I am almost 4 months on the nutritarian lifestyle. I have been super strict. No oil, butter, meat or dairy. My chol, trig have both went up by at least 30 points in a year. I was eating trim healthy mama prior to this without weight loss. Since eating nutritarian I have lost 20 pounds. I did eat a good bit of oatmeal on trim healthy mama and I completely stopped on nutritarian. Any suggestions
Let's see. your last test was a year ago. You went up 30 points. you've been Nutriarian for 4 months and have lost 20 pounds.
My best guess is that the 30 point increase happened in the 8 months you weren't Nutritarian. In fact, you might have lost points in the last 4 months. I think there is a strong association/correlation between weight loss and cholesterol.
Don't know what Trim Healthy Mama is.
You didn't need to quit the oatmeal. Oatmeal is not only allowed on the Nutritarian diet - Its recommended. I know Fuhrman recommends fewer grains if you are trying to lose weight - but I think he still recommends 1 - 2 servings a day. You could have some oatmeal for breakfast and some rice with dinner. ( I eat a lot of stir fry over rice or black beans over rice for dinners. )
For breakfast this morning I made my oatmeal with soymilk. then added strawberries and ground flaxseed. Under 300 calories and about 15 g protein.
