You should watch "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" . That's probably where the girl you work with got the idea. It's a very compelling and interesting documentary where people take control of their weight problems and health problems by juicing.

^^ Thanks for this!

I pondered the same thing after the film for several days. I finally just did it. It's hard, and takes some getting used to. I am getting flack from many family and friends, but I just kept telling myself I needed to at least try. I am on week 2 and I feel amazing. I feel really good about the food choices I am making. My…

Supermarket vegan! Sounds right up my alley!

It means a lot that someone gets what I am saying and is even inspired by that. :)

Love this! Thank you.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I feel good about this. I can't explain it well to anyone. It just feels right for me. It appears this is the way we should have been eating all along. And if others don't agree that's ok ( my best friend has her snarky opinions) I will take you up on that friend request.

Ethical, weight related.... I want to feel good. A family member started the FOK diet so I thought I would give it a look see and tumbled into boundless information about corn-fed antibiotic ridden cows, overly processed everything and the notion that we could cure illness with food. And No, I have no "reports" to back it…

Thanks! i am going to try and not get bored in the kitchen. My goal is to find a few "staples" my family likes, particularly my husband . If i am making it for him because he likes it, it will definitely stick around and stay in meal rotation! And my goal is not to force him into it, because I don't want to turn him off to…

Lol! I don't think I could not. I have a couple friends who think I'm crazy...but I have my mind made up and doing it. The only person who would convince me otherwise would be my doctor.

Awesome, thank you. I really looooove beans/fruit/all kinds of veggies. Legumes are yummy, too. I just worry I will overindulge in them because they are "healthy" . Yes, i plan on avoiding ALL processed foods, which is really damn difficult but I think it is best. My husband is being very supportive, and he is even…

Thank you!

Would I need to take an iron supplement or just google iron rich foods?

Yes, cutting out processed foods has been the hardest. I'm trying to go full on plant strong, i feel like it's very important for both health and ethical reasons. Since I am only on day 2 I know I am not fully aware of how difficult the lifestyle is to maintain, but first trip to the grocery store and I know my "junk"…

Thank you! I am drinking coffee with soy milk as I write this, but I only got it because they were out of almond milk! Lots of good advice.

Thanks, I really thought the "no cheese or dairy" would be the hard part. It really is the processed foods as everything is processed now-a-days. I am just hoping for lots of recipes and time in the kitchen coupled with determination. Thanks!

Thank you! Yes, I have been researching plant strong food lists and recipes . I will definitely look into a good B12 supplement. thanks!

Recently don't like meat all that much, but after talking to a friend of mine who went paleo last year (she lost 55lbs and came off all medication) and watching a documentary with my husband (the meat lover) I am completely willing to give it my best shot. From what I understand eating a plant based diet can increase…

bump...

anyone??

BUMP, same problem here
