So, I was surfing the net the other day and came across the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine site. It made some interesting reading about the power of a low fat, plant based diet and the effect it can have on weight management and in helping to reverse type 2 diabetes, often known as adult onset diabetes. I'm not a doctor or researcher so I can't tell you if the claims are well supported or not but it seems to match other things I've read.
To cut to the chase I am going to try some of the suggestions there, like staying away from all animal products (which I was already doing), fruits such as pineapple and watermelon, olives and avocado and all forms of wheat. I'm going to miss watermelon and wheat but it's not a big leap from where I've been so I think it should be easy.
Tonight we went to a sushi restaurant. I managed to find on plan things to eat but it was a bit limited.
I tried naproxen today instead of ibuprofen. It seems to be okay although it took a long time to take effect but it is holding a lot longer. I'm not pain free by any means but it seems to be at a manageable level.
I'm a couple days away from seven weeks into this study of one.
Activity:
Some walking.
Progress - 21 pounds down 6 weeks and five days since the start.
