Hi Kate,
Have you checked out Eat To Live? The web site is www.drfuhrman.com
I was a diabetic, now I am officially and ex-diabetic. I had very high medicated blood pressure, now I am in normal range. I was overweight even after a year on a raw vegan diet. Now I am losing a ton of weight effortlessly and hoping for a remission of my fibromyalgia, it has happened for others on the program. I had high cholesterol, now it is in the very low range.
I am amazed that even being around the vegan world for a few years how I could have missed this. I guess I assumed that it was the same old stuff. Now I am a "nutritarian" and am heading everyday to better health. If you own true, vibrant health, proper weight will be there. The hardest challenge for me was taking all salt out of my diet. After sticking with it for a month I am now OK with it and enjoying food more than I ever had. This has been a true godsend to me and has shocked my doctor.
Respectfully,
Rosemary
