Its never to late to make a change in your lifestyle... but it isn't for everyone. My point was that if you don't like the reality of what you eat or how it is made, go Plant-Based.

Everything that comes from a unhygienic factory farm will contain pus, feces, and other desirable items.... best way to stop eating the pus and feces is go Plant-Based... You don't need Milk and Animal products to get your nutrition

Calorie Dense Foods like Nuts... Increase intake of things like pasta and rice.... Peanut Butter sandwhiches are yummy

So New Jersey? :D

I am from Michigan but live in Germany

You look amazing! Keep up the good work!

Diet for a New America and Thank you for Smoking

Keep up the amazing work!

You look amazing!

I usually watch my friends play baseball during the season... sometimes my coach will let me step in and take a few swings... I played on the Unofficial university Co-ED league in Ann Arbor as well as a local church league. The church league is just a bunch of old guys who get together and play.. So i am always welcome…

I eat a plant-based diet... i've lost 10 pounds in 4 weeks and I lost more than an inch off my waist.

Not sure how to help.... I would suggest trying something like YOGA that doesn't stress the body so much but still has strength and cardio aspects included

how do these types of messages get on the forum? I would say that it isn't... but then again i don't watch it so i couldn't tell you very much about it

I gave up baseball after i needed ankle surgery on both feet, now i have arthritis problems in both feet.... I stopped playing after the age of 24. It was definitely game over when i shattered my nose taking a hot ball in the face at 2nd base... Now i just hike as much as my feet let me!

I notice quite a bit that people on here are eating on average 300 - 400 calories too less calories. This over the course of a week could add up to 1 or 2 full days without food. My advice to people is to eat more... but grab the healthy stuff. If its a banana or an apple or a bowl of oatmeal or what have you. You can do…

Forks over Knives was an excellent film. But it is really a simplistic summary of the China Study. I would highly recommend reading that book + the book "WHOLE" which is the follow up. Currently reading them myself right now. I find the Plant-Base view more effective to changing the minds of people than the cruelty point…

Oh I forgot... Color = Green (the darker the better)... Superhero = Batman...

I'm on a Plant-Based Diet. Gotta be careful with my words or the "Vegan Police" will get me. I will eventually switch to being a vegan when it's time to buy new things. But for now i just say that i am Plant-Based. However, I am also looking for new Vegetarian, Vegan, or Plant-Based Friends. Glad to join you while you try…

I check daily but only write down my weight on saturdays. It takes about a week to get a stable number free from influences like bloating, water weight, eating to much the day before ect. I have the most success on Saturdays

Try increasing your water intake and fruits and vegetables. Also add fiber to your diet!

Nice Job! You are making good progress... keep up the good work!

Any diet program would work. When i did weight watchers 6 years ago I lost about 70 pounds. Problem was i stopped the program and stopped counting calories and the weight came back in a matter of minutes. Any program you do, you need to remember that there is no magic formula they are trying to sell you. They show you how…

http://www.vegetarian.org.uk/factsheets/Protein-vegetarian-vegan.pdf Came across this article. Might be worth looking into: Although protein is vital for our survival, we don’t need as much as is commonly believed. Recommended amounts have more than halved in the past 20 or so years as several chronic diseases have been…

Here is what PETA has to say about the topic. I am not a PETA member or a strict vegan. I am on a plant based diet. But this article is going along the lines of what i had read. Nutrition experts estimate that most of us need between 0.8 and 1 gram of protein per day for every kilogram of body weight. That works out to 55…

To be honest i don't know the numbers off my head. I heard somewhere you really only need 45 grams (is that the right measurement) per day because you lose the rest with your bowel movements but i can't remember the nutrition article i read that in. Soy beans occur in nature and have a good source of protein. Tofu…

classic question to ask "plant-based" and vegetarians. The lack of protein is a myth. We get our proteins from fruits, vegetables, nuts, tofu, seeds, beans, and basically anything else you can think of that comes from nature. the problem most people face on the standard american diet (Dairy and Meat) is too much protein…

Make a glass of milk + ground flax seed + banana + strawberries and you'll be set ;)
