Calories !!?!?! I'm nervous.. I need to lose weight..

2015-08-20T03:35:14.000Z

I hope you can help me, I'm actually trying since a few weeks ago joining this crudi-vegan world because, I have loved everything but I have a strong doubt, I have seen your lost weight cases. I need to do the same, I don't want to do just for my weight, much motivates me lifestyle, healing and harmony in love with other beings, so I'm basically a cerebral crossroads, and it is difficult to convince yourself of something when you have so many versions hovering head and indeed,I can't understand how the calories don't affect, I'm not a mega athlete or anything like that in fact my lifestyle is something sedentary and with such a high consumption in carbohydrates that will provide me many calories I wonder if there will be to accumulate as fat all you do not use, because it really is how it works, our biochemistry of assimilation and energy consumption that does not is using the day ends up being stored as fat, until where I Know.

Of course I appreciate your help. if I light up a bit with your experience, many thanks

Why I initially gained 60 lbs on the High Carb Vegan Diet

2015-05-14T22:01:43.000Z

Hey everyone!

I'm starting this discussion because I feel it is important to share what can happen and WHY if you come to this unlimited calorie/carbohydrate lifestyle after years and years worth of dieting and calorie restriction (aka metabolic damage), like myself! I came to this lifestyle in March 2012 after yo-yo dieting, calorie/carb restricting, fasting, taking stimulants and laxatives, smoking, drinking alcohol, binge/purging, and overexercising since 2006. My health was suffering severely (anorexia symptoms, digestive disorder, hormonal imbalances), so within one year of following this diet and lifestyle my weight went from an anorexic 120 lbs to a slightly overweight 185 lbs (I'm 5'11"), whilst experiencing immediate improvements in my digestion, hormones, sleep, skin, mental state, and overall health. I just published a very detailed blog post all about my experience here: http://www.nutritionbyvictoria.com/blog/why-i-initially-gained-60-lbs-on-a-high-carb-vegan-diet

I hope that you find the blog post helpful for your recovery if you are experiencing weight gain on this diet. Just know that it's NOT permanent! By sticking to the high carb low fat, unlimited calorie diet and lifestyle (sufficient sleep, water, exercise) you will recover the FASTEST, heal the QUICKEST, and experience weight loss EFFORTLESSLY once your body is ready to target the excess weight (after healing is complete). Initially, weight gain is absolutely necessary in order to turn the wheels of the healing cascade. My weight plateaued after the 1st year, and remained within 5-10 lbs of that weight gain after 2 years. After year 2, my weight started to shift downward, permanently. I've now lost a total of 30 lbs since coming to this lifestyle back in March 2012, and I'm experiencing the best health of my life!

Thank you so much for reading and feel free to leave me any comments/questions!

How body burns fat when you are carbed up?

2014-07-17T17:45:19.000Z

Hello!

I have a question what somebody asked me and i realised i dont know the right answer to this. Maybe you can help me out? :). How do you lose fat, when you are fully carbed up and you have plenty of fuel to use for exercising, daily activities and so on. How does the body starts to use the unnecessary fat? I was told that you need to deplete your glucose stores in order to start burning fat for fuel?

Thank you!

Amazing bowel movements weight lose!!

2014-02-15T05:43:31.000Z

It's been 3 days on this diet! And I feel gréât! The funny thing is that I'm having more bowel movements then I had before. I'm glade that I am having the bowel movements it just means that tmy body is getting red of toxins!

But the only thing that kinda worried me is that I weight my self and I lose a pound! I was expecting to gain weight? Has anyone had this before me? Like losing weight within 3 days on eating 2000 to 2800 calories a day?

Still working on eating 3000 calories!

For people who gained weight then lost it: how long?

2013-10-22T08:43:09.000Z

I know, it's health first. But we're all vain. I haven't gained weight so far being on this lifestyle, I've actually lost a few pounds, but I am curious. For anyone out there who did gain weight doing this for the first year or two or however long, when it came off how fast was it? Was it a gradual thing, did it happen quickly? I'm extremely curious. You see before and afters but no one talks much about specific events at specific times (I was "x" weight for a while, then gained 6 months in, then lost it all in "x" amount of time).

