I knew if I did it for a few days my friend would get a good idea of what it would be like to be on the diet. I thought it was too low in calories (800-1200 per day) and didn't include enough veggies. Can't say I understand why there would ever be a limit on veggies. No one ever got fat eating too much plain broccoli. I didn't think the diet was well balanced. However to be fair about 25 years ago I knew someone that lost over 50 pounds on the diet so I suppose it works for a lot of people. I hope that helped.<br /><br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-1400804427540002572011-04-25T07:59:06.109-04:002011-04-25T07:59:06.109-04:00Ricki,
You sound like Dan with the savory oatmeal...Ricki,<br /><br />You sound like Dan with the savory oatmeal...he can't get into either. Did you try adding nutritional yeast and salsa to the versions you tried? I think those two are key to my enjoying it.<br /><br />Thanks I had no idea a broken toe would be this painful. I tend to be a bit stubborn which is why I continue to try to wear shoes. Good thing I have the ability to stay home and barefoot most of the time LOL.<br /><br />hope you had a nice weekend,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-67496105745185628202011-04-25T07:56:03.775-04:002011-04-25T07:56:03.775-04:00Possum,

It is okay as long as I don't try to wear shoes (even sandals) and then it is extremely painful. I am looking forward to it healing soon.<br /><br />I don't cook a lot of black beans but am trying to add then into my bean rotation more often. They are particularly good with sweet potatoes.<br /><br />It is a good book you should check it out. I like it much more than I expected to.<br /><br />hope you had a nice weekend,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-36833409262210117662011-04-23T20:55:41.514-04:002011-04-23T20:55:41.514-04:00Your food looks fantastic.

I heard Dr. Norm Shealy speaking about this one, and it was the first I ever heard of it. Both my husband and I are lacto-vegetarian.http://athursdayschild.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02436230068246552823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-6028301131692464572011-04-23T15:55:33.090-04:002011-04-23T15:55:33.090-04:00Black bean soup looks great.

I love savory twists on other grain dishes, so it's weird.<br /><br />So sorry about your toe--and that my reading is so erratic these days that I missed it! I am sure I wouldn't be able to wear shoes, either. I think most people just wear a sock with a plastic bag over the foot with the broken toe!Rickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10152813989228518262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-92233380806638502512011-04-23T00:52:47.207-04:002011-04-23T00:52:47.207-04:00Ouch sorry to hear about your toe - sounds painful...Ouch sorry to hear about your toe - sounds painful. I wish you a speedy recovery<br /><br />Love the black bean soup and flavours - I've been meaning to use up some of the black beans in the cupboard - would be a great way. <br /><br />So happy to hear you are doing a "consciousness cleanse". A sure sign that times are changing as more spirituality (not religion) is permeating the mainstream! Makes me happy :)Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587228270481644529noreply@blogger.com
