothing that I have anything to do with anyways. People always say I have pretty hair but I suppose that compliment should really go to my parents :)

Great idea to start all over fresh! Good luck to you! I agree, I've been finding my own excuses too and am done with that. Would love to find similar people on here!

I completely get what you're talking about! I've tried this before but never very whole-heartedly. I'm back for good this time too. I'm new to this website though and think it could be useful. I like being able to "talk" to people on a similar path. Good luck!

I absolutely LOVE to cook and have had so much fun figuring out how to make really good, vegan meals. I love recreating a meal into something we'll eat. I came up with a Mexican casserole kind of thing that was vegan and also wheat free and the whole family loved it (even our 6 year old). I'd love to exchange ideas like…

@icebear...ah, you are so correct but eeewwww :)

Also, I eat raw quite a bit also. Did a reset kind of thing after I got off track for a while over the holidays and absolutely loved it! After that I switched to two raw meals a day and then now usually to one raw meal a day. I feel so much better when I eat this way, it makes no sense not to. I'd love to get some ideas…

Sorry, I think I was also misleading. This isn't just a new quick temporary fix for me to lose weight. We actually have been eating this way for over 9 months now and it is a lifestyle change for us, not a fad diet. I should clarify that I'm not against eating animals in the way that it used to be or the traditional sense…

I guess, my post sounded a little harsh, I'm not opposed to anyone reason's for however they eat, I just wanted to explain mine is all so as not to mislead anyone. I'd love someone to share recipes and ideas with if your still interested!

If you really want to change your overall health instead of simply losing weight, pay attention to what you eat and what makes up what you eat. The closer to a food's original form you can get the better is is going to be for you; ie. fresh broccoli (organic or not) vs. processed frozen broccoli with cheese sauce. There is…

I make my own! You can put in pretty much whatever you want and don't get all the other additives and preservatives you find in commercial ones. I make mine with oats, any type of raw peanut butter, golden raisins or dried cranberries or any other dried fruit, raw sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds. You can add dates if you…

Definitely agree with making different meal plans. No matter how good something is, it will get boring after a while. Depending on just how "clean" you want to eat, try adding some other protein sources. I make my own protein shakes or add protein powder that I make into the juice I make for breakfast. Chia seeds are great…
