So this is a real confession: We have been doing our best at the Vegan Diet since July 2011. In the last week, I have had blue cheese dressing, caesar dressing, peppermint coffee creamer, icing on a cake(not vegan). I have been really struggling with Dairy. I crave it like a DRUG.
Today, however, I was drinking juice out of my grandmother's little juice glass and I was reminded that I don't ever want to get diabetes. She died at 65, had diabetes at 40. I have been off my pre-diabetic medication now for over a year. I need to continue to do this lifestyle for my health and my future.
I need to reread, "The China Study" and "Women, Food, and God." These 2 books are the key to my choices. It is important to know that "You can eat these foods(meat and dairy), but you don't want to anymore for health reasons." Also, to "Eat when hungry and only till satisfied" will help with weight loss.
