John McDougall and The Starch Solution

1. That's the diet I try to stay on.

I do really well on it. And I lost about 15 pounds over time.

Just eat all natural products - not processed ones. I eat lots of beans and legumes, potatoes and yams and brown rice and oat groats.

I can't just eat vegetables and fruit - I just done get enough energy that way. But Joel Furman has another vegan diet that is a lot the same but instead of complex carbs you stick to beans and legumes. I try to do that if I can and I feel OK. But the complex carbs give me a lot more variation. Then I try to also eat a big bowl of veggies and another big bowl of fruit.

I do drink kefir which is cultured milk that is loaded with live cultures - like yogurt only way more potent. You can get kefir made from soy milk and coconut milk but I think it tastes just awful.
