Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Hi holly My name is nancy (I don't post very often due to lack of time). I was reading your post about your diet and was wondering what you eat. I am a vegetarian (lacto-ovo) but do not eat healthy at all. I am very lazy when it comes to preparing food. I rely very heavily on junk food and anything that is easy to prepare (I don't even like to cook pasta). What do you eat if you eat a vegan and gluten free diet? Any suggestions to easily improve my diet would be greatly appreciated! McK in VA Subject: RA without drugs Hi - the name of the book I mentioned in the previous post is Diet & Arthritis by Dr. Gail Darlington, a British Rheumatologist & arthritis researcher. I maybe should point out that my progress was gradual & consisted of cutting certain foods out of my diet, exercising - also a gradual process, just walking further each day, starting off with a few steps & slowing increasing the distance. I took medication for over 5 years & certainly realise that there is no option for some people & is correct to mention the other two thirds of RA patients who need to take medication but sometimes there are severe side effects from drugs and if like me they find some relief from a mainly vegan, low fat & gluten free diet then it is worth a try. I am certainly not cured but the improvement in pain levels has made it worthwhile. I hope this gives hope to some of you inflicted with this terrible disease.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Make largish amounts of several dishes and eat them as leftovers through the week. Some I also freeze for future meals. I find it actually easier to cook ahead than worry about what to eat day by day. The only thing I don't prepare ahead would be salads with lettuce because lettuce doesn't keep real well.Because there are no animal products and not much oil it seems like stuff keeps fairly well. --- McKinnon L <nmckinno@...> wrote: > Hi holly > > My name is nancy (I don't post very often due to > lack of time).