Eat Meat, Smoke, and drink booze- a great way to lose a stone in 4 weeks?

2012-03-15T18:22:15.000Z

Following a conversation with a friend of mine who was very chuffed that she'd lost a stone in 4 weeks following 'slimming world', I have been feeling really p****d off.

I am tying to lose weight by eating the obvious, but feel my progress is slow. As my husband says; Slimming clubs get people to lose weight temporarily, and that means they get repeat business. I admit that I am a little jealous, but I can't understand how it is possible to lose weight when my friend is so unhealthy.

She saw all my bananas and said that she has to cut down on them because they have too much sugar, but prefers to replace her sugary drinks with aspartame sugar free ones- I don't get it!

Feeling very low today....................in the fruit I must TRUST.

Tim Van Orden Interview (Time Sensitive) EDIT

2011-04-11T21:37:04.000Z

(update)

Just watched the Day 1 episode full segment on Nison's site.

My fave line: "There is no Raw Food Movement without movement!" Booya, Timmy!

Now for the disclaimer--some of the statements made are contrary to the guidelines of 30B, specifically regarding caloric intake. Please bear this discriminatingly in mind when viewing.

That said, Tim has been an inspiration to me for years, particularly because of his tremendous drive (and resultant successes) athletically.

Anyone who's winning against the best in the world in vertical running sports, on a whole foods, plant-based, ultra high-raw diet, has earned at least my ear :)

(original)

For non-subscribers, Nison loads the interview episodically over multiple days, each one available for one day only. Looks like Part 1 is available today...

(this is just a sample Nison compiled; we must enable free subscription per his description to view segments uncut over the next few days)

Dr. Graham on losing weight

iPhone and iPod Owners - Get "Lose It"

2009-09-16T03:31:57.000Z

Just a note to say that I've been using an app called LOSE IT. It's free (yay) and it's a great way to track your food intake and exercise output. Once you set up a goal weight, it figures out your base calories (which you can adjust however you like) for the day. You just log your food and exercise, and it keeps track of your calories for the day. The best part is you can set it up to look at nutrition facts and see your percentages for the day and the week. PERFECT!You can search for foods in the database or add your own, the same with exercises. It's cool to see all the pretty fruit and veggie icons as your list of food for the day. Plus, I love when I run 5 miles and see the calories left for the day that I can eat increase!! So just the simple act of logging my stuff makes me more conscious and therefore more motivated. It really is true, the the act of observation affects what's being observed...The database for nutrition facts comes from "eshadata". However, since you can enter your own amounts if you use nutridiary or some other database, you can be as precise as you want.I haven't used nutridiary, so I don't know how it compares. But I like how I can just pull out my iPod wherever I am and keep track. Plus there's a great graph plotted as you lose weight. GREAT feedback!My friend (SAD) turned me on to it, he lost 20lbs. I've lost 1 but I've only been using it 5 days, and I really don't have much to lose. The cool part is I got the app in March and logged my weight, but just now started actually using it. So the chart showed a significant weight loss (for me) and that was exciting.Even if you're not trying to lose weight, it's a great way to track your percentages...Of course a pen and paper works too...this is just more fun..Vicky

Changes

2009-08-23T15:55:27.000Z

People are always asking how to change old habits, use many excuses not to finish with an addiction, lose weight, stop drinking, stop smoking, gossiping, and will postpone the day of change.Until one day, life, through pain (which is the warning of the Divine that dwells in us), come and decide: or changes, or changes!And so, faced with suffering, a person begins a slow change, or let himself be dragged by the current, determining its own end.Reading Tolstoy, leave this passage to our personal analysis:"It seldom happens that a man changes his life through his habitual reasoning. No matter how fully he may sense the new plans and aims revealed to him by reason, he continues to plod along in old paths until his life becomes frustrating and unbearable - he finally makes the change only when his usual life can no longer be tolerated."(Leo Toltoy)
