Hello Laura,

I used to eat processed foods, junk food and lots of meat. My doctor has been telling me for years that I was obese and needed to lose weight. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes which means I needed to take medication daily. I disdain having to take pills so I asked my doctor what I needed to do to get off the meds. He told me to cut out foods with starch such as rice, potatoes, white bread and fruit drinks. He stated that I should exercise as well. I stopped eating red meat. I baked chicken or fish with lemon, olive oil, garlic, jalapenos, etc. I would have oatmeal for breakfast or yogurt. I have a Facebook account and was surfing around for vegetarian recipes and I came across a person named Durianrider. He is a cyclist, a marathon runner and a vegan. I was fascinated by his diet. He based his diet on a book called 80/10/10 by Dr. Douglas Graham. It is primarily a fruit based diet and you do not have to calorie restrict. I was very interested in this as I was always hungry. I have been vegan over two months. First month was a struggle as I craved dairy and meat products all the time. Now I have very few if any cravings. I have not slipped yet. I do eat a cooked vegan meal from time to time. I do not take any supplements. I mix flax seed in my smoothie or oatmeal for protein and I drink a cup of almond milk each day. You will find that fruits and veggies have all the nutrients our bodies need. I will be getting another blood test in the next month or so to make sure all my levels are in the normal range and will post it. For breakfast I blend 6 bananas, 12 noor dates, 1 cup blueberries, 2 tbs flax seed and 8 ice cubes. Sometimes I will add a handful of spinach. For lunch I will repeat the breakfast smoothie minus the flax seed or I will eat a watermelon. Sometimes I will cook a Don Lee Farms veggie patty from costco and wrap it in a wheat tortilla with 2 tbs of salsa. Dinner I make a salad with spinach, arugula, celery, tomato, cucumber, garbonzo beans and 2 tbs of newmans light balsamic dressing or I will make my own. I also drink a lot of water. Close to a gallon per day. I squeeze a lime in my water for flavor. This is not all inclusive but it is my main food staple. I also exercise, walk, jog, lift weights and stretch. I can actually touch my toes now!! oh by the way Costco sells Edamame beans ( not sure if I spelled it correctly) but they sure do a great job of curbing your cravings. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need any more info.View Thread
