My doctor wanted me to try the eat to live diet. Started it today and lost 2lbs. I feel good so far hungry still but not sure what I can snack on so been snacking on celery and carrots. Making a quinoa salad first time ever had it so this should be interesting. lol Anyone have any recipes or know where I can get some vegetarian recipes? I have alot to loose so the 2 lbs loss is not a bad thing very good very very good. lol

    it is a diet or should I say way of life where you don't eat meat or dairy and only veggies and fruit but you can have as much as you want. It is by Dr. Joel Fuhrman.

    If you lost 2 pounds in one day its water weight. Not saying that all you'll lose is water, but 2 pounds in one day is definitely water.
    As for recipes, you can find quite a few through google.
    The recipes on this site are probably MOSTLY compatible with your diet:

    I do have alot of water to loose and expect that is what will come off first but I am pretty excited about the 2 lb loss. Thank you for the websites I will check them out :)

    I would check out www.ohsheglows.com
    tons of vegan food and quite good. I love meat but go to this site for my meatless days, lots of high protein things

    Search out the Groups here on MFP. At least one is specific to Eat to Live.

    Head to the library and see what cookbooks are available that you can check out. I love my copy of Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. The internet will keep you supplied with endless recipes - type vegetable name + recipe into your favorite search engine and watch the magic unfold.

    I've been doing Eat to Live for a little over a month and have lost about 7 pounds and a dress size. It really amazes me how making a lifestyle change like that can make such a huge difference. Dr. Fuhrman has an Eat to Live cook book which is very helpful.

    That is awesome. I have been on this since Monday and dropped 9 lbs so far. I have alot to loose so it is all good. I am going to pick up the cook book so I can have other ideas other than stir fry every night. lol
