  1. I know getting a proper diagnosis before recommending a therapy is not exactly en vogue on here a lot of the time when it comes to "not losing weight fast enough" but anyway: - starting weight/BMI? - age/gender/height? - total amount of calories per day? - activity level?
  2. You could get e. g. the Zero app (for zero money ?). It has a timer and basic information.

    There are plenty of YT videos on this stuff. Maybe you want to take a look first so you don't make things worse with stretching? Foam rolling also helps a great deal! Also "Voodoo Flossing".
  4. Mung bean & edamame fettuccine with baby seal pate tomato/olive pesto/vegetable sauce and vegan parmesan. Looks absolutely gross on the picture but tastes great.

    The winter boots of cause have a thermal sole in it so the feeling of "walking barefoot" is not as extreme as it is e. g. with their ballerinas. However, when you have (chronic?) plantar fasciitis you'd have to build up slowly. Quite a few people got rid of foot problems when they switched to barefoot walking (or so they claim, hopefully it's not only a marketing lie) but you'd have to strengthen and stretch both the foot and the calves. Anyway I switched to barefoot/0 mm heel drop during my last year of med school during internship when I had to attend ward rounds and noticed often an aching lower back and/or knees and/or feet as time went on when on ward rounds. Pain went away and is gone since then.

    I love them, but "comfortable" is something completely subjective. They have very thin soles so you have to be comfortable with walking barefoot.

    A Desigual delivery arrived just today and brand new Vivobarefoots. ?
  8. Maybe women can also be MATADORs.
  9. My husband ordered a box of mixed quest bars like two years ago or so. He found at least some of them palatable (but he didn't use the word "delicious" and didn't order them again, lol). I thought they all tasted vile, like being artificial sweetener only, even though I tried the microwave trick.
  10. There is a simple rule when it comes to a protein bar: if it's delicious it can't be protein only, lol.

    You should see me in full gear, lol.
  12. Well, if your neighbors are a bit stupid... it might work, lol.
  13. Ok, so you've avoided bread for quite a bit of time even though you obviously like it and now you're wondering why you're craving bread like crazy. Now that makes me wonder...
  14. summerset replied to sillykitty's topic in The Lounge
    Oh, which ones?

    I have truckloads of these tube shaped things you can either wear as a scarf, a cap or as some kind of headscarf.
  16. Maybe I should add that this is a no-bake thing. Just shape into balls, refrigerate for a while and coat with the chocolate. If you're looking for peanut butter cups (like in Reese's?) you'll be majorly disappointed. They taste good but like dense and gooey cake bites.
  17. The original recipe is from a UK fitness magazine: 2 cups natural peanut butter 0.5 cup agave nectar 2.5 scoops vanilla protein sea salt to taste a bit of water 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 cups of 70% or more cocoa dark chocolate (I used maybe a bit more than 1 cup and it was definitely enough to coat them) --- I used date sugar and vanilla flavor drops in lack of the original ingredients and had to use a bit of almond butter because I didn't have enough peanut butter at home but want to try the original recipe soon. They look definitely different in the magazine. More a bit like ball-shaped peanut butter cups while mine look more like cake bites. Maybe I used too much water.
  18. So the real problem here is the mental/psychiatric issue that went untreated and not WLS itself. And yes, mental diseases can destroy families.
  19. ROFL. You're looking at red bell pepper and carrot bread. One slice with vegan apple/onion Leberwurst and the other with mustard and vegan Fleischwurst.
  20. None. I have side effects but they were all mentioned.
  21. Yes, I already took two bites, lol.
