Yesterday, I decided that I've got to get totally off processed carbs and sugars. in just 1 1/2 days, I feel so much better. That cr-- makes me emotional, depressed, and unbalance. Sure as heck wish it didn't taste so well. Here is to veggies, fresh fruit, and healthy protein. Thanks for all your ideas. (I'm walking):wink:

Wow, I must have hit a spot with a lot of people. Thank you so much for the response. I write books, yet I forget to journal when upset. I like the colorbook idea and ready a juicy book. I never take the time anymore. Thanks again. It's weird, but when life gets out of control, my feelings get stepped on, I am so…

hello to you all and happy new year, It has been an interesting day as far as eating as i should. Ate on my program and even went to the show. By the grace of God, I begged family not to buy popcorn. So J went and got the boys a small cup of ice cream. Kind of ticked me off until he handed me a coffee. It was without cream…

Hello all of you, Barbiecat, I must say that it is so good to come on this site and see you here. If makes me feel as though I came home. I have been doing fairly well. I have been messing around with the same ten pounds for the last 2 months. I have been doing the vegan thing. I feel that I should be eating this way for…

Good Afternoon, Barbiecat - oh my. I'm so sorry for your accident. And you are right. Gotta wear helmits. I took a fall just walking after I got off my bike and badly hurt my knee. I was actually afraid of riding after that for a few minutes. i didn't want to hurt myself again. Gotta get back on that horse and ride! Those…

You all inspire me further. I was not a big meat eater, or I didn't think so. Anyways, I am glad I did the 21 day challenge. I did it for health not because I don't think we should not be eating animals. I was just so sick and wanted to feel better. I got that so what can I say? Eating a fat diet is the first thing to put…

hey Barbiecat and all, I have been awal from the computer pretty much all month and then some. Got a rotten cold and then the kids had their month of Young Actors. Now we are getting ready for a camping trip. i am still Dr.McDougalling it. I love my vegan diet. I think I'm getting close to 6 months. I am not 100% perfect.…

Hey Barbiecat and all, It's always appreciated when you all write to me. I do appreciate it more than you know. I am dealing with the kids being out of school. I love it and prefer it that way, but i am off my regime. My knee is, by the grace of God, doing well. 'The bruising is starting to disappear. I have either a chest…

Hi all, I thank you for responding. I have been off because my 6 year old got really sick. Vomiting and diarrhea. finally had to have an IV for dehydration. He was doing pretty well then barfed again this morning. But doing better this evening. Well, enough of that. Yes, to those who have tried McDougalling. I am learning…

Hi, Sorry, I've been gone all day. Yes it is Vegan and No. This program by these Drs. stress high starch. They don't eat tofu but in very small quantities because it is also a very low fat diet. At least for the people who are trying to lose weight. It also stress high and low density food choices while try to lose weight.…

Your post has caught my attention. I am so sorry for your husbands heart attack. I am 55 and finally, because of health issues, had to resort to a complete overhall of my diet. It's a long story, but I went to PCRM.org (I think) Anyways, I ended up at DrMcDougall.com and began a 21 day journey to change my diet. It was…

I used to do this every single day. I did perfect until night. But now that I'm on my Vegan plan i don't graze or crave. I also make a choice not to. I tell myself I don't want to eat something if its talking to me. But if I'm really hungry, I go and have a small bowl of beans or a big salad. I don't use dressing. I know,…

Hi, I am doing Dr.mcDougall.com I eat as much raw salad as I can. Barely cooked oat bran, and beans and brown rice. I have diabetes, diet controlled. So the only fruit I eat is some berries and apple. Once in a while I cheat and eat a banana. I have been doing this for 2 months 1/2 months. I feel great and am down at least…

Hey all, I wanted supportive friends and then I kinda took a powder. Sorry. My grandson Jake 6, got a horrible flu. He's been running temps of 102 to 105 for three days. Finally, he is doing well this aftenoon. I have not had much sleep. Especially last night. But am so happy that I got some really good advice from a few…

