High quality, nutrient rich, mostly veggie diet is what I'm eating in an attempt to lose 20lbs in 30 days. Check out my site; I show you what I'm eating.

Lifestyle change works...better than pills or surgery in my mind. Garbage in...means disease. Quality in...means health.

I hate to say just follow what i eat, I eat tofu and vege only sometime milk and soymilk, a liitle coffee, a little craker and a lot of soup, because I am buddhist, I wont eat animal meat and animal soup period. chanting buddha mantra daily, I feel great.

@MelodiesfromHeaven: Read Caldwell Esselstyn "Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease," Neal Barnard "Program for Preventing and Reversing Diabetes," Richard Johnson "The Sugar Fix," and "Forks Over Knives."

@mwowner12 Grapes :) have a grape diet.. 3 days only eat grapes.. it will clean up a lot of mucus in your system. Also works with polio virus, stops both in their tracks.

@auggiedoggy ;

I loaned that book out (Reversing Heart Disease) and never received it back. So I cannot quote it 100%. However, eating fruits and vegetables is mainly the diet. Once the heart has begun to heal itself, *eventually small amounts of protein (fish) is added to the diet, as well as healthy fat. I don't believe Dr. Ornish ever recommends dairy or red meats. If you don't already have the book, I highly advise it! It explains everything in detail.

@MelodiesfromHeaven : I didn't know that Ornish allowed nuts, seeds and avocados since his diet keeps fats to 10%.

@augie doggie;

Dr. Ornish's Diet was mainly whole foods, before man tampered with it. The problem with wheat, corn & any product made from such is GMOs. If we were to go back to clean unadulterated food, I think we would see these "epidemic" disease's declining. By the way, Fat is a part of the diet, from Nut's, Seed's, Avocados. I had the book, and don't recall carbs as a main part of the diet. Unless of course, they were complex carbs.

[auggiedoggy]

Did Ornish's diet (a very low fat vegetarain diet) include bread, rice and pasta? Doesn't this go against what you propose, which is a diet of the types of foods humans spent most of their existance consuming, .i.e. modest/no grains, no dairy or legumes.
