The only things that I eat are oatmeal, applesauce, toast & jelly, fruit and vegetables. I have had to cut out more & more because I gain weight so easily. I am still not losing weight; in fact I feel pretty bloated often. Most people would lose weight on my diet but not me. I live in the city so I am walking a lot. But I can’t seem to lose weight. What can I do?

I’ve learned that setting one-month plans works better for me verses one permanent plan. For the month of March I’m planning a diet plan where I eat fruit and vegetables (in any form, no added sugar) for two meals a day. I can add salad dressing (typically Good Seasonings), or a bit of oil, salt, pepper, etc to them. I can also have nuts and seeds (such as sunflower seeds in salads). For the third meal, I’m allowed a reasonable meal… such as 3 oz. of chicken with some seasoning or a veggie burger, half a cup of brown rice with salt and pepper, and more vegetables. Dessert is ALWAYS fruit.

As far as drinks go, I can have water, vanilla soy milk (with my one non-veggie meal), tea (unsweetened, iced or hot… I’m allowing myself unsweetened peach iced tea from Dunkin Donuts as a treat).

This will only last for a month. Afterwards, I will start allowing myself occasional treats for special occasions. I may also include "fast days" where I eat nothing but fruits and veggies… no oil, nuts, seeds, or anything other than salt and pepper may be added.

I will mention that I will be eating a variety of fruits and veggies including (but not limited to):
-Carrots
-Broccoli
-Cauliflower
-Edamame
-Apples
-Strawberries
-Peaches
-Pears
-Grapes
-Oranges/Clementines
-Cucumbers
-Pickles (half-sour)
-Black Olives
-Tomatoes (in chili)
-Onions
-Legumes
-Celery

I am also going to be eliminating fried food, white flour products, etc. Protein and fiber are main focuses. I will be including a daily multivitamin in my routine.

Does this sound like an effective plan? Is it safe?

I bought this but don’t like using it as a drink with water or as a smoothie. I’d like some advice
this is an organic powder made from real fruit and vegetables, it is supposed to be mixed with water but i thought it would be fun to do something interesting with it. Mine is bought from trader joes but i actually saw it at whole foods and bristol farms.

like you wont get enough nutrients just from fruit and vegetables i heard so what else do you eat to get all the nutrients? i heart like nuts? but what kind or what is it?