Twilight, you are very wise and I'm not. I went out Sunday and rode my bike and now my knee hurts again. (But I'll tell you something. It is almost worth it. ) I had so much fun after being stuck for a month. Be blessed, kc Sparkle, this happened to me once before and the doc said aspirin therapy around the clock. It…

Hey Barbie! i've missed you. hey Seminole,:smile: You have been on my mind. I came down with a mild cold while Jose was in Mexico. I slept and took care of the kids. Then I went back to the gym and upped the tension to 20 like and idiot. The next day I could barely walk and it got worse each day.l I spent a worthless week…

Hi, I have one of those friends troo. I've known her since the 7th grade. That's like 40 years okay? And I know how you feel. You don't want to end it with her because of the length of time. But take it from me. It won't stop. I limit my time with (Lill). And if you don't find a better reason to lose weight, you won't. Do…

Hi Vegan friends, I hurt my leg and then my wrist. I really couldn't move my fingers for a week. I've spent a lot of my time on McDougall. I am now a month Vegan except the Baked Cheetos I ate today. Shame on me. Well, yesterday I made the carnivores a steak and I always want beef when my head aches. I really don't believe…

I am following McDougall.com And I am getting my recipes from vegweb.com Yesterday, I made a horrible bean soup and horrilbe corn bread. But Hey! I have made some good recipes too. One I…

Hi, I make trhis for my kids all the time. I put in agave and use soy yogurt instead of milk. It's a little richer. thanks, kc

Hi, You can make your own almond milk by soaking the nuts and putting in a blender. Look on vegweb.com I by the silk soy for the kids when I learned how bad any cows milk is for my kids. I wish I knew this years ago. I only use milk in some cooking and in my coffee. I shake the carton up vigorously and ilts like a latte.…

MLV33, I saw your pic and you are so very lovely girl. I may be old (55) but if there is one thing I've learned. You're beauty will shine through to the outside. What you want is to be healthy and happy. Take your time. Go to the wedding and spend the day really liking yourself just exactly the way you are right this…

Hi, I'm Type II diabetic. I started The McDougall program for diabetics to cure it. But it's Vegan and you may not want to go there. I am almost a month and so very glad I did. Vegweb.com has awesome recipes. One is, 1 box lite firm tofu, 1/2 cup of honey or agave 1/2 cup Hersey Cocoa powder/ no sugar is in this 1 TB of…

Hi again, I did go on Amazon and couldn't get that many pages. I went to target and looked through it quite a bit. (The Kind Diet) She eats Boca burgers and it is not recommended on McDougall. He feels soy products are bad for us. Well, all I know is that I gotta start some where. I have given up diet drinks, sweet/low,…

thanks jmarie, I love eggplant. Do you eat this as like a dip? With veggie sticks or pita sticks on on bread like a sandwich? I made hummus with tahini, roasted red peppers, garlic, and a tiny bit of cumin or sometimes curry. Once I grilled small rounds of polenta, a dab of the hummus, with a dab of avocado. It was…

Hi Simona, Easter had me kinda busy. Just getting online. I started with something I saw on PBS by a Dr Neal Barnard on a web site PCRM.com. He says that a vegan diet rids diabetes. So I went on his site and found all his videos very helpful. i needed more help so he mention Dr. McDougall. He has been around for a very…

Perrim, I don't know much about any of this. I am trying to follow McDougall because of diabetes. Other than that, I have a real problem when I eat wheat. Swelling and really spiking blood sugars. But then I have that problem when I eat carbs, but wose with wheat. It's just trial. So what is wrong with soy and why…

Hi all, I am struglling with diabetes and eating vegan. This morning I ate1/3 cup of pinto beans with an ounce of soyrizo mixed in. I ate 1/2 cup corn flakes with some soy milk. High sugars. I am so frustrated. I'm about to go back to my egg and zucchin which in the moring worked perfectly. kc
