Hi,

June fourth I started a new diet based on the book by
Joel Fuhrman, M.D. Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss.
http://www.drfuhrman.com/weightloss/about.aspx

He is a strict vegan.

He says for the first six weeks to eat
I. 2 huge salads each day -- eat at least a head of Romaine lettuce or similar green each day
II. At least 4 fresh fruits a day
III. Limited grains and starches of no more than one serving a day
IV. A cup or more of beans or lentils each day
V. No more than an ounce of uncooked nuts a day.
VI. Absolutely no animal products (Milk, cheese, eggs, and fish are off limits.)
VII. Flax seed
VIII. Mushrooms (good meat replacement because of texture and good helpful plant chemicals)
IX. cooked and uncooked low calorie veggies like broccoli


On top of this vegan diet, I am also eating 98% Wheat Free / Gluten free.


My goal is to loose weight and to feel better. I also hope that my body responds in good ways.

So far I feel a little more clear headed.
(It would help if I followed the plan a little more closely.) lol

Hubby is helping with the cooking.
