So I’m trying to do a low fat veggie diet to promote and facilitate my weight loss goals. I know in the diet world it’s all about the low carb lifestyle, but I’m here to say that there are still those of us that believe a diet high in good-for-you complex carbs and minimal protein can give you great results. The great thing about it is that there is no cholesterol!

I’m currently reading Dr. Dean Ornish’s Eat More, Weigh Less. I’m loving it so far and it’s making total sense. I’ve ordered The McDougall Program for Maximum Weight Loss by Dr. John McDougall. I hope to receive it by sometime next week. I’ll write my thoughts on that book when I’ve read it.

Anyhow, in Dr. Ornish’s book the program promotes a diet high in whole grains, vegetables, fruits and some non-fat dairy (the less the better). He stresses the importance of cutting out oils (yes, even the highly aclaimed olive oil), and meat products. He claims that eliminating these two things alone will produce great results.

I’m about half-way through the book, but I already can see this is a keeper. However, since it’s a library book, I won’t be keeping this copy, but will be buying my own as soon as possible.

Have a blessed day!
