Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hello and welcome to the group, Em The Eat2Live plan is very good, isn't it? The pounds just dropped off - for me, anyway. And then it was pretty easy to adjust it nicely so that I didn't just keep losing and getting thinner than I should be. If I have a problem (three or more pounds on from too much eating out - or in LOL), I just go on the diet as it is recommended and it goes off again. I know what you mean about sticking to it, though. It is so tempting to slip into old habits of eating - too much grain does it for me I find that if I make up a huge platter of cruditee in the morning and then, at lunchtime, sit down and seriously munch my way through them along with some lovely salad greens, then I don't want to eat much else - a few beans, maybe, as recommended, but you can save those for the evening meal (bean soup?). Right now, however, I'm doing a nearly raw version of the plan - a bit tricky, but . . . Enjoy the group and post often. And good luck with the weight loss.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I have never heard of the Eat to live plan before. What does it entail? Thanks, Sarah B.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 It's about 50% raw veggies, 50% cooked, plus beans and limited grains. Low'ish in fat (no oils and such, but nuts and avocados).

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hmmm sounds pretty easy. Since getting braces put on it has been harder for me to eat the raw veggies. But there are tender raw veggies out there. I just need to be more adventerous. Sarah B. Erin <truepatriot wrote: It's about 50% raw veggies, 50% cooked, plus beans and limited grains.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Hi Pat, yes when I stick with it it is easy as pie! :-) The raw plan sounds good. I have been dabbling with that too-and plan on having many more rawfoods as summer comes. Em , Pat <drpatsant wrote: > > > Hello and welcome to the group, Em The Eat2Live plan is very good, isn't it?
