Heck yeah, good work my friend.

 

I'm a big fan of Tru-Tein.

Their artificially sweetened ones are too sweet for me so I go with the lightly sweetened regular sugar ones. I'm diabetic and it's an OK amount of sugar. Plus I like to eat as Chem-Free as possible. When you are taking protein powder and mixing it with some milk, you are already getting a lot of chems so why add more in the for of saccharin or aspartame?

 

I don't come in there too often, I guess I should visit more frequently!

I checked out that subreddit - full of great ideas!

I have been doing this kinda on my own lately - eating tons of veg/fruit and making them more of my meals; or I have to eat fruit before I can have dessert [if i still want it] kinda thing

I also started eating more potatoes - cause they fill me up and tossing them in the air fryer covered in olive oil is probably way better than other stuff

I don't weigh myself but I can notice that prioritizing the vegetables and eating lots of them has started to pay off

 

Thanks!

 

There's some great ideas, and some absolutely terrible ideas

… If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?

I do instant pot - chuck them in, 20-25 minutes (depending on size, the BJ's up the road has some humungo russet potatoes, but "normal size" potatoes about 25 minutes), with some water in the bottom to make pressure. Baked potatoes in 25 minutes. I do a whole bin full and keep 'em in the fridge. I cut them in half, some oil to hold stuff, then seasoning/season salt.

Morton Season All has been a favorite - throw that on them, throw them in the toaster oven to heat up with dinner, munch munch.

Whatever works. I'm using weight because it's super easy to grab my weight. I have a tape and could be doing thigh/waist measurements instead, too. But I'm an average build Joe Schmo, so weight is as good as any

 

Yes there are some horrible ideas there - the vegetable/yogurt concoction was

I like the potato idea - how long can you keep em in the fridge post cooking?

I don't weigh myself b/c I get all obsessed over the number
I also used to be super [unhealthy] skinny - now I weigh like 50# more - that number freaks me out for whatever reason, despite knowing i was grossly underweight prior

Lunch today: falafel, Israeli salad, pita, air fried cauliflower
Yummy, filling and light

 

Thanks brother!
