Youfood and Twogrand

[hazelrah]

I lost my cell phone in late August and was just able to replace it last week. In August I started using Twogrand, but now it seems Youfood is the app formerly known as twogrand. Does anybody have any background/opinions on the change. The app was helping me be a bit more mindful of my cheating so I was looking forward to returning to it.

Thanks for any info.

I had success with Twogrand and remember getting a notice the name was changing, but about that time I pretty much was back on track. I had stopped using it. I must have deleted the app from my iPhone as I don't see it there anymore. It had a great format I would be surprised if they changed it too much. It as the boards resonate success:)

Aloha, patty

Looks similar but every change to IOS ends up giving my fingers cramps, so I'll see how it goes. I'm past ( meaning on the right side of) obese and trying to make the last push to normal gets tougher with each pound, so anything that helps,...

Mahalo!

I've been using it for a while now and I find it really helpful. The name change didn't really change a lot. There are a few new things, a little rearrangement of others but nothing earth-shattering. I like the changes, unlike most "new & improved" things, they really do seem to be an improvement. Look me up....veggieluvr45.

Thanks, Sandi. I can't get the app to run right now, but I think I may already be following you from twogrand. If not I'll set that up tonight.

Thanks again.

I post under Katydid56. Change in app name really didn't affect that much. They just added an extra tap to look at other peoples food porn. The app was helpful in my losing 15 pounds I gained after an ankle injury. I have to judge food now (with apologies to Seinfeld) as whether it is "picture-worthy" before I decide to eat it.

Yeah, Kate, I was definitely following you on the app in August. That, "picture-worthy," comment is exactly what I was referring to when I said it was helping me control my cheating. I hope it helps as much this time around. I need all the help I can get.

Thanks for your comments!

I re-downloaded the site with the Youfood app, and my food history pictures were there. I didn't really look for the differences in the site, as for myself what worked in the past was seeing the dishes that I enjoyed. I found basically I made Happy Tummy's Black Bean and Potato Chile, Jeff Novick's Basic Burger.. and Pasta Salads... Vegan Pizza. And towards the end I was pretty much was reposting the same pictures.

I still have the 20 lbs, that I regained a couple of years ago, still to lose. I know how to lose it, I am just not willing to as yet. I am not sure how important it is. I practice HALt, don't get too Hungry, Angry, Lonely and Tired. My food has been really clean, the other night while working I found myself really tired and I ate some salted nuts that were available. Nuts and Chocolate are my two triggers, so the next morning I made microwave mug cake.. 4 T of flour, 2 T sugar, 1 T cocoa, 4 frozen cherries and water. To counteract any temptation of the trigger of outside chocolate. To counter act the salted nuts, I made microwave potato chips with vinegar and salt to rekindle the memory that I too have that food covered.

Living and eating alone it is very easy to only have foods in the house that are on plan. Addiction is a thinking disease. So it is constantly rethinking yourself out of it and that is why preparation works. The mind thinks in pictures and that is where Youfood helps. Me is the ultimate addiction, and it is about the "Me" collapsing over and over. Humiliation works because it reminds you that you are a Nobody:) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross identified the 5 stages of death: denial, bargaining, anger, depression and acceptance. That is why anger at the medical system works, because it brings into alignment to the stages of death where we are powerless. The oxymoron is there is a tremendous amount of power in that. We are revitalized to be open minded and teachable. We have been acculturated to trust doctors. They aren't Gods, they are tradespeople with that awareness our bargaining skills increase. This being a body, mind and social disease we are constantly putting principles before personalities as dealing with life on it's term's it is knowing the difference between cash register honesty and emotional honesty. That is why HALT works. As with self awareness it is a self-correcting universe as self-care is the best care. it is to keep seeing the larger picture where the new currency is we are the food as I am you:)

That's odd Patty. What worked for me ( and I'm hopeful will work again now) is the accountability of having to post a picture before eating anything, similar to what Kate was expressing. It seems very ego driven to me.

So we have a lot in common; The nuts, the chocolate, and I, too have 20 pounds of overweight. ( Okay, maybe yours isn't overweight, but it's still 20 pounds.) Of course mine is not the same 20 I lost. Well, maybe. I guess I lost this 20 pounds about 25 years ago when I was running 4 marathons a year resulting in the 4 or 5 days in my life that I have not been overweight or obese, but I get the sense that you may be talking about a different 20 pounds.

That is why HALT works. As with self awareness it is a self-correcting universe as self-care is the best care. it is to keep seeing the larger picture where the new currency is we are the food as I am you:)

Sounds like a plan. The challenge is dealing with the anger and frustration of being too old to work but too poor to retire. But who knows? Maybe I'm getting there, just on a path that is slower and more circuitous than yours.

Mahalo again. And good luck with those 20 pounds.

We all spiral up:) Time and space is just a construct of the brain.

Oh I have lost over a hundred pounds.. then gained 20 back. Actually I lost a hundred twice on ETL, the first time without any support. The second time it was with the support of the forums. When I switched from Dr. Fuhrman's site and starting posting on Dr. McDougall's site I had been very close to my goal weight, which I had achieved before the first time. I have never counted calories. I didn't really understand calorie density, Jeff Novick helped me. Practicing ETL I created the volume habit of eating healthy food and new habits are just as hard to let go as the old. The challenge for myself is figuring out the satiety where vegetables are a condiment. And of course being starch based working food and money together is a given and that is when the real unrequited hunger stops.The goal is for the "Me" to retire daily to be a minimalist not only to survive but thrive. And maybe the 20 lbs help with that. I hope to work till I am 75, maybe 80:) I have Clients younger than me:)

Nora Coffey founder of H.E.R. (Hysterectomy Education Resources) was interviewed by Christine Kent from Whole Woman Inc, shares women are being hysterectomized everyday by the medical industry, not only in this country, but in countries where they have socialized medicine. So it isn't a question of money. It is power. In India the doctors go from village to village and the women are getting younger. And in this country it isn't just male doctors who practice unnecessary hysterectomies but female doctors too. In essence what Nora Coffey is saying laws have to be passed. Just as Dr. McDougall did for the women in Hawaii. They have to be informed they can have a lumpectomy, they didn't have to have a mastectomy. Someone I was sharing with about Dr. McDougall shared she had choice and chose a lumpectomy. Many women before her didn't have that choice. So know the path just isn't about a WOE in body form, it is a body, mind and social WOE.

Anger works as it points us to another direction where truth follows. We all have many wants, but our needs are always taken care of. In the Big Island of Hawaii when the volcano erupts, the power isn't the fire it is in the invisible, what makes the the grass grow from underneath the lava, where the trees and birds come back. Retirement is the illusion. Life is giving to receive. Let the universe move through you, then you can rest and dance when no one is looking:) Your family will love you all the more.

Check out Nora Coffey's even though you can't be hysterectomized:) could be much worse:) interview: https://wholewoman.com/newpages/video/coffey.html Because Nora Coffey is essence doing actually what Dr. McDougall did. And we are all supporting the principles Dr. McDougall is putting first.

Yeah, my wife is always saying I never accomplish anything until I get angry enough to want to see a change. With regards to the other; it's very strange to reach a point where retirement diminishes. I'm headed there, but I need to replace it with something at a different Chakra. I've been stuck at 3 for 40 years.

Thanks!

I still have the app on my phone, but I havent used it in quite a while. I didnt notice any significant change when the name changed, but I liked the name better when it was called twogrand because it had such a great definition behind it.
