@AmberFLThe cocoa bean cereal can be a sweet treat if you add sweeteness. I have kind of strange tastes so I'll usually have something sweet on the side and keep the chocolate bean thing savory-salty in flavor profile.

I'm a bit new to electrolyte powders so if some of you with more experience could give some pointers learned from professionals and/or personal experience, it would be awesome 😊

@Arabesque 👏

Hey, @JennyBeez Awesome topic: I would avoid egg white powder. It's very high in methionine, which in convincing model organism studies, has been shown to promote aging and reduce both life & healthspan. I suggest avoiding egg white protein specifically and if possible focusing on plant-based proteins, which are relatively low in methionine & isoleucine, another amino acid with evidence suggesting a pro-aging effect. Plant-based proteins can be absorbed similarly to animal based proteins if refined sufficiently, eg as concentrates or isolates *I am currently earning my PhD (have earned multiple scholarships) and hold a BS in Biology from MIT

Hey, Everyone, Something that I've learned as a PhD studying the human gut microbiome and someone with a a sensitive stomach is that fermented protein powder, no matter what the variety, is far more digestable, tolerable, and adsorbable than nonfermented protein powder. Just to put that out there!

@JennyBeezI'm glad you're feeling better. Your effort is amazing. Hugs! 🤗

@Theia103121LENTILS!!! Oh my goodness beyond versitile and as a plant-based eater of >5 years, this year I don't think I've went more than 2 weeks in a row without a lentil dish (and usually they're eat on repeat!!)

This may sound horrible but I like cooked beans with some buckwheat flour (heat-treated), almondbutter, milk, cocoa powder and salt. It is oddly addictive and satisfying while being just simple whole foods!

@AmberFLI think you look great and great work!!! 👏

Hey! That sounds like a really frustrating problem @SleeveToBypass2023 I actually have dealt with a similar issue in the past. I have to track my calories to prevent losing too much weight. One suggestion I have if it doesn't end up being a calories issue is to plug everything you're eating into cronometerto have a look on if any nutrients are lacking as insufficiency or deficiency can affect metabolism in cases. Cronometer isn't 100% accurate here but you can independently validate any nutrients of concern. Good luck and I'm rooting for you!

I count calories and it's worked great for me! I just do it on an excel sheet with grams and calories (old school but the easiest way I've found)

@BariatricBunnyBabeCan you please share the recipe? I'm keeping an eye out for handy, yummy vegetarian recipes and this one looks great 😊

Calling everyone with an upcoming MGB this year or early next to say hi! 👋 Feel free to share your story and as much (or as little) about yourself as you'd like 😊

Anyone out there have favorites? 😊 I've been liking Bhu though supposedly most people don't 😆 Also enjoying Belliwelli, Thunderbird bar and Undercover snacks but...I know there's gotta be healthier yummy stuff out there 👀

Please see title! Looking for something cute comfy and ADJUSTABLE so that I can hopefully keep around a bit despite weight changes ☺️👙
