[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you get the right kind of peanut butter it does not have sugar in it.

And while the eat mostly plants, not too much, blah blah blah is a cute little saying if you exercise rigorously at all and follow it you will be absolutely starving about thirty minutes after you eat. Some of this advice is just so unrealistic. You cannot eat mostly plants and not be extremely hungry especially if you are at all active. [/quote]

I am very active, eat mostly plants, and I am not "extremely hungry." [/quote]

Same. I thought the same as the poster you quoted until my wife converted me to a very plant forward diet. I still eat animal protein (chicken and fish) and a TON of Greek yogurt, but I’ve had a lot of success maintaining my weight (not losing) even at a very high volume and intensity. During build weeks for middle distance triathlon I’m at 14-18 hours of swim, bike, run, and strength. I work 10 hours a day, and have more energy than everybody around me my age (early 40s).

It means a lot of content moving through the system so to speak, which is annoying at times, but it works for me. I’ve also stayed injury free (knocks on wood). My recovery and sleep year are much better - I put half of that down to the food I’m eating.
