Goals:

Get healthy first! Weightloss will follow!! (not the other way around) Find healthy, sensible ways to enjoy food while eating right. Make exercise a regular and fulfilling part of our weeks

Profile:

For anyone interested in following the McDougall low-fat vegan diet or any other veggie focused diet such as Eat to Live by Dr. Fuhrman. The results are great from both programs. An inspirational story can be found here: http://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2006star/august/060900kathy.htm This team is a place for fellow PeerTrainer members who want to jump start their weightloss and health to share recipes and ideas as well as help each other tackle obstacles and problems along the way. You don't have to be a die hard vegan to join (or even a vegetarian), just willing to try to follow the program to the best of your ability, recognizing that we'll all slip up along the way--it's the getting back on track that counts!

Other Info:

check out Dr. McDougall's web site for more info: http://www.drmcdougall.com/ check amazon.com for various McDougall books. The Maximum Weight Loss book is a good jump start but a pretty tough lifestyle change if you aren't vegetarian already. Dr. Fuhrman's site is http://www.drfuhrman.com/

Members profiles:

I am a Certified Instructor for the McDougall Starch Solution and also hold a certificate from Cornell in Plant-based Nutrition from the T. Collin Campbell Center for Nutritional Studies. In 2016 I completed the Rouxbe Plant-based Chef Program. I love to cook (and eat!) plant-based foods. I became a vegan in 1989 after reading John Robbins book A Diet for a New America and have been a peertrainer member since 2005.

58 years old, 2 great adult kids, great husband, great career, actually pretty great life. Committed exerciser for most of my life, but long work hours and hours in front of computer have lessened activity and increased emotional eating - resulting in weight gain, insomnia and general not-so-well-being.
