"INGREDIENT LIST: Dates (35%), nuts (26%) (cashews, walnuts), oats (16%), banana (11%), raisins (10%), natural vanilla flavour." Yes, the fat, sugar, and sodium come from those ingredients naturally. You could make these kinds of bars at home for way less money by the way, it's easy

She's barely eating any vegetables, of course it has a bearing on the overall macronutrient ratio. It stimulates a low thyroid function that makes it extremely difficult to lose weight when the body is getting empty calorie foods from poor sources. P.S. - I personally don't believe in the MFP IIFYM philosophy that all…

The reason why the weight isn't coming off is most likely because of the high amount of carbohydrates and sodium. You need to raise the amount of protein and fat - eat less processed foods and more vegetables, whole eggs, and meat. Also minimize or eliminate grains and fruit if you can. Forget about exercise for now, what…

B12 is a must, you should always have sublingual tablets on hand. What exists in foods is fortified with vitamin b12 (nutritional yeast, breakfast cereals, soy milk, etc.) and it isn't ideal to rely on those because they typically don't get fully absorbed. Don't believe any vegan who tells you that B12 exists naturally in…

Haven't heard that one before, really. The point is that the vast majority of comments on here are fake, if that's not obvious to you then that's unfortunate.

This post is at least 85% made up of fake commenters. Do NOT believe what you read on here. This company is very aggressive and dishonest with their shady marketing and they're known to recruit people who'll advertise for them across the web. There are ways to lose weight that don't involve this kind of unhealthy quick fix…

Look up Denise Minger and her criticism of the fruitarian diet (and the dental damage that she caused to herself as a fruitarian when she was younger)

This site is pretty much exclusionary to anyone who isn't a proponant of hegemonic white male cishet ideals (+ it's US-centric at that). Therefore, you either get followers of the SAD or those who slightly deviate from it without upsetting the dominant paradigm. What with all the incessant bullying happening in the main…

chips and salsa

Happy birthday :) and good luck!

Congrats!

Genuine question...is that an American thing? In my country (and some European countries I've travelled to), cottage cheese is incredible. It's not at all mushy or lumpy, it's more like whipped cream actually (even the low-fat versions)

Go open up a tabloid if you're thirsting for this kind of "knowledge"

This post does nothing but perpetuate *kitten* that trivializes and delegitimizes real people's medical issues. Pulling studies out of your *kitten* isn't going to make millions of people's gluten intolerance magically disappear. Spreading this BS causes food service workers to ignore these concerns and end up endangering…

side-eyeing all the disturbingly transphobic commenters in this thread...

I've been happily vegan for a few years now, add me if you'd like :)

Here's a few more links if you're interested: http://www.animalsaustralia.org/factsheets/dairy_cows.php https://www.facebook.com/notes/michael-vegananarchist-ahimsa/common-anti-vegan-arguments-how-to-quickly-refute-the-same-lame-excuses-that-are/120926087965760 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4HJcq8qHAY Hope that helps :)

Yup. Reject it all you want, you're not the one who's had first-hand experience with this kind of treatment. People get defensive because they assume you're judging them simply based on the fact that you don't eat meat, you don't even have to say anything. I can't count the amount of people who introduced me as a vegan or…

Oh yeah, she's "asking for it", isn't she? I wouldn't expect you to understand the kind of backlash a vegetarian/vegan always gets, regardless of their response. It doesn't matter how many times you say "no, thanks" - eventually people always want to know why, and when you finally tell them they start calling you militant…

This page has lots of great counter-arguments (especially to that ridiculous "but plants have feelings too!!11" one): https://www.facebook.com/notes/michael-vegananarchist-ahimsa/common-anti-vegan-arguments-how-to-quickly-refute-the-same-lame-excuses-that-are/120926087965760

These are usually my options: Sun-dried tomatoes (my fave), spinach (one by one out of a bag...somehow it's more palatable for me than eating it raw as a part of a salad), sliced/canned mushrooms with some seasoning or a tbsp of hummus mixed in, baby corn, etc. :)
