  • Herewegoagain! Yes please add me. I am far away in proximity but close in relation to some of the things you are going through. I read your profile and can relate. I love the measurement of weight in "stones". If I am calculating properly,I need to lose about three stones. I've gotten off to a good start and love the…
  • Whole grains, vegetables and beans are the mainstays, All organic when ever possible and locally grown. Sea vegetables, tofu, miso and tempeh. Fresh fish is OK. Brown Rice syrup and Barley malt is used for sweeteners. No highly processed foods,chemicals, no GMOs. It's kind of a hippy diet that has been around for a while…
  • Here I am. I consider myself macrobiotic, but it is pretty much a vegan diet. I try to eat fish a couple of times a week. Basically no meat, dairy, eggs, sugar. Feel free to add me.
  • My daily allotment is 1290, but I usually have 200 to 300 left over each day. Add me if you wish, we can share some recipes or ideas if you like.
  • Choose your friends wisely. It is pretty obvious when people are buying into marketing tricks, and believe that weight loss can happen over night. Help them when you can and when they aren't responding appropriately, maybe we will see them around next year this time, a little more war-torn and prepared to listen to the…
  • Hi, I describe myself as macrobiotic which is basically vegan, but I do eat fish twice a week. Otherwise, no meat, chicken, pork, dairy, or eggs. I have a lot of recipes and would be glad to share. Feel free to add me as a friend and we can help each other with wholesome eating.
  • A cup of cooked amaranth has 9 grams of protein. I am not good with Amaranth yet, but am still experimenting with recipes. Would love any good ones anyone may have tried. One cup of cooked bulgur has 6 grams of protein. I love Tabouleh! One cup of cooked quinoa provides 9 grams of protein. There are so many good recipes…
  • A teaspoon spread on a rice cake seems to fill me up enough to get to the next meal or to bedtime works for me. Mindless snacking and dipping, probably not.
  • Hummus with veggies, hummus on rice cakes or whole grain bread or crackers, almonds and cashews (but not too much), orange slices, apples, Baked chickpeas, kale chips...maybe those suggestions will spark your imagination.
  • What a sweet baby! My plan is to lose 60, but I'm taking it 10 at a time. I am happy to help you hang in there and get the job done. Feel free to add me, and lets get started!

  • When I am hungry in between meals, I usually try to eat something hot or warm because it feels more substantial and fills me up. I make a vegetable Miso soup almost every day and vary the recipe so that it doesn't always taste exactly the same. I can eat a cup and a half for just under 100 calories. (Really any vegetable…
  • I am very sorry for your loss. I suffered several miscarriages and understand the devastation. I have an amazing son who is now 20, and the light of my life. Be easy on yourself and give yourself the time you need. I might also add that sometimes you may have friends, relatives or acquaintances say insensitive things to…
  • Hi, Add three pounds and quite a few more years and we are in the same boat. I am getting started once again but feel certain this time is the charm. I'll be more than happy to add my support to your effort.
  • Hello, whole grains have protein, especially Quinoa, beans, lentils, legumes, nuts and seeds, Meat substitutes like Seitan and Veggie Burgers, (make your own veggie burgers in large batches and freeze them), Tempeh, Broccoli and other green vegetables have protein as well. I will be happy to share some recipes with you if…
