I finally found this site again... Lisa, I plugged in my numbers in the BMI calculator and it wasn't pretty... more motivation! So nice to see everyone here and some new faces! Weddings can be so stressful! Zoot, thinking of you during this time in your and your parent's life. I just lost my dad to heart attack last fall.…

Mihani, you work so hard, I thought things might have eased up for you, Utah, it has been super humid here in Phoenix, AZ and hot today, miss the "dry heat", glad to hear you are doing well, those greens can be harsh on the tummy! I would love to see pictures of the wedding, so exciting! I don't think I could do hula-hoop…

I wasn't sure if I would be able to get in still... I've been away for so long! All of the items in this discussion look so good! I decided to post my picture of what I looked like last year after being with you all - so, I am trying to get back to that weight and then continue on again like I never left! So glad to like…

Hi everyone! I really like ETL! RayF24, you should get a blood test and then let your physician know you will eating very little to no meat, dairy, etc. make sure your B12 is good, and if it is you will need at least B12 supplements (check with your doctor). I had my blood tested again after doing ETL for a while to see…

Yesterday I was good - one day down! :smile:

Golden190: me too!!!

I keep caving in and giving in to having a glass of two of red wine.... need to find strength to leave it so I can make it to my next weight loss goal... What helps you to stay away from your glass or glasses of wine, bubbly, Jim Beam, Rum, Vodka, Beer, etc.? Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

I've been trying - but have been unsuccessful... would like to join...

I'm going to try some of these!

I like to make chickpea flour and use it for pizza crust, pasta and wraps!

Hi everyone, my name is Angie and I am from Phoenix, AZ, US and I have suffered from hypothyroid for years, but recently diagnosed and placed on medicine by the doctor. Now I am 50 years (at 20 years I was tired all the time and never knew why), and working hard and removing the fat yet once again with diet, cardio and…

Doing Body-for-Life - lifting weights and watching what I ate, I did lose weight but also gained muscle and my body transformed how it looks... that was at age 43. It always seems I lift weights and lose weight at the same time... I know muscle is denser than fat and therefore I can weigh more and look smaller. It was a…

Check out Eat to Live, Super Immunity by Dr.Joel Fuhrman... He will also be on Dr. Oz this Monday to discuss a new way of eating for life. I am doing Eat to Live and am loving it! Good luck in reversing or keeping your diabetes at bay!

Wow!!!! So impressive!!!! Good job! So inspiring! Thank you!

Looks really healthy! HDL a tad low - would think it would be higher with all the exercise you get in....

Bought a dehydrator to make my own Kale chips. Must have a Kale, Banana, Berry and Almond Milk Smoothie with my VitaMix

I am 24 days into doing the Eat to Live eating plan by Dr. Joel Fuhrman doing the 60-day aggressive weight loss plan. I am loving it - this month I lost 10 pounds. DH and I have been trying to go vegan for about 4 years looking for supportive people wanting to go vegan and to share recipes with. Right now I am limiting my…

Hi, my DH and I have been going vegetarian on and off for about 4 years, DH brought home Forks Over Knife. We then watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead and then Food Inc. About two years ago, I found a naturopath that told me to watch Forks Over Knife, and Eat to Live. I bought the book Eat to Live and played with some of the…

Doing Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman and he has a cookbook too. Also like Oh She Glows blog and she has a cookbook. This is my favorite Vegan Split Pea Soup: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/vegan-split-pea-soup-i/

thevoice1973: thank you and I am sorry too. I am flexible in what I believe, I am just excited because this is working for me. I don't like preachy. I actually looked at the Dukin diet and have his cookbook. I've done the whole bodybuilding thing and I understand nutrition and protein. In fact I still lift and run. You are…

thevoice1973, I have read more than one book and more than one study, and I didn't feel I was preaching, I was replying to the original post. If you didn't like the name of the post or the information in it, why did you comment?

I wasn't going to post again, but Dr. Fuhrman allows meat the diet. Again, please read the book before passing judgment. Also read, Forks Over Knife..

Again, please read the Eat to Live book by Doctor Joel Fuhrman before making judgments or thoughtless statements. Don't put down people looking for true nutrition. I don't count calories, and I look for nutrient rich foods, whole foods not processed. I also review what is good to eat to avoid cancer and/or recover from…

Hi, I'm doing the Eat to Live Plan by Dr. Joel Fuhrman and am in Day 18 and loving it!! See my blog: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/arios952013 - see the archives to go to day one then follow it up.

See the Movie: Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead - here is the official website - I think they have some of it on there as well... http://www.fatsickandnearlydead.com/

Try the Eat to Live, by Dr. Fuhrman. It is a lot of good fruits and vegetables with limited meats. Many success stories. I am enjoying it now and it is fairly easy and straightforward. It isn't a fad diet like Paleo but a way of living.

Spinach, either cooked or fresh in a salad.

Eat to Live has a Cookbook that has wonderful ideas for breakfast. I personally like a smoothie that consists of dark leafy kale or spinach (spinach has the most protein), almond milk, 1/3 banana, berries... or you can make a green one. I posted quite a few recipes under Vitamix... Cheers!

Vegetables that contain protein: One cup of cooked spinach 5.4 grams for only 42 calories One cup of frozen broccoli 5.8 per 52 calories One cup of tofu 18.0 for only 165 calories One cup of lentils (cooked) 16 grams of protein for only 175 calories. Also beans and legumes remove cholesterol from your body and makes you…

Check out Eat to Live by Dr. Fuhrman, they say added protein isn't necessary but there is something out there called RawFusion has pea and rice protein and has the amino acids. Added protein could be harmful to the kidneys. Please educate before adding extra protein to your body. Vegetables that contain protein: One cup of…
