I hope people interested in a healthy lifestyle and losing weight will read this blog. This may not be for everyone, but it is for me. I have been scearching for a sensible way to improve my health and to lose weight. I am no spring chicken, but I'm not dead yet. I started reading Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman and I think I have found the answer. I quit eating meat about 6 weeks ago and started on the Eat to Live diet 2 weeks ago. I am very happy with it. I have lost 5 1/2 pounds and I am never really hungry. I don't miss meat at all, although I do miss cheese and chocolate some. I eat loads of salads, lots of fruit and some beans. I like to make soup with the beans.
I had almost competely removed beans from my diet due to gas until I read how to help eliminate the gas problem. Instead of soaking your beans in cold water over night, put the beans in water, bring to a boil, turn off the burner and let the beans set in the boiling water from 2 to 4 hours, pour off the water, rinse the beans, add fresh water and cook. Add seasonings but do not add salt when cooking your beans.
