I see there was a thread on the Eat to Live book. Basically it is a vegan diet, but you don't have to be a vegan. You can be a vegetarian or eat some meat. It mostly stresses eating lots of cooked veggies and salads, fruits and beans and using other foods like a condiment (sparingly). I am a vegetarian but do eat cheese and have milk (mostly in coffee ). I read the book and would like to try it. Right now I am counting calories and using Slimfast, but I know I can't do slimfast forever.
Anyone else interested in starting an Eat to live thread again??

Hi. I just joined but I'm trying to start doing Eat to Live. I've been "easing myself into it" for the past two weeks but need to seriously start doing it. I am the farthest thing from a vegetarian but know that I'm going to need to stop eating all my standard foods in order to change and lose weight.

hi,

I'd love to give it another go

I've been doing ETL since last June on and off. But I need a good kick in the pants.

I'm in

I wouldn't mind giving it a shot, but just for a week or two. I'm commitment phobic I'll start Monday.

Hi everyone!
I am glad we have some people willing to try!! Great idea starting Monday Suzanne! That will give a chance to get to the grocery store and stock up on fruits and veggies. My real problem will be I love cheese and sweets. Lately it's been the coffee drinks like iced coffee. I love those and that would definately be out!! But I know if I stick to it the weight will fall off like the book promises.
Maybe we can post our progress each week to keep us motivated?
good luck to us all!

Ok First one here Monday morning can start a weekly thread and we can all report on our menus and ideas for making this work

we can post our menues too. Monday sounds good. If we go for 6 weeks that would be June the 18th. Agter the bindge I had today I really need to get back on track. I started a new medication today and I'm tired so I'm glad we are starting monday.
