Almond Butter? Brown bread? Pasta? Some guidance required!

2016-02-14T00:41:10.000Z

Hello everyone! Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm trying out a HCLF vegan lifestyle, and I'm excited to start the journey, but I'm confused about a few things!

Firstly- Almond butter- yes or no? I usually have it on brown bread, which leads me to my next question- is brown bread good or not so much?

And pasta- I bought some gluten free pasta today, is that the best pasta I can be eating on this lifestyle?

I also eat granola and porridge (with almond milk), the granola has sugar added and the porridge sometimes does too, depending on what flavour I choose, any advice on this? Are these foods recommended or should I cut back? What's the deal with refined sugar- a no go or not as bad as people think?

Thank you to anyone who takes time out to give me some much needed guidance and advice! You have my utmost gratitude!

Bread, Rice or Potatoes—What is Best When You Cannot Afford 100% LFRV?

2015-01-23T18:08:10.000Z

What would be best to eat if you cannot afford to do 100% LFRV? Bread, rice or potatoes? Can these foods be ranked? What are the best kinds of these foods to eat, if you have to?

Some questions about the guidelines to being raw

2013-11-27T03:17:14.000Z

Hey guys,

I have a couple questions and I'd like to get the point of view of some different individuals.

1. How important is it to have mono-meals?

2. How much water do you drink?

3. Is it bad to eat fruit late at night?

4. What is your fruit to veggie ratio on a daily basis?

5. If you are eating cooked carbs, is eating stuff like quinoa and millet ok? I try to avoid bread at all costs...

I would say that I'm 80% raw on average daily. I live on campus and have to use the meal plan so I end up eating cooked food sometimes. I also find it hard to avoid fat because I feel like there's so much hidden oil in things... Like tabouli salad! I could eat that ALL day but I feel like theres quite a bit of oil in there..

I'm feeling great. I'm coming to terms with my body and choosing health and happiness over skinny and so I think this is going very well.

anyways. any advice would be awesome! And any other tips would be great!

WHY THE §%=?*#€ DO SO MANY PEOPLE OVERRATE BREAD???!!! ARRRGGGH!!!!

So, here's the thing.

A wrote a long-time acquaintance of mine, whom I haven't written to for a couple of months. He knew the whole time that I was vegan - and even then I didn't eat bread. When I sent him links to explain my new 811-lfrv lifestyle, he gave a brainless response, which I hadn't expected from him, even though he's SAD (but was always open and tolerant of veganism).

His response: "What do you eat then??? Does that mean you don't eat bread????!!!!"

How would you respond to something like that? I want to be honest and let him know I find that response (the tone) rude and narrow-minded, even though I know he wouldn't attack me on purpose. But I don't want to create friction, especially because we've never fought.

I also want to/will nicely remind him that it also means I don't want him to send me nuts anymore. He's always sent me nuts for Christmas, which even then I ended up giving to friends instead (without telling him). At least he knew/respected that I don't consume salt.

i CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE, and i need help!

my parents are threatening to control what i eat out of the fear that i have an "eating disorder" even though i eat 2-3k calories a day, which is a ton for someone my size (5'3")
my dad is a mcdougall supporter, and has an obsession with whole grain. all the time, it's all i hear - "you need more whole grain, whole grain, blah blah EAT YOUR BREAD"

of course i don't.
i need articles that talk about why grains are bad for you and how fruit does not spike blood sugar any more than bread does, and i can find plenty online, but not from reliable sources.

if i don't get some info to fire back at him, i'll be forced to eat oatmeal at breakfast, tofu sandwiches for lunch, and rice and beans at dinner.
i'm gonna cry. someone help me out of this.

Bananas versus meat

2011-12-11T19:12:33.000Z

I have a question which seems so strange for this forum.

I had a discussion with my SAD-husband. He said he loves ALL the life on the earth so for him there is NO difference between eating a pig or a banana.

I said to him I know the difference if I step on the head of a pig or on a banana (this sentence from durianrider).

Oh yes? Proof me a banana does not feel something when you are eating it! Excuse me!? How the hell I can proof that nonsence? Even if I never can talk to that banana I KNOW it wants that I eat it! But how can I proof the banana does not feel anything?

Or when I tell him not to give bread to our little child (3 years) but he does not want to hear about it. In the morning I put as much fruit in that little girl (if she wants ofcourse) but when he gets up than it is breadparty.

Can anybody give me very good (scientific) evidence, information, … that bread is dead? To blow his mind out of his skull? So he has to believe me.

I have no problem not eating fats, but I am having trouble stopping myself from eating bread--even when I am full from fruits? Any suggestions?

25 bananas a day with dates and 800g of Bread Whole Wheat - It's like i have an eating disorder - Why?

2011-04-23T23:33:28.000Z

Hi,

I fed up in one way because i like the 811 diet lfrv diet, but it's like i can't follow it more than 2 or 3 days and the dinner is always the worst part.

many of you here said it's a lack of calories then i started to increase my calories with sweet fruits like nanas & dates ...but even with 20-25 bananas a day more date and a green smoothie for breakfast - sometimes like today i've got a strong desire for organic whole bread to make sandwiches with raw veggies...and in one meal got 2 breads ( around 800g )...that's mean around 4100kcal today - for now my activity is low - then i'm a bit surprised - i don't really understand why sometimes i eat so much ?

I'm pretty sure i'm doing something wrong because it's not really normal to eat 800g of bread mean 4 big sandwiches in one sitting...and the worst thing is i stopped to eat bread since 2 years - so why this desire now?

I could say it's a lack of calories but really i don't feel i need 4kcal - it's already hard to get 3kaday and if yes it's so big that i don't know how to do it -

If you have some experiences of something similar i would like to know your tips to succeed...

since few days now i stopped grains : rice, millet & quinoa, it was my bigger challenge then maybe it's related...

thank you

Mike
