Alanis Morissette Goes Vegan

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Just read this story in the UK’s Daily Mail. Seems Alanis Morissette had gained weight after her break-up and now, at 35 years of age, has put her foot down, changed her diet, and started exercising regularly. She’s now dropped 1.5 stones (that’s 22 lbs) following the Eat To Live plan of our favorite doctor, Joel Fuhrman! :)

I remember going to see her in concert while at the University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH with my sister and some mutual friends. We had pretty decent seats diagonally up and to the right of the stage.

It was a great show! Her stamina really left an impression on me. You see, before it began, we’d all learned (I think they made an announcement, or she told us, I forget) she’d been quite sick that day, to the point of maybe canceling. Yet she decided “the show must go on” and damn, did it ever! You never would’ve guessed she’d been ill. Amazing stuff.

The “Best” Diet?

Friday, May 29th, 2009

This video from a couple years ago recently made its way back to the fore (what an interesting, apparently, but not actually, oxymoronic, expression) over on the Eat-2-Live Yahoo! group when one of the list members stumbled upon this post on Mark Sutton’s blog.

It’s from the Healthy Lifestyle Expo 2006 and features John McDougall, Joel Fuhrman, and several other lime-light panel members including, Caldwell Esselstyn (the first and last of whom, incidentally, endorsed Vegan Done Light). :)
 

While the gentleman’s comment at the end was cute(-sy), my first reaction to it wasn’t a laugh, but rather a “What?! Are you kidding? Why cut short such a fascinating debate?”

It seems to me, once we have the gist of healthy eating down (i.e., whole, plant-based foods, consumed in moderation) it’s exactly this kind of discussion that helps us fine-tune our diets.

I want to hear what you think…

Is such a to-and-fro constructive and informative or does it detract from and/or confuse the overall message?

Dr. Fuhrman Video

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, Joel Fuhrman is the man! :)

Eat For Health Video with Success Stories

I found Paul Surrell’s story around the 3:15 min mark most impressive. They don’t say whether weight loss was part of his recovery or not, but he’s thin in the video.

World Diabetes Day

Friday, November 14th, 2008

In honor of World Diabetes Day, I’m releasing the very first issue of the Vegan Done Light newsletter as a short three-page report entitled Diabetes: Beyond Sugar.

Also, though not specifically about diabetes, I thought you might like this recent interview with Dr. Joel Fuhrman on Tampa Bay morning television. I know I always enjoy his no-nonsense manner of speaking.

Makes for a good reminder:

Lastly, there’s, of course, raw foods, which have been making a splash on the diabetes scene with documentaries like Simply Raw (once titled Raw For 30 Days) and books such as Gabriel Cousen, M.D.’s audaciously-titled tome There Is A Cure For Diabetes.
