My Thoughts on Raw Honey while on WFPB

My Thoughts on Raw Honey while on WFPB

A “Vegan” is a person who does not eat any food derived from animals and who typically does not use other animal products. Simply put, they do not use or eat anything that is a byproduct of an animal, regardless what it is. Honey is one of these things that vegans claim to not take part in because if goes against their lifestyle. I have done a lot of research and thinking about honey, and I have…

Week 8 - 11

Week 8 – 11

I’ve returned to catch up on the last four weeks of not publishing any posts and disappearing from the world. I am not sure exactly where I sabotaged my weight loss plan at but it was between weeks 9 and 10. I know that I am not mentally strong enough when it comes to inappropriate foods. As nutty as it sounds there are many times that my mind will argue with itself and try to talk me into…

Week 7 - Goal 2 started

Week 7 – Goal 2 started

It is safe to say that I did not follow my lifestyle plan much last week. Partly because I had two days in a row were my blood sugar was low. The first day’s number was 78 and then it was 59. It has never been this low before and I was a little more worried than I have been since I started checking my levels. I was so nervous that I drank a couple of Red Bulls and ate a number of off plan meals…

Salisbury Steak Diet

Have you ever heard of the "Salisbury Steak Diet" check out my latest article.

Okay, I love Salisbury steak. It was one of the all time best frozen TV-dinners. What I never know is that it was considered a fad diet. “You just cannot make this s@#t up”. I came across this diet the other day and was stunned that it was a diet made famous by Dr. James H. Salisbury back in 1888. He was the inventor and promoted it until he died, and yes, it’s still around today. Dr. James H.…

Week 6 - Goal #1 Achieved!

Week 6 – Goal #1 Achieved!

On January 10, 2021, the start of my official journey was recorded. Although this article is a few days late, I wanted to report that I met my first goal. I now weigh less that 300 pounds….299.4 to be exact! I’ve lost a total of 27 lbs. on the Whole-Food Plant-Base (WFPD) diet, but a total of 30 lbs. since my birthday in September 2020. My blood glucose was in the normal range all week and I am…

Week 5

Not one of my better weeks, since I was not feeling good. I did not really eat healthy this week either as there was a lot going on and I was not as prepared as I should have been. I am learning more about this lifestyle and diabetes. I stumbled on a condition called phantom hypoglycemia which occurs when when your brain thinks it is starving. I really think this is what just happened and I was…

Low-Carbon Diet

So first thing to know is that a low-carbon diet is not a low-carb diet, though it is commonly mistaken as such. Low-carbon is a lifestyle choice centered around reducing the impact of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe). While choosing this diet one is hoping to develop a sustainable diet that increases the long-term sustainability of humanity. The U.S. food system is responsible for at least 20%…

Week 3

I’ve travelled a very interesting road with Week three. There were many potholes along the way requiring me to pay a little more attention to the road ahead. I had a few Red Bulls and Panera breakfast this week which I am not proud of and the results reflected my inappropriate decisions. I know part of that is due to me stopping my medications in last couple of weeks; however, I plan to restart…

Diets, diets, diets

For as long as I can remember my Mother has been trying to lose weight, by trying different diets, but continues to struggle today. Back in the early 1970s I got my first glimpse of the horrors of dieting when my mother decided to go on a diet. She started taking an appetite-suppressant candy that had been around since 1937, but was extremely popular from 1970 to 1980. Originally manufactured by…

If you’re still reading, then I guess you want know why I’m doing this? Well, allow me to tell you. I wanted to reach out to…
