New again..and in a PANIC!

[Guest guest]

Hi, I joined this group a week or so ago, then left because I thought I was above the "fats" problem.

 

Well, I went off the diet, ate sugar, and got a migraine to beat the band. I'm also thinking that I may have the beginnings of Type 2 Diabetes - adult-onset. I'm doing some reading and it says that "FATS contribute to insulin resistance."

 

Well, I'm in a panic. I'll get myself tested, of course, just to make sure, but my gut tells me I'm either borderline or I've crossed over!

 

BUT, I'm back on the vegan diet/lifestyle but I need to learn more about HOW TO COOK VEGAN WITH LOW/NO FAT. Any good books, websites, etc. that cater to the vegan lifestyle with low/no fat?

 

Help!

Well, Rose, you have come to the right place! And, any vegan cookbook I find I

can adapt to lower/no fat by simply cutting out the oil and using PAM spray or

broth or wine to saute, etc. I hope you don't have Type-2, but if you do, this

is by far the healthiest way of eating for it! -Becky

I'm also thinking that I may have the beginnings of Type 2 Diabetes -

adult-onset. I'm doing some reading and it says that " FATS contribute to

Rose,

PCRM (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine) is loaded with info and vegan recipes. Best, it is all FREE. Go to the library or buy the book Dr. Neal Barnard's Reversing Diabetes.

Good luck.

Thanks for links, folks.

 

Elizabeth, my library has Dr. Barnard's book, so I'll be getting that. Thanks.

And don't forget that Dr. McDougall has been working to reverse diabetes

for a few decades now with the very low fat, starch based, nearly vegan

food plan:

Rose,

 

You may not have any noticeable symptoms if you are borderline type II,

or have "crossed over". But, to find out you'll have to have a

physician do some tests. They would include a fasting blood glucose

test. A urine test is not sufficient, neither is a "finger stick" test.
