The draw back is you do not get vit b and should take a suppliment if you don't and you deplete your body of b you could die. and once ot becomes too depleted no meat/supliment will help save your life. even though veggies have b it is not the same.

I get Vit. B from other food sources like Brewer's Yeast (goes in my smoothies) and Spirulina, just to name a couple. I do not take synthetic vitamins. Everything is from whole-food sources.

Thank you, though! Not everyone knows about the B issue, in particular B12.

As all the oldies know I LOVE pilates. Amazon.com has Everlast equiptment for 20% off. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the 4 way ab stretch with the discount it is around $8 the best $8 you will ever invest. I got one a few years ago and it was time for a new one. They don't brake as easy as some of the other resistance bands.

That Carrie is so smart. What a great idea. (Does it have to be pink, Carrie? That's a joke because she loves pink and I hate it.) I'm in for the plan and giving up bad carbs....and I don't care if you go off topic or not. I love everything on this marvelous forum. :-D

Oh and My daughter is at it again. You all know I really hate the color yellow( Its makes me want to either cry or throw up) Guess what showed up in my living room last night? A yellow french provincial dresser that my daughter bought at an auction house. yep there it is with those stupid smiley handles stairing at me. I want to open the drawer and throw up in it. but I won't. This after the yellow tree decorating incident. She is really trying to kill me i think

Now, now she is not trying to kill you lets get real she is just trying to have you committed. But you needn't worry if that happens Missy will tell you all the ins and outs of the phych ward. They will only keep you there for 48 hours to observe your behavior. Just tell them you do not want any flowers from DD as we know she will more then likely send you yellow roses. :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol:
Yup. I am an alumni of the Nut House. Any questions? Ask away!

He seems to eat as often as he wants.
Big salads with lemon juice dressing, apples, nuts, veggie soup (homemade), etc.
No sugar or anything white (except egg whites and a little skim milk. He's an ovo-lacto vegetarian)
Maybe that's what I'll try?
And the idea of drinking alot of water will be easy for me. I always have 2 one gallon jugs in the fridge just for me. I love it and drink it all the time already.

Once you start it, after awhile, your body actually starts craving nothing but healthy food. Sugar and white stuff becomes a turn-off. And the way you will start to feel is amazing! But watch out. If you start allowing the sugar & bad foods back in your life, the scales will show it in no time flat! Ask me how I know!!! :) Anyway, I'm back to strictly vegan as of today.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do! :)
That is so true. I am usually vegan. The very odd animal product here and there. I have been totally off over Christmas and have gained it happens so fast. So it's back to lots of water, plenty of sleep, walking and eliptical training first thing in the morning. No whites or animal products. I know I can't go wrong with this program.

:-( :-(
