Sorry I didn't get back to you! It wasn't cheesy as much as GARLICKY! Recipe was from Chef Chloe: Garlic White Bean Puree (can be prepared up to 2 days in advance) 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini or other white beans, rinsed and drained ¼ cup olive oil 2 tablespoons water 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 cloves garlic ½ teaspoon…

Attempting to make a pizza-- white bean puree spread w/sweet potato, kale, and carmelized onion toppings. I've never made a pizza before, so wish me luck! No Daiya or other fake cheeses... not a huge fan so far.. but I will sprinkle some nooch on top :)

This is so helpful to me. I've gained about 6-7lbs that just will not budge-- since I joined the gym 2 months ago and started running 3-6 miles, 6 days a week + strength training 3x/week. I know I have gained muscle, but I also gained an inch of fat aorund my waist I am not happy with. Before this I was maintaining my goal…

I love these.

I gradually switched over to a plant-based diet (started last July). I did it for mainly my health, not to lose any extra weight- I was already within 5 pounds of my goal weight at that time. You can definitely gain weight just as easily with a plant-based diet (I am now up a few extra pounds!). I started by going…

"Beef" stock would probably work well :)

This is what I'm going to make- http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-vegetarian-guinness-ste-79395

I eat 1/2 banana with 1 tablespoon of nut butter before my workout in the AM. I use the other 1/2 of a banana in my post-workout smoothie.

Vega's on sale at amazon right now for super cheap- like $34 for a huge tub- because they are apparently reformulating it. Stock up!

I like Vega natural flavor the best.

Was 36G, now 32F. Hoping to get a bit smaller as it's VERY difficult to find that size anywhere :(

I do the same thing as GoodMorningGirl!

Super Natural Every Day by Heidi Swanson. It's vegetarian with some vegan recipes... but every single thing I've made from there or her blog (101cookbooks.com) has been just amazing. Also support Veganomicon. Spork Fed!

1 complete rest day.

I don't try to log anything when I go out to eat. A tasting menu is an experience. Just enjoy it.

I love LuLu at well (their ta-ta tamer is the best sports bra EVER), but they are expensive. I've found a good, much cheaper alternative to be Old Navy's active line-- believe it or not! I have 3 workout pants/shorts from them and a workout top and they have all held up very well through tons of washing. I'm going to go…

I love tempeh! I have made Sprok Fed's ginger maple mustard tempeh, and most recently this recipe: http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/06/pan-fried-mung-beans-with-tempe.html BBQ-sauce tempeh is tasty as well.

I"m vegan, always up for more friends!

I am a clinical pharmacy specialist working in ambulatory care. Basically, I spend my days helping patients manage their diabetes, hypertension, and cholesterol. They are consulted to me by their doctor for more involved care.

buy steel cut oats. they take a full 30 minutes to cook but are well worth the extra time. they have a more "chewy" texture. i love them! I cook multiple servings at once, 1-2 times per week, so the extra cooking time is completely manageable.

My boyfriend and I go to a local Asian market at least once a month. We stock up on things like sesame oil, rice vinegar, rice cooking wine, Sriracha, chili garlic sauce, etc. The prices are exponentially lower than at a big-name grocer. We also get produce like enoki mushrooms, bok choy, daikon, ginger root for a fraction…

I just started a modified version of that workout I found online, that also incorporates Jillian's yoga meldown DVD which I also own. It's a little harder. Today will be Day 3, but I like having a set schedule! Before, I was just alternating between the Shred levels 2 & 1, Yoga Meltdown 1 & 2, Burn Fat Boost Metabolism,…

I workout usually 4.30-5.30 or 5-6pm. I eat back my exercise calories through a protein smoothie directly afterwards. I wait about 1-2 hours before I eat dinner then (7-8pm usually). It's been working for me and eating dinner later means I have less "dessert" cravings.

I am going vegan mainly for health, but also for the environmental aspects. I guess right now I am "flexitarian" in that I keep a vegan kitchen at home, but mainly eat vegetarian/ sometimes pescetarian outside of home. I'm planning to become a bit more strict in the upcoming months and really focus on making the change…

I am going to do the same thing starting tomorrow! I've had so much sugar over the past 3 weeks that I feel gross. I can't curb the cravings either! So starting tomorrow, I'm going to eat tons of fruit and veggies, and grains like lentils and quinoa. I did one after thanksgiving and I felt great! I had smoothies for…

I am transitioning to vegan from being pescetarian for the past 5 months- so thank you for this post! I use Garden of Life's RAW protein powder as my post-workout protein supplement. 1 scoop is 80 calories with 16-18g of protein (I forget the exact amount). It has NO SWEETENERS at all, not even Stevia, which I like. I tend…

32F here... lululemon's "ta ta tamer." Awesome name, best sports bra I've ever used. Pricey (I think around $68?) but worth every penny.

I actually burn MORE calories based on my FT4 w/JIllian BFBM than logging it as "circuit training." I believe MFP had it at around 280 calories for me-- I usually burn around 460-500 (with some outlier days of 420 - 550). Same with a yoga class I took- 60 min class burned 178 calories when MFP would've said 144. My FT4 is…

Medical journals. Search for articles by a Dr. Holick, he is a leading medical expert on vitamin D deficiency and its link to medical conditions such as diabetes, depression, etc etc etc! The list goes on and on. (I am a clinical pharmacist who has researched this myself because I am deficient).
