Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

Thanks for posting this,and it comes at the perfect time! Hugs, RO
I have seen so many of these stories - Dr. Joel Furhman has excellent books and information on how people can reverse chronic disease with dietary change. I know from my own journey that being plant based has left me without the chronic inflammation I use to suffer from. My joints are so happy and my tendonitis is gone. I am coming up on a year anniversary and feel 20 years younger!
Whoa. That's a change.
Making changes in our diet is difficult but not impossible.
XOXO
Good for him. It hard to change the way you eat.
I finished a prediabetes program in April last year. It's a program that's pushed by the CDC. One hour for one day a week for 26 weeks. Then tapering off for the rest of a year. It basically teaches you how to eat differently.
The CDC pushes a low-fat diet because fat has more calories than sugar. A friend of mine that's a nurse said she remembers back in the '70s there was a disagreement over sugar vs fat. The two camps split and they've never gotten back together.
Take a test. Find a program.

You'll be surprised how many places sponsor these courses. Well, did sponsor before COVID. I don't know how they are handling them now.
RO: Thanks! And -- "the perfect time"? Contemplating any changes of your own?
Lady M: I've seen Dr Fuhrman in some of the nutrition videos I've been watching. Congratulations on your success, and I'm sure it will continue to benefit you.
Sixpence, Mary K: Oddly enough I myself haven't found it as difficult as expected. I find I don't miss the meat or eggs at all, or even the chips, despite long feeling I was almost addicted to them. It really is a permanently-sustainable change.
Mike: I'm glad the CDC is apparently working on the basis of science rather than popular fads. There are a lot of reasons for preferring low-fat beyond the difference in calories. Refined sugar is unhealthy, but complex carbohydrates are what our systems evolved to run on, whereas eating substantial amounts of fat causes a lot of damage to the system. As for low-carb diets, they basically "work" by making the body so sick (ketosis) that it generates energy in an unnatural way, which can cause weight loss as many other illnesses do -- but it's doing terrible things to the cardiovascular system at the same time, and it's not sustainable over the long term. About the only thing low-carb diets are really good for is selling a lot of books, because they tell people what they want to hear instead of the truth -- but it's making money by inducing people to harm themselves. Practically criminal, certainly unethical.
