    As for Protein if you get enough? Don't worry about it. Turns out protein is everywhere. Everything you eat has protein in it. All you will need is B12 if you eat health.

    Forks over Knives

    Wife & I have been on this whole plant food over a year now. She is off 90% of her meds. ( Back problems ) My weight is 153. Hers is 125. Her last check up her doctor there was something wrong because she had lost so much weight. She couldn't understand the whole plant base food. There is a cardiologist in town that teaches & offers this to her patients. She's tells them you can take these pills & see me for the rest your life or eat this way & never see me again. We will be seeing her soon. Several friends have reversed there heart problems. 3 have cured there diabetes & off meds. This is the easiest way to eat after a year. We don not count calories or worry about gaining weight any longer. By eating this way everything else takes care of itself. If you way of eating stops & reverses heart disease good for you. The family believes if we had not found this way of eating I would of been a widower. This is why I come across so strong about this. This works. And it is sad that folks die & get sick because this information is not getting out, or it is challenged with fake information. The Tobacco company use to do this. Mix up the message to fool the public. Like the Meat & dairy folks do to day. There is to much money in pills, to allow us to eat plants. $500 thousand is made off each cancer patient. Think about why diets are so confusing? Bless all of you guys & Ladies.
  3. You can look at my other post on here. Was sleeved 5 years ago. Was 300, lowest I got was 175. In Feb 2016 was at 205 & having nightmares about gaining my weight back. In Feb my wife had a health scare & we were asked to watch Forks over Knives. Since that day we have been eating 100% healthy food. My wife's health problems went away & she was taken off all her meds except one. I am down to 160 & feeling great.

    Can you get TOO MUCH protein?

    Google for the information. Here's a start. http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/protein/

    Gained 10 pounds in 6 months

    I was sleeved 5 years ago & gained back pounds recently. My lowest was 173, but was 203 in Feb 2016. I was scared & having nightmares about getting back up to 300 pounds again. I was eating the same stuff I always did. Meat & potato guy. Then the wife got sicker. ( Her health had been failing slowly for a few years. ) Look for my story on this site. We watched Fork over Knives & other documentaries about food. We learned how to eat for our health, not for weight. Since Feb, I am down to 160. I am wearing 32 inch waist pants. ( Been forty years ). My wife's health has recovered 99%. I have her back. I tear up thinking about how close I came to losing her. You can do this. When you eat for your health you do not have to count calories. You can eat as much & often as you like. I wish you the best. Just read this: http://www.todaysdietitian.com/newarchives/0416p30.shtml

    Alcohol suggestions!

    What else did you eat to get the weight back on?

    I'm stuck and frustrated

    List what you are eating. Stop any oils or sugar.

    I agree with you. The proof for this has been well documented since 1930's Look up The Rice House for example. Just have to want to look for it. YouTube, Netflix & internet are wonderful tools. Good health to you.

    Great idea on the blending. My daughter had my wife by a vitamix. ( Sam's club was the cheapest one around here. They cost a lot. ) We use that for juicing, and you can make hot soup! & ICE CREAM. ( just by putting in frozen fruit only ) It's like magic. Let us know your progress. If it works for you, then you can pass on your story. Getting folks healthy one story at a time. Myself I am below my lowest weight with the sleeve. I figured I carried about 10 pounds of extra skin from my fat days. It looks like it is going away. My lowest, I had a 34 inch waist. I am now 32 inch waist. Watch on Netflix "Conspiracy". Just finished watching it. It is mind blowing the stuff that we do not know. Here's to your health Jack

    This lifestlye is not about being a vegan or not. From Dr. Ornish, To Dr Campbell & Dr McDougall & others, they have been reversing heart disease, stopping & healing Cancers, reversing diabetes, etc for 40 years. Dr. Ornish methods has been approved by the government to be covered by insurance. A local hospital has his clinic at there location. He's in a lot of locations. What is a shame is we do not know about this way of eating. We are on this site because or eating problems. Just because something is different from our belief system does not make it wrong. Turns out what you put in your body does count. BUT if you put the right stuff in your body, it fixes itself. It's that simple. Your body will get to it's natural size while eating & no calorie counting & eating as much as you want. If you look at my other post you will see my wife's story. Now for a update on my wife. Wife saw her family Dr for a follow-up from her check up in Feb when her cholesterol was found to be 345. The Dr was very pleased she was on the Plant Based food and very pleased with her results of since Feb. The Dr stated our diet has a lot to do with our illnesses. Nancy's body weight is now in the normal range and cholesterol keeps falling. The Dr told her to stay off the statin drug. She doesn't need it. This lifestyle has saved her life. Also her Tachycardia is gone. She's been taking med's for it since age 13. Her body fixed it. Watch these Doctors on YouTube. Find something you can do try for just one month, then decide. Here's to your health.

    Milk: the Reason I Look Like a Heifer?

    Sorry if I get carried away & upset some people. If you want to know if this is for you or not just try in for one month. That's all. There are no side affects. IF you diabetic & on meds you HAVE to have your doctor involved. Your diabetes will improve greatly in the first couple of weeks, so it is dangerous to not have your meds adjusted properly. Two of my friends were taken off there meds.

    Look up how much protein is in Plants. It is a lot more than meat & milk, plus plant protein will not cause cancer. Remember where do animal's get protein? Yep PLANTS! The protein is not a problem. Ever meet anyone sick from not enough protein. They marketed this to get us to eat meat & milk. It worked. Somehow the rest of the world get there protein with no issues. Jack

    Dub that's a great plan. Google whole plant base doctor's in your area or vegetarian. I have two in my area. Since Doctors do not get any nutrician training in med school, most do not know about this. When you tell them you can fix something by diet, you will get a smirk sometimes. While you are at it look at other Doctors on YouTube. Look up milk & cheese. Those two were my biggest surprise. Good health to you.

    Milk: the Reason I Look Like a Heifer?

    This was all a surprise to me too. http://www.naturalnews.com/035081_pasteurized_milk_cancer_dairy.html This about PUS http://nutritionfacts.org/2011/09/08/how-much-pus-is-there-in-milk/ What turns on cancer from milk. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kathy-freston/a-cure-for-cancer-eating_b_298282.html OUR WORK SHOWED THAT CASEIN IS THE MOST RELEVANT CANCER PROMOTER EVER DISCOVERED. My note: Casein is in milk. Aside from chemicals initiating or promoting cancer, other agents such as cosmic rays (energetic particles) from the sun or from the outer reaches of space may impact our genes to cause them to change (i.e., mutate) so that they could give rise to cancer 'seeds'. The most important point to consider is that we cannot do much about preventing initiation but we can do a lot about preventing promotion. The initiating idea is fatalistic and outside of our control but the promotion idea is hopeful because we can change our exposure to promoting agents and reverse the cancer process, thus is within our control. KF: What exactly is so bad about animal Protein? TCC: I don't choose the word "exactly" because it suggests something very specific. Rather, casein causes a broad spectrum of adverse effects. Among other fundamental effects, it makes the body more acidic, alters the mix of hormones and modifies important enzyme activities, each of which can cause a broad array of more specific effects. One of these effects is its ability to promote cancer growth (by operating on key enzyme systems, by increasing hormone growth factors and by modifying the tissue acidity). Another is its ability to increase blood cholesterol (by modifying enzyme activities) and to enhance atherogenesis, which is the early stage of cardiovascular disease. And finally, although these are casein-specific effects, it should be noted that other animal-based Proteins are likely to have the same effect as casein.
