Guest guest Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 ----------<<------<<@ *the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return* Hello . I just joined and want to introduce myself. I am just learning to be vegan as I have been diagnosed with diabetes and am hoping to defeat it so I won't have to go on insulin and perhaps no medicine at all. I am middle aged and married to a wonder man for 38 years now this past September < labor day weekend> I have 6 grand children, all girls with only 1 boy! I am wondering if you can help me with the vegan diet here???? Thanks so much! Kristine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Welcome, One thing you should watch out for are carbohydrates. Sometimes a vegan diet can be high in Carbs, so make sure you eat complex carbs(high fiber, whole grain) and incorporate a form of protein with each carb to lower glycemic (glucose) response. You will start to feel like a new person in a week or two of a vegan diet. Trust me! If I could recommend 1 thing...nutritional yeast! Great source of vitamin B's and amino acids. I sprinkle it on Boca vegan burgers, pasta, soy crips, popcorn, etc...cheesy flavor and sooooo good for you. , Omber Rose <kristine_foster2000 wrote: > > > > > ----------<<------<<@ > *the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return* > > > > Hello .
