Bump

True. I sing everywhere. TNP likes to be a tease.

True. TNP is happy with their Life.

In the morning before breakfast without clothes. Every Friday. Then I go out for my cheat meal.

No need to be snarky. OP was just asking a question, and there are plenty of low-carb vegans around (including my partner).

Hi! Fellow vegan here. I find I actually do better with a high carb diet, but I might be able shed some light here. Seitan, tempeh, and tofu are all really high in protein and are vegan. As an example, 100 grams of seitan is 75 grams of protein and only 14 grams of carbs. I put them on my salads and pair it with dinner.

Grading papers. Bleh.

The issue here isn't whether or not a vegan diet is better than OP's. The issue is that the "friends" in this situation are being disrespectful. If it were me, I'd sit them down and tell them, once and for all, that you do not want to hear about this or be harassed about it any further. If you are, then you cannot spend…

I loved my personal trainer when I had her. She was incredibly talkative, which helped me during the more intense work-outs. She was also able to customise work-outs around my health conditions. All-in-all, if you feel like it would help, go for it. No harm in trying, right? And if he seems untrustworthy, you don't have to…

There isn't a lot of protein in plant-based milks, but I don't think there's meant to be. I use almond milk for smoothies (the unsweetened variety), and coconut milk in baking. Soy milk in some recipes, but it's few and far between. I don't drink animal milk, but I'm a sucker for Silk's chocolate almond milk. My best…

I personally think it's probably a waste of money, but I've had wheat grass before. It honestly just tastes the way grass smells, and it's pretty powerful. If I was to have a whole shot of it outside of a fruit smoothie, I'd definitely want an OJ chaser.

Woah. Dem muscles.

I keep mine closed for two reasons. 1) Most of my foods are recipes, because I cook a lot. No one would be able to know what was in the food anyway if there's only a title. 2) The most important reason: I use the food notes to track my moods, my hunger, personal notes, etc. Some things (like disappointment, anger, etc.) I…

Jeez. I did not mean to start a huge thing. Right now, I weigh all my food because I've found I need to *learn* what these portion sizes are supposed to look like. I like weighing things and being precise, and it's worked well for me so far. I feel like weighing things helps me; it's like training wheels until I've taught…

Side note: I love your bucket list. Seriously love it.

Added. I'm Alex. Not a camper, but I spent a couple months backpacking in Utah and understand how it could be easy to pack unhealthy stuff (produce doesn't stay fresh). :P

Great point you guys. And thanks for the reminder on strawberries, knra_grl; I hadn't been doing that. You guys rock.

Thanks so much! :-)

Because weighing is the most accurate way to know how many calories I am consuming. Thanks for the input though.

Yes.

I have a severe case of hypothyroidism, and as you can see, I've lost more than 10 pounds so far. As long as you have the proper medication, and possibly come to terms with the fact you may have to adjust your calories a little lower, you'll be able to lose weight. Untreated? That's a different story...yikes. (I could tell…

Eager to better herself.

I want to disagree with everyone saying that you'll find a man when you lose more weight. I found the best man I'd ever met after I *gained* weight. However, I have found that losing weight makes me happier. Mostly because I feel better. Then it's because I can do more things that I love easier (surfing, yoga, etc). Third,…

I'm 5'9", and I'm not sure. Somewhere between 145-165. I naturally carry a lot of muscle in my legs if I work out even a tiny bit, and 150 was getting a bit too small for me back in the day. However, things change, so I'm going to see how I look once I hit 169 and go from there. :-)

I empathise with the cakes. There was a whole cake in my kitchen two days ago. Was.

OP, please do not listen to this advice. It is really not healthy.
