While feeling my heart beat out of control again, I was watching Dr Fuhrman on Dr Oz yesterday. I listened very carefully to his plan and then bought his book for my Kindle. I like the idea of a longevity diet because right now my main concern is that my eating is going to make me die young. I think that it's part health problems and part watching my father die young (42) that has me worried. So worried that I'm losing sleep over it. So I had an Atkin's friendly breakfast - then an apple for a snack. I still have a lot of meat in the freezer to clear out so I think I'll be doing this in phases. I'm not counting carbs (still counting calories). Not adding any processed food - and gradually getting rid of all the meat and cheese. Then increasing my veggie and fruit intake.
The six week "kick-start" plan - 1 lb raw veggies, 1 lb cooked veggies, 1 cup legumes, 4 fresh fruits (all these foods are unlimited)
No more that one serving of cooked starchy veggies or grains, 1oz raw nuts or seeds, 2oz avocado, 2 tbsp dried fruit, 1 tbsp ground flaxseed.
Off limits - dairy, animal products, between meal snacks, fruit juice, oils.
This will be tough. But I think I'm pretty tough too!
