I don't want a pickle.
I just want to ride on my motorcycle
Funniest shit I ever saw..
Edit: autocorrect screwed me.
For me I found that I need summer levels of vitamin D, so when for September to April take 40000 IU per day. For me I took 2-3 months to get out of power saving mode. In the summer I try to be a long as I can sun without getting sunburn without sunscreen, midday.
Then I do intermittent fasting only eating dinner.
This has led me to losing 250g per day.

It is somewhat simple, and I know some people live in "food deserts"; but really if you couldn't get it 500 years ago, it is probably not good for you.
Eat simple foods, with few steps from identifiable grown thing (veg, fruit, animal, fish) to what ends up on your plate.
This is not as easy as that, people don't know how to cook well or don't have access to good quality foods.
74%? That's actually lower than I thought
Fruits and veggies are great for gut biome and the fiber helps keep you moving, but there is such a thing as too much bowel movement.
TBH, the best weightloss options are actually a liquid supplement diet, the kind that come in bins of powder with a plastic scoop inside and PROTEIN written across the front. Most of them are meal replacers, and some of them are also low calorie.
If you stick to a vegan diet expecting to lose weight you'll usually fall into the trap of a high carb diet instead.
I'm vegan and struggling with my weight for a while, bought a Huel subscription and it is really helping. I'll get my measured out meal, then fill up on water and tea, but the shakes by themselves are surprisingly filling.
Portion control had been my biggest struggle. It's easier to say no to another meal shake than getting seconds of something else, and the shakes do taste good. Well, the chocolate does, the Vanilla is... not amazing.
I'm also keeping up on it more cause I don't want the hassle of modifying the order.
The other big thing that keeps me at it is weighing myself every day and logging it in a health app.
This next statement is off topic a bit, but I bought a Muscle Milk Strawberry powder once and it was just bland vanilla with little tiny bits of occasional strawberry. 0/10
I'll sometimes try protein shakes when I see vegan ones I don't recognize at the store. I've had a few very bad ones. Most fall into that "well, it tastes decent for a protein shake I suppose."
Sometimes I add some cinnamon amd a tiny bit of ground cloves and ginger, turns just about any bland protein drink into a spice cake flavor.
I feel like protein mixes are trying to be flavored like dairy products when instead they should try to be flavored like eccentric tea and coffee house beverages.
