was it just using water to saute them? That is something I still struggle with and never can get the water quantity right.
I do find alot of the recipes are bland, especially, if a person is new to eating plant based.
I can almost taste the recipe. It sounds so good. I love eating soup and I can always sneak in any leftovers or add extra beans when needed.
Sounds like you have a solid plan now. The resistance training will likely serve you well now that you are at maintenance. Perfect time to get stronger and build that endurance. Newbie gains are the best I am always so happy when I am seeing huge weight jumps or reps the first several months.
Thanks for sharing!
I like the McDougal plan also because it lets me have more starchy foods that I feel like are "cheats" Extra potatoes or pasta... yes please. I do agree that limiting oil has been one of the main factors in my success this time also. I will probably eat more starches as I get closer to goal weight. I still got 60+ pounds to go.
Health is my main reason also even though the pandemic stress and struggles got me off plan last time.
It is hard to explain to other people but I get use to the "wetness" of whole foods and then processed junk just feel so pointless to eat because it is lacking the water and fiber.
Awesome work on maintaining your weight. Are you incorporating any exercising? Other than weight loss what health improvements have you seen?
I setup https://lemmy.world/c/wfpb and it is barren also. It was pretty cool for the two days Reddit was blacked out but now nothing.... So sad
I love the how not to die and how not to diet books. It was my first pick based solely on the large colored photos of the food on every other page. 1/2 recipe. 1/2 picture of the book.
Thank you for the kind words. Please feel free to share anything you want with the community.
You might know this but often those intense cravings are often your body saying it is needing a nutrient and is trying to convince you to feed it. You might just try eating some nuts or some fat to help make it more bearable.
