My diabetes is GONE. I beat it, doc! How Not to Die really did save my life! Guess what else? My wife hashad problems with her weight since she was a teenager. We went on a plant-based diet together, and she has, for the first time in years, gotten to a normal weight! We are both so happy, we feel like teenagers again. (Did I tell you we were high school sweethearts? That was a very long time ago, but it doesn’t feel so long ago anymore!)Also I want to mention that this diet is saving us some serious cash! I used to spend over $70 per month on my diabetes medications, my sugar meter, and test strip supplies. Now we are putting that money saved on medicine into … guess what … a Happiness Savings Account!We have both always wanted a dog, and when I finally beat diabetes, my wife said, “Your getting your health back is the best day of my life. We should celebrate it.” And I told her I wanted to go to the shelter and get a dog. When the staff at the shelter asked what kind of dog we wanted, I said, “A nice dog who you don’t think anyone else will want. The dog who everyone else gave up on. Second-chance dog, that’s MY dog, please.”The shelter folks talked for a minute, and then they brought out a big black dog with her head down and her tail tucked between her legs. We took one look at each other. Found out her name was Joy. Strange name for a sad dog, right? Well, we bonded fast, and now Joy, my wife, and I walk together every morning. We call it our JoyWalk! Joy is now living up to her name, and I think she saved me as much as I saved her.Most days I find all these new healthy choices easy, but when I get sidetracked, I just look at my Joy and remember how things were, and I remind myself that we are never going back there. Thank you for talking to me and for caring about me and my family. You will never know how much it means to me. I hope you can tell everyone what you told me about genes NOT being our destiny. There is hope and (at least in my house) there is Joy!Thanks, Dr. GregContentsCoverTitle PageCopyright NoticeINTRODUCTIONTHE DAILY DOZENONE SIMPLE PREPARATIONSTWO BREAKFASTTHREE SNACKS, DIPS, AND SPREADSFOUR SOUPS AND CHILIESFIVE SALADS AND DRESSINGSSIX BURGERS, WRAPS, AND MORESEVEN VERY VEGGIE MAINSEIGHT BEAN CUISINENINE GREAT GRAINSTEN SIDESELEVEN SWEETSTWELVE SIPSSAMPLE MENUS FOR 14 DAYSKITCHEN TECHNIQUESSHOPPING AND STOCKING THE PANTRYREFERENCESINDEXAbout the Authors Newsletter Sign-up CONTENTS CopyrightHardcover: 272 pagesPublisher: Flatiron Books; 1 edition (Dec 5 2017)Language: EnglishISBN-10: 1250127769ISBN-13: 978-1250127761ASIN: B0714B1Y42Source: http://www.amazon.ca/How-Not-Die-Cookbook-Recipes-ebook/dp/B…
