I admire your vegetarian-ish diet. A vegetarian diet is the best in my opinion. I've read a few post and noticed that the weight at which you began this post was 172 and your goal was 145. And currently you weigh 128. There's nothing wrong with that, if it's done naturally. I see youve been counting calories, nothing natural about that. I see youve been weighing your food, that's just not healthy to me. You already know what to eat. You could eat 5 lbs of vegetables (without adding salt, butter, or ranch) and that wouldn't even cause you to gain weight. Breakfast, it should be your largest meal of the day, i could cite this but i dont feel like it right now. I eat a huge breakfast, and i feel wonderful and FULL for the rest of the day. Don't become obsessed, take a vacation, literally. Also, exercise is the most natural way to lose weight, as much as your body can possibly handle, as long as you've had enough to eat. Lastly, osteoporosis, and I'm not a doc nor claim to be, but it is real. It's another silent killer, doesn't directly kill you, but if you suddenly slip a disc, sprain your ankle, dislocate your knee, or have the slightest, insignificant fall on the carpeted floor that causes your hip to fracture... You might wish you'd done something a little differently. You should question your weight loss, have you lossed fat, but gained a lot of muscle? If not you might be losing something you don't want to lose.
 
Hi Jaminjam! Thanks for visiting my journal. I don't count my calories very often anymore, only if my weight is creeping up, although I estimate I eat about 1800 to 1900/day. Similarly, I only weigh my food now if my eating plan is veering off track, or for very high-fat items like nuts or cheese. Thank you for the reminders about eating a large breakfast and monitoring osteoporosis risk.

Lunch: Black beans, pinto beans and quinoa cooked with tomatoes, collards, carrot, celery, mushrooms, onion, garlic, cayenne, nutritional yeast; coffee

Keep up the good work! Seem like you're doing great.


Hoping myself to do a Vegan diet or similar at the end of my weightloss extremely benificial. I see you're taking nutitional yeast, is that for the vitamin B12? where do you get that? I can never find a place to get it.
 
Hi DMR! Yes, the nutritional yeast if for extra B12. I eat eggs, dairy and fish, but not every day, so I sometimes add a little extra B12 in the form of nutritional yeast. And it is so good on popcorn and as a topping on soup or stew. A very nutty, earthy flavor. I get mine at a grocery store chain called Whole Foods. Do you have them in Australia? I think most health food stores would have it. You can also mail order it through amazon.com. Thank you for visiting my journal and best of luck with your journey.
