William you mention spices. This is
crucial. For breakfast it's not so hard, but dinner, being all vegetables is
tough. What spices are you using? Have you figured out how to make a
sauce that doesn't use oil or fat or mayo?
You started this 10 years ago - you could have saved me from the heart attacks
I had had you aggressively pushed me to study this & do it. I am unhappy
about that. And also had you been more forceful a couple years ago when
you introduced this to me I might have done it, but you were gentle. Sometimes
persistent force is NECESSARY to make a person break habits, addictions &
old beliefs. I wish you had PUSHED me to study this because if I had given it a
chance I would have changed long ago.
Pete you hate
this diet. But I want to encourage you to at the very least enter into your
diet SOME of the items he suggests. More leafy greens, more veggies, more
fruit, more whole grain, more oatmeal. He said the LEAFY GREENS are the
main items which cause the change. Kale, Swiss Chard, spinach, arugula &
beet greens are the most effective. {My provincial market had some but not all
of these yesterday! But I got a week's worth of greens & am eating
them constantly anointed with balsamic vinegar as he says - one can also use
rice vinegar or wine vinegar & IMO if you don't have that, apple cider
vinegar.}
You could
continue to eat what makes you happy including your olive oil, but if you put
in these items every day might be of great benefit. Will you at least TRY?
I know how hard
it is to CHANGE because look at me. William tried to help me but he wasn't
FORCEFUL or PERSISTENT so I IGNORED him. You want me to STOP pushing about this
but I WON'T. Because if I push it might help you tremendously for the
rest of your life. I entreat you to try it PARTIALLY, that is all.
His helper
explained there are 2 ways to follow this diet, "Plant STRONG" &
"Plant PERFECT." One can do plant strong if they can't do the
perfect. I am trying the perfect but not 100% because he doesn't like PEANUT BUTTER
but he likes PEANUTS. But I ate two peanut butter sandwiches {with
flaxeed in them} for my dinner. I just don't have enough ingredients to do it
all right yet. Maybe I'll continue eating p butter once in a while.
And I might eat ANYTHING for my birthday, Thanksgiving & Xmas, lol.
About peanut oil: whole peauts are good but AVOID peanut
oil! They did studies on poor little monkeys, giving them corn oil, some other
oil & peanut oil. Then they killed them & did autopsies. The ones that
ate peanut oil were riddled with heart disease!
William, keep
holding me up on this, help me with ideas like how do you make these tasteless
veggies palatable? What do you do with regular POTATOES?
