And you are right: if you try to subsist on only vegetables and fruit and a tiny bit of whole grains, you end up hungry and looking for less than healthy snacks (tortilla chips, cookies, etc!) a few hours later.

Since I've been eating more starchy things I don't need the in between meal snacks.

I've been an almost vegan for two years, so this change will be just to take out the oil and processes soy fake-meat products. So it should not be too difficult.

I'll be really interested in seeing if my blood numbers get better.

That's the diet I try to stay on. leftyladyfrommo Apr 2013 #1
