since I started I've lost around seventeen pounds and down two pant sizes. I'm not sure I can pin it down to just one thing because as you know, detoxing off all the nasty hazardous things like meat, eggs, dairy, sugar, salt, oil, flour etc. it's easy to drop pounds. But one thing that stands out for me is how I feel after enjoying VFB (Veggies for breakfast) vs eating oatmeal with fruit... lately i'm eating the later as a second breakfast, just a much smaller portion.
Obviously I'm new to this so if anyone has any pointers, or food ideas, I"m all ears! I spend way too much time looking for recipes, shopping and then cooking!

prentir commented on this post about 5 years agoHello everyone. So Dr. Carney's Starch Smartest system says to eat veggies for breakfast. What do you have for quick breakfast? Also, it says NO vinegar, which I use Balsamic vinegar for salad dressing... what do you use for salad dressing?
thanks!-
We use lemon or lime juice instead of vinegar. Making lemon and lime juice is less of a process than making vinegars. And, lemon and lime juice is More ... -

I stay away from tahini as bought brands often contain something I don't need to be eating. Many have oil and in the case of PlantPure Nation's More ...

That being said, I am down into clothes sizes I have not seen since jr. high and for that I am grateful. however, my iron has only gone up from 9 to 16 and i have surgery up and coming for a polyp, which my Dr. is hoping will help with the iron. if you have any tips for this I would appreciate it. My question has to do with blood pressure. I've been taking (reluctantly) the prescription my dr put me on. but I am also eating oats, taking vita K2 in the MK7 form to help with blood pressure but it's still hovering in the upper 140s into the mid 150s over 80-90 ranges. what can I do to raise my blood pressure? If this is already addressed i apologize and ask that you share the link. thank you and I hope to get in here soon! LoriMorePost is under moderationStream item published successfully.

MoreHi Sean, how is your morning stretches and evening walk coming along?
I've been going to the gym 2 or 3 times a week and walking the dog more regularly. While I stretch at the gym I can't say I'm as faithful to do my morning stretches. I'll work on a schedule check list for the house for those and a few other things.
Yesterday I signed up for a new gym. It will cost $10 less a month and it is much smaller, more personalized. and the people who run it are physical therapist and his assistant. They help comprise a personalized work out to help you achieve your personal goals, and they will change it as time goes on when you are ready. While I was previously going to the gym I felt like a fish out of water, not knowing what to do, or how to use the machines, or if I'm doing what I needed to to achieve my goals. Talk about excitement at the new place, and all for only $19.99 a month!

When I first started, as expected, I lost 30 lbs. I was hoping you all had some advise. I wish I could say it's fat turning to muscle, but I fear that is not the case :(. even though I have been working out twice a week. Ideas may help. PS. before you ask, I am enjoying oatmeal with fruit for breakfast, salad for lunch, and variation usually like veggie burger for dinner. no nuts. I do use hemp seed a tbsp in my oatmeal but thats about all. And I did switch from Almond milk to Oat milk. And yes, I am usually satisfied throughout the day. any advise would be apreciated. signed, Thrilled with lifestyle change, frustrated with long plateau :)More

MoreHI Sean and thank you!
I tried printing the vegworld magazine article but it was all jumbled with the website link on every page. I guess one has to subscribe to print it so I will have to read it later.
I was able to pring the starch-smartest system and it's saying no vinegar. I use Balsamic Vinegar for a dressing, if I need to stop that what else can I use for a dressing? As you know most other's I've found either have added sweeteners or nuts. this was my easy go to!
I look forward to reading the rest when I get a chance.
thanks again for all your help, and I do plan on blogging, just a matter of finding time with projects around the house like destroying a shed! :)
