Did you actually watch it tho?

I watched it and thought it was well done. Being a vegan athlete myself I can certainly attest to the claims of pretty much all of my athletic abilites increasing 10-fold once eliminating animal products entirely. Also my sleep got way better as did my skin, hair, nails. Pretty much everything got better, including my…

I have heard from a lot of people that either get real sick on Keto or they have great success but can't sustain, end up gaining back weight. Another fad diet... let's see how they re-brand it next year once its run its course.

I am 100% vegan and have been for a little while - feel free to add me :smile:

Half a package of organic Asian Quinoa mixed with sauteed onion, mushroom and spinach sprinkled with blueberries and sunflower seeds. Delish!

2-cups of spinach, 2 oz. white onion, 1 oz. baby bella mushrooms, 1/4 c. blueberries, 1 Tbspn. Pepitas, 1 Gardein vegan breakfast sausage. Heated everything for about a minute. Mixed with a little salt and a lot of black pepper.

You are welcome :) Whole Foods has a 7-nut and seed butter. For me there were too many different things going on so it tasted sort of generic. They also have one that is just seeds only, that one is great!

You said the word "conspiracy" I didn't

So last night I made roasted brussel sprouts with white onion and wild mushroom, chopped garlic and served it on top of wilted fancy greens, added some pepita seeds and white beans, greens seasoning and a lot of black pepper. It was delicious and so simple to make!

Thank you! Appreciate it!

Agree - Palm oil is terrible for the environment as far as the media is concerned. But I still had to at least try it.

Because that's what it's called. GBOMBS. Google it!

Yes, that's exactly where it came from. It's been around for a while. I don't agree or disagree with all of his information but I know how I feel when I follow the plan and that can't be wrong :smile:

Sounds great! I love lentils and like to use them in a lot of my cooking! I will have to try the stew. I love potatoes as well! Thanks!

Yes! I wish I had started this years ago as well! The feeling not only physically but mentally is quite incredible :smile: I am the same, I keep my eye on B12 but really don't have too. It's amazing to me that at the end of each day my macro's are just spot on, including protein! It makes me think that too many vegetarians…

For example the other night I made a big thing of lentils simmered in onion stock and I added mushrooms (all different kinds), shallots, pumpkin seeds, salt & pepper, a little turmeric and added some shredded apple, walnuts and carrot on top. I paired it with a sweet potato. It was delish! :smile:

I never said it was a "new and exciting new diet plan" but nice try.

Thank you! someone who actually read the post and didn't just pick out the words they wanted to be bitter about!

Really? and what does skinny or fat have to do with anything? I am just sharing some information on some nutrition that I find pleasing. If you don't like or don't agree... well I don't know what to tell you. But why so cynical and bitter? jeez...

This isn't a new diet - vegetables have been around for a long time heehee :wink:

Yeah - so read my post again. I incorporate other food items into the mix I am far from restricting and I am incorporate a variety of other food items into the basic GBOMB diet. Just doesn't include animal products, my own personal choice. To each their own :smile: I used to restrict way back when I first lost all of my…

There is abundance of a hormone called IGF-1 in milk, which is really good for baby cows, but not for you. IGF-1 is a growth hormone. It makes baby cows grow up big and strong, but in humans, it tends to make your acne grow big instead. IGF-1 is one of several factors that cause inflammation in humans, and which eventually…

Thanks for the replies

What are your biggest obstacles at the moment?

Sometimes. But I do it anyway and just own it! Work with what you have and try not to be anxious about it. The truth shall set you free :smile:

So I don't have kids and wouldn't even pretend to know how it feels to take care of babies let alone go through postpartum depression but I will say that I think talking to your doc first is a great idea! I teach a few kids self defense and fitness and I can tell you that they totally imitate what us adults do! They are…

I'll echo this! Classes are a great way to build that gym support system that'll launch you to the next step :smile: Classes create that sense of community. Your "tribe" if you will. Everyone is there for the same reason. Different goals, same motivation! Excellent advice @SugaSugaNooo

One of my best trainers always says "If it were easy everyone would do it!" At least you know there's a disconnect and that it is in your head, that's a baby step in the right direction right? I'd say you're on the right path and just keep at it regardless of how you feel. Eventually it won't be a thing, I promise. Cliche'…

As a gym rat and a trainer I can say that everyone feels the same way regardless of how they look. Usually people are too consumed with worrying about their own looks to notice anyone else's. When I first started going to the gym I felt anxious too. What helped me was to make a plan based upon what I wanted to do and based…

If you like beans those are an excellent choice! Mushrooms also!
