• As I keep mentioning to other people who want to lose weight, worry first about increasing the amount of healthy foods you're eating. Pack in the fruits and greens and veggies and drink lots of water. Then when you feel comfortable that feeding your…

• Snacks, snacks, snacks! When people around you are chowing down micro popcorn and cheetos, it's good to have trail mixes, sunflower seeds, grapes, raisins, etc. around.

• I can only speak personally, but I eat the way I do because I want to minimize suffering for other earthlings. It's not about me, my body, my health, my weight, or how I express love for myself. It's not about me all the time. I try to remove the eg…

• I use both, depending on what I'm making. The powder is usually better for desserts, but for a chocolate smoothie sometimes I want a little texture, so I'll use maybe 3:1 powder to nibs.

• Once again you and I are on the same wavelength, Rawcanadian. I try for low protein to reduce the risk of various protein-related diseases, and I've never heard whether plant protein has the same impact.

• How much is in the recipe? Sub another oil if you have any. Don't sub an acidic like lemon. If all else fails, water.

• Certainly stress is a major factor, but is he saying he ate like cr@p until he was 58, when he went "mostly" vegetarian? It is highly treatable. I wish him well.

• Well, you're talking about just over 2 pounds a week, so that's do-able. I have read that excercise is much less important than diet if you're talking primarily about dropping pounds, which I have seen to be true based on anecdotal evidence. Are you…

• I think it's stale too, because I don't have this problem. Once it becomes wet it's very soggy/chewy and I find it hard to choke down, personally. With some pates and fillings, it's unavoidable that the nori gets damp, but many restaurants lay down …

• I am using the green bags but I'm not as in love with them as Ericaswfs...or my mom, who also LOVES them. The two things I really wanted them for - tomato and lemons - don't seem to work as intended. I will say that our produce used to be very short…

• It's great for cleansing/detox too. I'm not sure the powdered stuff in the spice aisle will have the same effect of the raw root (available in Asian/Indian markets). Add to juice, slice thin and drink in tea, or dice it up and add to meals.

• I think it's smart to lean into it slowly if you are not currently vegan or even vegetarian. Just that is a big transition for most people. When you feel confident that you can feed yourself, you can think about issues like fats or fruits or food co…
