Guest guest Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Might try dumping the dairy - perhaps eggs that are organic and free range might be ok. They have less hormones and the poor chickens have a life. Look for other sourdes of protein such as sprouted grains, nuts, beans, legumes.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 I'm a type 2 diabetic and the first year I became veg I followed the diet in " Breaking the Food Seduction " by Dr. Neal Barnard. I lost a ton of weight and my blood sugars have been great ever since. I'm not sure if it would have the same effect for you as a Type 1, but if you're looking for inspiration to get off the dairy and/or eggs, it's a great source of information.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2005 Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 " pompino76 " pompino76 I almost hesitate to answer this question, since I have my own weight issues and even though I know what to do, I don't always do what is best for me. In general, you want to increase nutritionally dense foods, including good complex carbohydrates and leafy green vegetables. You are sabotaging yourself by continuing with eggs and dairy. (I did that at first until I learned better!) Do you want calcium? Increase DARK leafy greens and get more from seeds like sesame seeds, eg tahini. Are you concerned about protein? You don't NEED eggs and dairy. Check out web pages and books from Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Neal Barnard. You can find info on these physicians on VegSource, http://www.vegsource.com or on the Physicians Committee for Responsibility site - http://www.pcrm.org.
