For the first 3 months (after diagnosis) I went vegan to reach my target BMI of 22.5-23.0; which I now have maintained for the last two years.

Once I reached my target BMI, I brought salmon, chicken and grass feed beef back into my diet.

I retained the things I really enjoyed;

- two teaspoons of ceremonial grade Matcha tea and my own Ezekiel bread for breakfast

- dark berries with fruit juice smoothie for lunch

- 1 cup of mix of homegrown broccoli/ kale/ radish sprouts with whatever we’re eating for dinner

I occasionally make a “veggie chili with chicken” for dinner.

My one “cheat” is a glass of red wine with red peppers and carrots and hummus and spicy cheese with whole wheat crackers….every evening!

I find that if you don’t like “what’s good for you”, keep trying until you find things for which you enjoy….it’s the only way to sustain a “good diet”.
