Someone wrote in asking what an endocrinologist would do for her. She is on two meds plus insulin and can't control her diabetes. Remembering xring's comments about the huge amount of money he spent on an endocrinologist with no results, I suggested she switch to a plant based diet and look up McDougall and Fuhrman on the net ( I forgot Esselstyn). Once again it never got through. And people say McDougallers don't listen to any other opinionl.

Fuhrman can be a bit confusing. Firstly, many people believe Fuhrman is against eating starches. His Eat to Live book is a six week plan for rapid weight loss. I have heard him say he eats plenty of starches himself but he doesn't need to lose weight. McDougall's maximum weight loss plan is an awful lot like Fuhrman's six week plan in that he recommends less fruit and more green and yellow vegetables while reducing starches a bit. I suspect that Fuhrman's Lifetime plan and McDougall's Maximum weight loss plan are very similar but Fuhrman's plan seems even less strict than McDougall's in that he allows some animal protein and dairy in the 10 per cent of the plan that allows other foods.

Is this something a diabetic should eat? Or anyone who is trying to stay heart healthy and lose weight. I do not think esselstyn or McDougall would approve of this dressing. It might even be too much fat for Fuhrman.
I was thinking of using one fourth of the almond butter and adding to the food processor instead, a couple of nectarines or apples. Would you use water instead of the coconut water because of the 252 mg of sodium?

A big selling point of some jams and preserves is that certain brands use no cane sugar. What they do use is concentrated grape juice or some other juice and it is advertised as pure fruit preserves. It seems to me that this would be worse for you than jams and preserves made with sugar which is only half fructose. Any opinions? My grandchildren are big peanut butter and jelly eaters.
