Re: mostly raw vegetarian diet:

[Guest guest]

What a great idea! A veg diet for all! I only say this because I have

already made the switch! It was originally for the animals sake, but quickly

became my sake, as my health did a complete turn around. It has been 2 years

and 3 months since I have lifted red meat or pork on a fork. Now I sport T

shirts with Piggies on them that say " I ain't got no spare ribs! "

Aside from all of that, I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how great

you can feel without the meats. Additionally, as a full blown vegetarian,

you always have room for those nasty deserts! That is the plus! I just

remembered that I bought donuts yesterday, so guess where I am headed???

If you need any idea's just give a holler! It is so easy to be a vegan in

the summer~Great time to start. Plus, although everyone is different, I hate

the hamburgers, etc., that are made to taste like meat...They taste

like...hmmm can't say the word I am looking for. But, the veggie burgers by

morning star farms are superb on the grill.

Hi new to the group...

I want my husband to try this all raw fruit and

vegetable diet. He has fibro. He also has a great

many other health issues... but, I do not know if he

can do this diet. He is diabetic. (has horrible

eating habits! I am not sure if he can handle all

fruits and vegetables and keep his sugar level in

control. (who am I kidding... its not incontrol now.)

I think that all of his illnesses feed off the other.

If his sugar is high.. His fibromyalgia flares up and

if He is in a depressed state (His bi-polar) then his

fibromyalgia flares up and his sugar is high. Find

the root to all of these health problems would be

wonderful for Him! (And me too! :-) I just try to

be supportive at all times... However, I get extremely

discouraged when he doesn't want to find something

that will possibly help. He thinks its easier to just

stay in bed. Then he doesn't have to deal with life.

Any one with Diabetes try the raw vegetable and fruit

diet?

thanks,

TJ

Go Jackie!!

I know when I slip up on my diet I feel it. It is amazing to me that food has

such an affect on our bodies. I would of never thought that it would make such

a huge difference in my life. Jackie, any support you need to stay on this

diet....I will be there for you. It is hard at times, especially if you have a

family that eats stuff like (cookies, candy, chips, etc). But if you just

imagine all of those kinds of items as poision it helps a lot. In addition to

the change in diet it was also important for me to begin a good excercise

program. At first all I could do is walk. But now I do stairsteppers for 45

minutes each day (and I am now up to 4 on the resistance), plus 15 minutes of

reps with weights (10 lbs), and stretching. Some days (when I have slipped on

my diet) the excercise will actually take away the pain I get in my legs, knees

and hips.

Good luck jackie...... You can do it!!

********************

I'm going to start this today, but will be including a few protiens.

It's time for me to cut out all the processed foods, sugar, flour

etc.

I feel better when I do this and the last times I did,and stopped

hurting so bad, I started slipping back into my old ways of eating

now I'm a fibro mess again. My hip feels like there is a steak knife

in it right now and I am so tired I wouldn't be able to fight my way

out of a wet paper bag. I have things I need to get done too.

Thanks for the reminder, Ill post with updates Anyone else want to

join me in going to a more natural diet if not the completely veg

diet?

If so feel free to say hello on yahoo messenger. I could use some raw

veggie meal ideas. Fruits I am good at lol
