Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi again, I posted last fall asking about getting enough protein on a vegetarian diet. At the time my husband had been recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, and we were considering making the switch as part of his overall plan of action. We still haven't done anything except cut out dairy and red meat, not feeling quite ready to do more. However, we're both less and less interested in animal protein. Yesterday his newest doctor (an internist/oncologist specializing in prostate cancer) strongly recommended a vegan diet and a book called " The China Study " by Colin Campbell. We will read the book and see what we think. Babysteps! Does anyone here actually do the RR program on a vegan diet? If so, how is it working for you? And how do you get sufficient (RR program) protein? Despite the list I copied on vegetarian protein sources, I'm still unsure how to get sufficient protein on the RR program without eating lots of soy or more beans than I think I could choke down. :-) Perhaps I'm not understanding something? Of course, the doctor, knowing nothing about sugar sensitivity, maintains that we actually need less protein than most people think. Have any of you found this to be true after a period of time on step 7? Thanks for any help you can give us in sorting all of this out. It's an interesting process.
