That was me. It's a great program to follow that's based in sound nutrition principles. I know quite a few people that have gained with them and they've had great results.
In my experience going low carb has a limit to around 6/8 months and then people spring back to heavier than before. The key is to go high fat while going low carb. Been doing this a little more than year. Lost 50lbs and feel incredible all the time. I have also been IF for the last 3 or 4 months.

I had strawberries and a banana with my 3 eggs this morning for breakfast instead of my usual 2 nutrigrain waffles and sugar free syrup. #trusttheprocess

How do you all roll off whole 30? I'm seeing a ton of benefits of it and will continue with the vast majority. Any tips to work back into other foods?
Just watched that. Sad Cliffs: Basically we're all fucked no matter what we eat and the leading health organizations like the ADA, AHA all take money from the companies that make foods widely linked to cancer, diseases and other health issues and take money from pharmceutical companies that make drugs to fight diseases that the health organizations are supposed to warn us about.
After one month on Whole 30, I lost ~17 pounds and feel great. I have a ton more energy. I'm going to keep up with the vast majority of it. It is crazy how easy it was to lose the weight. The challenge aspect of the 30 days and the quick success of better fitting pants ensured I kept doing it. I didn't realize how poorly I ate before this.
Peanuts. And being surrounded by sugar at work all the time. Now I am repulsed by the smell of most of our office's catered weekly lunches.
how do you make them not soggy? Do you salt them at all to get the initial water out before cooking them?
You can also put them on some paper towels in a Tupperware container for a day in the fridge. I've found that heating them up in a dry skillet works better than one with oil.
I buy my zucchini noodles like an absolute sir. Homemade marinara, zucchini noodles and chicken is a delight.
zoodle them first and S&P before starting any other prep when it comes time dry heat them I've gotten to where I always add halved marnzano (sp?) tomatoes right before zoodles are finished, and always use the skillet top to pour excess fluid out of the pan before adding tomatoes.
Been really into making veggie purées lately. Last night roasted some eggplant, carrots, sweet potato, onion, bell peppers, tomato, and garlic, tossed it in the Vitamix with a drizzle of coconut milk and water.
sautéed zoodles and cherubs in rice wine and soy sauce. very good got a lot of tilapia, ahi and salmon at the house and no other meats. so I'm gonna just roll with it and do pescatarian things for a couple weeks fresh mozz on tilapia was pretty good
TBH I have no idea if this is any healthier than other alcoholic beverages but a group of hippie chicks that live at my new apt complex were drinking them at the pool and they were fucking delicious. Only ever had Kombucha at a place in Denver but it's excellent. $7 for a 24oz 8% "beer" obamanotbad.gif
also, new place didn't come with a microwave... which is actually the 2nd of the 4 places I've lived here that didnt. But I think I'm going microwave-less now. Got a good toaster oven I'm gonna roll with instead. Doing the same at the office. Pescatarian game monday-friday for 3 weeks now and feelin real good. only grain is tortillas for avocado, black bean, egg and jalapeno breakfast tacos. Grocery store has some $5 bags with 4 filets of either Salmon, Tilapia, or Mahi in them. Not bad quality considering that price. Dinner most nights is 2 filets of one of them and veggies.
We have been mircrowave free for four years now. Drives the FIL nuts, which really, made us stick the course. Really the only time it's a pain in the ass is when you want to heat up a coffee or tea. Other than that, you just get used to the time it take to warm food up on the stove or in the oven(s).
when reheating a plate of leftovers in toaster oven do you just put the plate you're gonna eat with in there if it fits or what's the protocol
no microwave here for 5+ years and don't miss it at all. its pretty easy to just heat something up in a pan or throw it on a cookie sheet in the oven. Yea, it means more dishes, but its also more counter space. you eating corn tortillas or flour tortillas? I ask because homemade corn tortillas are god-tier. super easy to make and fucking delicious when they are fresh. we bought a cast-iron teapot and we use it to re-heat tea or coffee. its contents get hot quickly and theres the added bonus that the cast iron keeps it warm for a good while if you want to have a second cup.
never attempted to make my own tortillas so it's mostly just buying some standard flour in bulk and keeping them in the office fridge :-/
We have a bunch of ceramic shit that I had no part in purchasing which is one option. Or most left overs are put in pyrex so literally out of the fridge and into the oven they go, sans lid of course. Keep in mind though, we are typically cooking for four or leftovers for the kids. I know you are not, based on another thread I enjoy "reading".
i lay down a small piece of foil. nothing will drip onto the toaster oven's burner, transfers easily to a plate, and you can easily throw it away without a mess.
same here. ceramic plates galore in my house. just pop them in the toaster oven, or a real oven and you're good to go.
Moving to a new apartment in October. Can't remember if it has a microwave or not. Would not purchase if it doesn't.
And that's all I have to say about that...other than Michael J Fox didn't sacrifice his lffe for you to shit all over the dream he created.
It's stupid easy: Step 1 - pour maize flower in a bowl Step 2 - add water till it has a doughy consistency Step 3 - tear off a piece, mash it flat, and heat it They take almost no time to cook, maybe 60 seconds a side
about 50 yards north of my apt is a side street that goes up at ~30-40% incline for a good 40-50 yards. saw a couple of people running up it the other day after work. Also has a big parking lot at the bottom for a bike shop that they were doing burpees in. either gonna start doing some of the same in the morning or wait until it's not 110* outside and do it in the afternoon. Been doing exactly zero cardio for a month now and starting to feel real winded after even the slightest bit of using energy. lifting and diet game have been on point for about 6 weeks though. down to 180-185 depending on the time of day; started at 205 after cinco de mayo weekend when relationship ended and I realized how much slobby comfort weight I had put on in 6 months. said ex came over 2 sundays ago to go get drinks and catchup, i was still just in shorts walking around my apartment. got the "damn look at you" and sexy eyes. no sex after the drinks though
so I can finally use my rolling pin that has been taking up space in my "random kitchen shit" drawer for 4 years? tight tight tight
exactly. and they're fucking delicious. little secret. with the water, add a bit of fresh squeezed lime juice. gives em a little extra pop.
