[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2195775, member: 493719"] mmhh...do you have data to back that up, or like me did you just swallow all the 'good advice' out there we are expected to just follow ? for me i have my own .My [B]Blood Tests[/B] going back almost 10 years. [ATTACH=full]37734[/ATTACH] from left to right..2010/2011 2x sets of BG, where no one mentioned t2 middle two my DX hba1c bloods 2018..2nd set after starving myself for the period last two, jan 2019..then july 2019 when i hit Hba1c of 40..on LCHF as you can see, all my blood tests since going LCHF show major improvements over the so called healthy diet i was eating for so many years and the eatwell plate i followed religiously on DX, only to find i got worse, not better. 56/57 hba1c I'm not a vegan or vegetarian, but i love [USER=468055]@LooperCat[/USER] take, that there ARE alternatives. she has found a way to go vegan, as have others. ( I do like that i have a fall back IF LCHF no longer gives me the results it currently does.:) ) i like and respect that choice, while having concerns that for ME the diet may lack vitamins and i would lack the will/discipline needed to make it a success. [USER=510059]@Walking Girl[/USER] states it best, if you don't enjoy what you eat, will you really stick any diet.? O/P liking the suggestion that you try for one week and see how that goes, whether that's meat, veggie or vegan i like meat too much, it's easy, simple and tasty..but i also choose veggie for some meals and enjoy at the end of the day, for me..the idea is to eat what i can, what i must... to see myself through as well and as healthy as possible to the end of MY days. I've just returned from a wonderful two weeks away, where i swam, sunbathed, danced, drank far more then a man of my age should and in a way i would have considered WAY beyond me before i was DX'd and changed my life around. genes or good foods..who knows, but it can't hurt to look after yourself a little bit better, can it ? If with respect, you have reasons to make that journey vegan. vegetarian many on here can guide, but if the reasons are not so entrenched /ethical, maybe an open mind to other diets, might just be best for YOU. either way. Best wishes for your Journey. may you find a way that works for you that you can stick to an enjoy...:) [/QUOTE]
