Someone said "But this diet is so extreme!" No it isn't!! Look around, how we eat now is what is extreme! What I'm proposing (and the diets I've recommended) is this:
Fruit and a healthy cereal for breakfast,
A big salad and some healthy soup or a sandwich for lunch,
A salad and some steamed veggies for dinner.
Does this sound EXTREME to you?
Remember: How WE (Americans) eat is what is extreme, and most important: unhealthy. But lots of fruits, veggies and healthy grains is how most everyone else eats! Remember, WE have the high rates of cancer and heart disease here, not to mention the obesity crisis. What we are doing currently to ourselves is what is extreme, NOT eating a plant-based diet!
Do you know they call the southeast the "Stroke Belt"? Google it if you don't believe me. So that is "normal" to those folks. Is that going to be normal for YOU? Are we so far gone that eating healthfully is inconceivable?
Do folks that eat fried animal products simply not know they are eating unhealthily? Because I've been doing my part to educate, and I encourage you to continue to fight the good fight. REMEMBER, we're doing this to be healthy, losing weight is the bonus.

ReplyDeleteThanks Jane that is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteGot on the scale this morning on a lark and noticed I've dropped almost 4 lbs.! Feels like it just fell off, because I have not yet established regular exercise.
ReplyDeleteMade vegan French toast this morning and my kid and I loved it! Just with Trader Joe's soy milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg and a loaf of whole grain bread. I let the bread soak in the milk before cooking, which gave it a very light texture, like bread pudding. A little Earth Balance and organic maple syrup and...yum!
