I have been watching a few documentaries on vegan and reading a lot on veganism. I am going to try the engine 2 28 day diet and was wondering if any vegans can give me some advice. I am 200 pounds over weight and on high blood pressure meds. I would appreciate any and all help I can get.

Thx

Hello! Well I think Engine 2 has a ton of recipes but I'd also check out:
http://blog.fatfreevegan.com
and
http://www.theppk.com/recipes/

I'd say just take it one day at a time and be gentle with yourself. You may slip up but that isn't a big deal.

I eat many of the engine 2 recipes, they are very good. Only thing to keep in mind is some are bland. So don't be afraid to add spices.

Watch Forks over Knives too!! Also look up Dr. Mcdougall! I have been doing this for the last 2 months im down 16 lbs! I love it!! I feel amazing!

I read the China Study and I own Forks over Knives, both big eye openers. Of course there are a LOT of non believers out there but the important thing is what YOU believe! Don't give up!
I already feel a butt load better since dropping animal products, I do slip up here and there but I don't give up. My BP is already way down and I lost about 18 pounds since starting a few months ago. The Fuhrman diet (what I'm doing) is a bit more intense but along the same lines.

whopoopwrasse,
I am a committed vegan.
I have also been a fat out of control food addicted binge eating vegan.
I have given up all processed vegan foods and I do not eat wheat or rice or most grains anymore at this point.
I do not consume sugar.
My life is better in every conceivable way.
