In a nutshell the eating plan is a Vegan, no oils plan that is supposed to clear the fat and build up from your arteries allowing even someone that can no longer be helped surgically to live for many more years.

I have found the by-product of this eating plan to be a pretty steady weight loss, and a decreasing Insulin resistance. I have a lot of body (belly) fat, as do most diabetics, and the fat is melting off because I am not eating any fat. I mean NO fat. This is probably the biggest roadblock for most people, becausde I basically have to cook from scratch everything I eat. What I can eat off the shelf requires every label to be read. You wouldn't think vegatable stock would have oil, but most brands do.

When I say no oil/no fat, I mean no oil, margarine, nuts, avocados, olives, no bread with oil...etc... No added oil. A vegan diet is hard enough, without having no oils....but for *ME*, it is the only way I am going to see 60 without more heart issues.

I had a triple by-pass in 2007 with a heart attack and stent in 2002. My father dropped dead of a heart attack at 59, which was nearly 10 years to the day he had a 4 way by-pass. I will only make it to 57 or so unless I change the way I live my live right now.

We go out to eat occasionally at a Vegan place in Long Beach that let's us special order, but otherwise I cook 3 meals a day, every day. In order to sautee vegatables I have to do it in veggie stock, which takes 3x's as long. Until I found veggie stock without oil I had to make my own and freeze it.

There are several good Vegan blogs out there with some great receipes, some are even fat free vegan blogs. I substitute applesauce where I can for oil in some receipes, I use egg replacer...I have a Lentil Loaf receipe that is to die for it is so good. Getting the right combinations and amounts of protein is a challange, but most Vegans do okay...Tofu, beans, grains...even quite a few vegatables (cauliflower) are a good source of protein. We also supplement with Protein shakes when we feel the day just wasn't balanced well. Neither one of us are getting any younger, and as you age your need for protein increases.

If you have any questions ask, or you can PM me.
