We've gone totally vegan. My cholesterol has been steadily climbing. My Dad has a bad heart, his Dad died of a heart attack, and his Dad died of a heart attack. My wife's mom is having some heart issues (and you wouldn't expect it looking at her), and her Mom just died of heart failure. I don't want my kids to have to watch that with me. So, it was time to do something different. One of my Dad's doctors recommended this book to him: http://www.heartattackproof.com/
We are fully into it. Basically, the rules are simple.
Nothing with a mother or a face (no meat, fish, or eggs)
No dairy.
No nuts, except walnuts if you don't already have heart issues.
No oils. None.
You can have all fruits and veggies, whole grains, and all grains and legumes.
It isn't easy, but the studies show that it is very effective.

We are losing weight pretty nicely and feeling really good. I don't get sleepy in the afternoon like I used to. My running has gotten easier and faster. And so on.
Here is what I ate for the day yesterday.
Breakfast: Grapenuts, with fresh fruit (strawberries, grapes, blueberries, cherries, and peaches) with low-fat Soy milk and pulpy OJ
Morning snack: a pink lady apple
Lunch: the above mentioned leftovers from the night before
Afternoon snack: banana
Dinner: a salad made of black beans, roasted sweet corn, red onion, yellow pepper, green onion, garlic, tomatoes, and cilantro seasoned with cumin, salt, pepper, and fresh lime juice. Stuffed that into a fat-free pita with avocado slices. Yum.

That sounds good but is it really expensive to eat like that?  I feel like when I'm trying to eat better, it is very costly and I'm constantly running to the store.  I guess that is a choice you make. 


I'm eating pizza.  Yeah I know it is only 9:15 in the AM but that is what I want!
