    Yes thanks Lou I have seen all of those programs. More than once! The kick starter is a bit tough, since its too many new recipes and ingredients coming at me too fast. Now BOTH Barnard and McDougall, If I am understanding correctly, say that with the elimination of fat in the cells, A1C will...

    Yes I am Emma, and also Dr. John McDougall, who also prescribes to that research. That's why I expected my A1C to go down. I never imagined it would go up. I'm aware of many cases of after being on a Plant-Based diet only a few weeks the A1C went down. My hope at this point is as more weight...

    Ok I'm writing everything down. I still have one thing eating at me though. And this is for both you and Emma. What about my diet made my A1C go up? Prior to this I was attempting LOW CARB diet, but wasn't very stricked. I did at one time get the A1C down to 6.2. But I couldn't keep eating...

    Soups! OMG why didn't I think of that! Emma thanks for that. I added your ingredients to my grocery list. That is probably something I need, simple and easy to make Vegan recipes. So I am probably eating too much starch and not enough vegies???

    Plant based for 3 months - Blood pressure 150/83

    I have been on a plant based diet since early March. I am 25 pounds or so overweight at this point ( I have lost 14). I am concerned that my blood pressure is not going down. Checked Monday 130/82, but today 150/82. Something must be wrong. Any help appreciated.
