Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 LOL, Yes I am a dork. I tried the Carbohydrate Addicts diet. Let's just say that other than the 4 pound weight-loss (which will probably come right back) it was a miserable failure. I really want to get back on a vegetarian eating plan. While I am quite sure that low carb is not the way to go I am still concerned with reducing processed carbs and making sure I am eating well. I think we probably all know someone who is vegetarian but still has a terribly unhealthy diet. I don't want to be one of those people. I'd like some book recommendations that are doable. McDougall and Ornish are too strict for me. Any reading recommendations, suggestions, tips, advice - all are welcome! ~Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Hi There, You are not alone. First I tried a vegetarian-Atkins diet which left me with no energy at all. I stopped working out because I had no energy. Then I decided to try the raw food diet to get my body and brain functioning again. I ate to many avacados and way to many cashews. My weight ballooned. I am back to a low fat vegan diet and work out daily. I am loosing body fat and have lots of energy again.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Dear Heidi, We all make mistakes. The point is to learn from them. As long as you don't jump on the band wagon everytime a new fad diet rears it's ugly head, you should be fine. I personally had a bad experience with both edpredra products and slimfast shakes. Reflecting back, that was the worst possible thing I could have done for my body. Sure, I lost weight but my heart was dangerously racey and starvation on stupid shakes lead to both binges and malnutrition depending on how "good" I was being on my diet. Forget it! I eat real food now. Stick to what works and is healthy, that simple equation that we all know by heart; diet and exercise. No magic bullet is going to get us there, determination will. If anyone tells you otherwise, it is a marketing ploy. And Heidi, though I do not know you personally, I am certain that you are a beautiful person so please do not put yourself down ok?
